HA HA

LOSERS

I thought she was dead oh well add to my 2007 dead pool

[beachn4fun]

No sympathy from me!

Joan Baez is the only high profile war crtitic who expressed regret at how things turned out in Indochina with the commies in control.

[VictoryGal]

Plus, she sounds like a drowning cat. She could make healthy people sick, no way should she be allowed near recovering patients.

That’s precisely what’s so pathetic about these pacifists: they fervently and sincerely believe that their commitment to surrender in the face of pure evil somehow creates a bond with U.S. soldiers.

[norwaypinesavage]

"There might have been 50 (soldiers) that thought I was a traitor," she told the paper."

How about 150 million Americans?

[wideawake]

I've got a compromise solution:

Joan Baez can perform at Walter Reed, but only if she either: (1) performs a set consisting only of requests from the soldiers or (2) performs a set consisting entirely of her own compositions.

I'll point out that in her 48 year career as a folk singer, she has not written a single composition herself.

Or, if she has, she has never recorded such a composition on any of her 30+ albums, to my knowledge.

Whatever happened to her former husband David who went to jail as a draft dodger? During his stretch she had a lesbian affair didn’t she?

[Rocko]

I’m not a fan, but she did write “Diamonds & Rust.”

[mockingbyrd]

she’s still around.....like any young person today wants to listen to her or even knows who the heck she is.

[Salamander]

Her version of “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” always brings me to tears....of pain.

[MuttTheHoople]

Our soldiers don't want to listen to some biddie old enough to be their grandmother lecturing them with bad renditions of lame folk songs. She should be thrown in prison for mangling "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" alone.

No bra-less anti-war chicks over the age of 30!!!

“Whatever happened to her former husband David who went to jail as a draft dodger? During his stretch she had a lesbian affair didn’t she?”

don’t know & don’t care...

but being a “draft dodger” in America is a badge of honor these days...look at Clinton...he dodged the draft THREE FRIGGIN TIMES and what did he get for his cowardice?
He was elected & reelected POTUS!
Is this a great country or what!

[Tamar1973]

Folk singer and anti-war activist Joan Baez says she doesn't know why she was not allowed to perform for recovering soldiers recently at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as she planned.

If she really doesn't know why they wouldn't want her there, she must be going through the early stages of Alzheimer's.

[Badeye]

btw, anybody that wonders about Mellencamp, check out the transcript of his conversation with Charlie Rose a few weeks back.

Among the other insane comments he made, he suggested we ‘over reacted to Pearl Harbor’....(eyes rolling)

Kinda like you over reacted to your four previous wives, Johnny?

[fishergirl]

LOL!

[Salamander]

And Rob Halford sang it better.

[she sounds like 2 chalkboards mating]

[Salamander]

I beat you by less than a minute....LOL!
