Joan Baez: Singer, activist, peacenik, lover, legend | Music | The Guardian
“For more than 50 years, Baez has been a central figure in the cultural and political life of the United States. A singer, an activist, a peacenik, a beauty, a lover (of some iconic men, it must be said). She is far too self-aware to utter the phrase ‘been there, done that’, but if she ever did, no one would take issue. Name a significant date in American politics since the early 1960s and she will either know the characters involved or have been involved in some way herself.”
Baez,73, plays the Royal Festival Hall, London, from 17-21 September (joanbaez.com)
