Joan Baez

Singer and social activist Joan Baez was born in Staten Island, New York. Her rendition of the labor anthem "Joe Hill" was a highlight of the historic 1969 Woodstock music festival.

1. Happy Birthday!......here is one of my favorites of hers.

2. Wow she's the same age as my mom

It is interesting how many children born during the war years would grow up and have to face a war of their own. You can hear the the struggles of that time in the music.

12. I am in awe that you had that experience in person! So many greats were there.

It's more legendary to me than Woodstock, by far.

14. Oh for sure. What an experience.. I was 17, we slept in our car,

one of the best times of my life, peace. love and rock and roll (only some of the oldies weren't happy when Dylan plugged in.)

15. One of Dylan's best.. a great song.

"we forgave the Germans, and then we were friends. Tho they murdered 6 million in the ovens they fried, the Germans now too have God on their side."
