Joan Baez: ‘I Was Right 40 Years Ago and I Am Right Now!’ Print E-mail

Age has not wearied Joan Baez, the queen of protest, but it’s calmed her down ... a bit

(Times Online/UK) - Time has been kind to Joan Baez. Over peppermint tea in the restaurant of a South London hotel, the queen of America's folk scene in the Sixties appears extremely youthful for someone in the fifth decade of her career.
