There have always been some people who don't like the way Joan sings. That's natural. It happens with all singers.

I love Joan. She was my original # 1 inspiration, and I lay around on the carpet mooning over the pictures of her on the album covers (specially that one where she's sitting on a country fence, with her bare feet dangling down, and smiling demurely, eyes downcast...

What an angelic figure indeed.

She also was of huge assistance to Bob Dylan, and indeed to everybody in the folk movement.

I wrote a song dedicated to Joan Baez, and the chorus says "And I thank the stars God gave her a voice to sing with".

Live forever, Joan! Viva Joan! Gracias, gracias, gracias!
