I remember meeting Baez a number of times in the early 60’s where she, her sister and Bob Dylan used to frequent some of the more seedy Greenwich Village clubs. She and Dylan were a weird, dirty-looking looking duo who had the hots for each other for a while. She had a lot to do with introducing the then unknown Bob Dylan by allowing him to perform at some of her more esoteric concerts. Of the many performers who I met in those days Dylan was among the snottiest of them while she would just sit at an out of the way table with a glassy-eyed stare, ignoring everybody.
Speaking of Joan’s contemporaries Janis Ian was the original choice for the part of Carla in “Cheers.” She said no to acting and wanted to stay with music.
“Dylan was among the snottiest “
He wasn’t snotty. He was autistic.
