Ah yes, I am a Joan Baez fan. My mother raised me on her and Buffy Saint Marie. Needless to say that I remember the sixties because I wasn't there... (have you heard that joke?) My mother was attracted because of the social activism these two women carried on through their music.

I can understand that some people would not like the wavering of her voice. It is excessive although I never tire of it. The first song I learned was "All In Green Went My Love Riding". Then "Fountain of Sorrow" which I find describes classically the fall-out of romantic obsession. That would be the pattern of her life romantically I would say after reading her auto-biography. I couldn't follow her path career wise. Someone had to tread that path. Thank God for her.

Perhaps her beauty lies in her mixed heritage - Mexican and was it Irish? A beautiful combination and from an intellectual family.

As for a movie, I'd love to audition although I'd not get the part. I don't have the looks nor the artistic profile.
