Blessed are-Joan Baez(posted in thanks for her endorsement of Bernie)

[Ken Burch]

One of the best songs anyone ever wrote or ever will write.

1. Exquisite.

2. Written for sense of rootlessness and despair a lot of people had in the 1969-71 era

and still resonant today(we are still one-way ticketholders).

3. I don't feel the despair or rootlessness anymore, not after having a wonderful family, but

I know what you are talking about. We are still all one-way ticketholders. Always were and will be until we lose our tickets. And that is the way it always ends, so we need to make the earth to be as good we can while we still have our tickets.

That's why I'm for Bernie.

We get one ticket on this earth.

4. Thank you for the eloquent post. n/t.

5. Beautiful.

She has such an amazing presence and voice. Love this woman.

6. Here's a photo of Joan Baez

performing for us on The Nation cruise in December 2012. She was on the cruise and
did a special concert--just for The Nation participants--one night. It was fabulous.
She's lost some of the clarity in her upper range, but still has that remarkable voice.

The Nation magazine does an annual cruise in December. My husband has been a subscriber for
as long as I can remember. His 70th birthday was that year--during the cruise--so I booked the trip for us as a
surprise birthday present. We had a great time cruising in the Caribbean with all those liberals!

7. My family just lost a 33 year-old member yesterday.

Young single-mother of two. These words spoke to me and gave me comfort, this morning.

Thanks so much for posting.

8. So sorry for your agonizing loss there.

Be well.
