WOODSIDE — 1960s songbird Joan Baez is "resting comfortably" at an undisclosed location after falling 20 feet to the ground from a treehouse — a treehouse she purposely had built without walls because she wanted to sleep among real birds at her Woodside, Calif., home.

Darwin Award Candidate!
You just can’t make this stuff up.
Nature has a way of weeding out stupid people.
OMG! She’s still a flake!
Birdbrain!
I seem to remember that she saw the error of her ways regarding war protests back in the ‘60s. Didn’t she once apologize for what she had done?
Um. OK.
Bad politics, but undoubtedly the most beautiful voice to come out the folk years.
Was Keith Richards with her?

Even if I wanted to sleep among “real” birds (not likely), I’d never admit to such a hare-brained thought even under the threat of torture. I’d just claim I ran out of lumber or something.
It not only doesn’t have walls, it doesn’t have a floor, or guard rails ~ just a large fork in a tree at the lowest joinder with the trunk See: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/11/behindthescenes200711
Cue the Theme from Twilight Zone.

The birds she should be living with are built into Black Forest clocks.

LOL
It says she fell while climbing down from the platform. I imagine the treehouse probably had a railing, if not walls.
Sometimes you just have an accident. I got up on top of a step ladder this evening and replaced three light bulbs, and I must say I was relieved that once again I managed to get back down without falling and breaking something—as two of my friends have done in recent years, falling off of ladders.
Maybe she tried to fly!
