5. Joan Baez – “Diamonds and Rust” (1975)

Baez wrote this song about Bob Dylan. In 1961, Baez was an acclaimed folk singer who gave a much-needed boost to young, relatively unknown Bob Dylan’s career. She invited Dylan to play her shows, exposing him to audiences of 10,000 plus during her 1963 tour. Eventually, he didn’t pay back the favor: he reportedly snubbed Baez by inviting her to play on his 1965 tour but never letting her onstage. In 1975, she wrote “Diamonds and Rust”: “You burst on the scene already a legend / The unwashed phenomenon, the original vagabond.”
