I'm glad you checked back in Johnnythebone. I for one didn't see any vindictiveness in your posting, and I'm surprised at the vitriol that you have whipped up.I like what Joan Baez has stood for, but I'd rather not listen to her sing. Then again I love Peter Shickle, but it was a sad day when he orchestrated music for one of her albums (IMHO).
Being a fraud? Performers, like the rest of us, have always walked a line between their conscience and their market. Look what they did to Socrates.
Just being on stage leaves one open to criticism, just like posting onto a message board.
