Joan Baez scheduled to perform tonight.Jeez, shades of Rocky Horror, 'I remember doing the Time Warp...'
Do these people realize the Vietnam war is over?
While I'm not about to agree with Joan Baez, she has the decency to be consistent. She condemned the North Vietnamese invasions of Cambodia and takeover of Laos. She was opposed to the involvement in Kosovo and the bombings of Belgrade, she has been the target of attacks by the Left, like Hanoi Jane, for her consistency.
I've always felt that her beliefs were truly felt and without animus, sort of like Dorothy Day. Unlike a lot of lefty performers, I can still enjoy her music without feeling either guilt or anger.
