Was that the song Joan Boaz sang about her ex, David Harris, who had gone to prison for resisting the draft?
It’s the song she sung about her ex, Bob Dylan, who had gone with a woman other than her. Eat your heart out, Taylor Swift.
Politics aside, Joan Baez has a fantastic voice, even today.
Besides the hit “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”, I used to like her version of “Joe Hill”. I loved her gospel phrasing of it, till I learned that “Joe Hill” was one of the Communist Anthems. Oops!
Of course some say the exact same thing about John Lennon’s “Imagine.”
Mr. Hoplalong Ginsberg; You music is not my favorite style, but don’t stop. Many here do love what you produce. You have your own style, you’re an artist having fun, taking risks and giving
pleasure to others. I am a visual artist, but presently, with no studio, no real privacy, I have not felt inspired to make it happen. You, on the other hand are still living it.
So I stop by, hear your work and am inspired. “He’s still at it!”
