    Just been listening to a Joan Baez interview on BBC Radio 4 broadcast 21st Feb 2012. Fascinating.

    My favorite song of Joan Baez is "who knows where the time goes." Beautiful song and voice.

    Love Joan Baez, or should I say Loved - I wasn't aware of her recent activities - thanks for the information!

    I enjoyed this visit, remembering the 60's and recalling with affection Joan's unique voice. Nicely put together, this. Thumbs up!

    I find it interesting that Joan Baez was vilified in the press for her political statements and acts of passive resistance by has not carried the stigma into the 21st century as compared to Jane Fonda who also made headlines for radical resistance and outspokenness. I think the difference as we look back comes down to sincerity and truthy. Joan was part of a real movement and shared her heart. Still does. Still love her.

    Seeing Joan Baez in concert is on my Bucket List. Have you seen her? What has Joan Baez meant to you?

    Joan Baez is a classic. I had no idea she was still touring, but now that your lens has rekindled my interested, I'm going to watch for a concert near me.

    The voice is still magnificent, even if it has lost a bit of power - get to see her if you can.

    OMG...I will be seeing Joan Baez this Monday in Redbank NJ. I cannot believe it. I have kept my ears and eyes open for a concert nearby (I live in Staten Island, NY and prior Rockaway, NY) since I was a teenager. When I saw this posted in a local paper I got tickets right away. She was and is one of the best singers, activist (for many) and sweet gentle soul. Thank you Ms. Baez for making this possible for me...

    I just loved listening to Joan Baez in my younger days and still today. Great lens. Lensrolled to The Brothers Four.

    I was raised on Joan Baez, Simon and Garfunkel, Beatles and Jefferson Airplane albums -- most of all Joan Baez. I still have the faded xeroxed pages from my Mom's Joan Baez songbook, and those are the songs I know (her more traditional music, all the Child Ballads and Irish folk songs she adapted). So I love to see her still going -- and happy, at last, to have a president she (and I) like!

    I want to call your attention to a protegé of Joan -- one of hundreds, I'm sure. A young (only not so young) woman who's done concerts with her and recorded a truly beautiful song with and about her called "You're Aging Well." That singer-songwriter is Dar Williams. I've made a lens on Dar -- www.squidoo.com/dar-williams -- that I hope you might consider featuring in your "Check out more music lenses" since Dar is definitely walking in the footsteps of Joan Baez, although also doing her own thing. You might like her, too!

    i saw joan baez in rome, italy in march 2007...after the concert had finished, the lights were up and everybody was putting on coats and leaving the auditorium somebody quite spontaneously started singing "we shall overcome..." - and all at once those of us left in the theatre joined in and started singing along. after a few verses joan baez came BACK OUT and joined in with us, directing us from the stage like a choir conductor...a really special moment!

    Please come check out www.squidoo.com/peteseeger, another great folk singer.

    Joan Baez is my idol with her wonderful voice, meaningful songs and peace activism. Great lens.

    Baez is one of those artists you must hear live to appreciate fully. She is magnificent. She tells whole novels in the few chords and lines of a song. Welcome to Boomers Rock!, Pat. Lovely lens.
