What is the song that Joan Baez sings that parodies Mary on "Very Early Joan"? She does great pop, but I don't recall anything that sounds like a Travers travesty.
If you listen to the concert recording of the Dylan at Carnegie Hall album, where Bob and Joan do a couple of duets for old times sake, you can see that he has gone off into a different domain completely, she sort of gasps in the dust of his speeding car. Joan is probably the best example of what would have happened if Bob had stayed a folkie -- immensely talented purveyor of traditional material, with occasional straying into some excellent compositions. Nothing wrong with that, but it ain't Dylan.
yours,
