Joan Baez is an icon to those of us who came of age in the sixties, hard to put in words what her songs and activism have meant over the years.
Love that conversation about her trepidations about going to Nashville, resonates with the collaboration between black artists and the Steve Croppers, Duane Allmans back in those days - makes all this talk about "reaching across the aisle" in politics seem shallow.
One of the things that impress me about SE's music - playing with Del McCoury one minute, Joan Baez and Pete Seeger the next. Not everyone can carrry that off, or even try, that's the first step. Johnny Cash worked hard at that, maybe that's we all seem to respect him and love his music.
