JUSTIN KANEPS FOR ROLLING STONE
Happy 82nd birthday to Joan Baez!
“She was something else, almost too much to take,” Dylan said. “Her voice was like that of a siren from off some Greek island. Just the sound of it could put you into a spell. She was an enchantress. ... She’d make you forget who you were.”
Joan: "You can always kid yourself, and just say your work is important. Whether it is or not, it has to be to you. It has to be real to you. There’s something sort of cosmic about that. If that’s real to you, then in some way it’s out there as a little piece of reality in the face of all of this terrible stuff we’re in. And if you stay true to yourself, and true to your art, it’s got to mean something.”
