Recently protesters demonstrated outside of a Joan Baez concert in Idaho Falls. Pictured is Joan, who asked to go outside and meet face to face with them, and two of the protesters. As with many of my generation, I am only vaguely familiar with Joan Baez and her legacy. This diary, written by a witness to the event and the subsequent conversations between all involved was extremely moving and inspiring. This is why need to heed droogie and be beautiful to one another! What a wonderful woman!
BONUS: YouTube video of Joan Baez singing "We Shall Overcome" in her kitchen. She sings some lyrics in Farsi, in hopes of offering some inspiration and comfort for those in Iran. Thankfully, she has also inspired and comforted me.
