CRAWFORD, Texas Aug 22, 2005 — Joan Baez was against the Vietnam War and she showed it appearing at marches, once even blocking the entrance of a military induction center.
The folk singer is against the Iraq war, too, and she showed her support Sunday to protesters camping out near President Bush's ranch.
Baez took to the stage for about 500 people on an acre lot offered by a landowner who opposes the war, performing such classic peace anthems as "Song of Peace," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot."
Not far way is the camp started by Cindy Seehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq.
"In the first march I went to (opposing Vietnam) there were 10 of us. This is huge," Baez told the relatives of fallen soldiers before performing just up the road from the ranch.
For Baez, an anti-war movement was inevitable.
"It was the final tear for the overflow and you can't stop running water," she said. "Cindy's was the final tear."
Downtown, more Bush supporters arrived at a pro-Bush camp that had been set up as a reaction to Sheehan's. As of Sunday afternoon, more than 150 people had visited the large tent with "God Bless Our President!" and "God Bless Our Troops" banners and a life-size cardboard cutout of Bush.
"When we saw this, we said, `Thank God you're here'," said Frances Lee, who came from Douglasville, Ga., with neighbor Brenda Bohanan. They planned to hold pro-Bush banners down the street from the protesters.
"We said, `We wanted y'all to know that there are people from all over the United States that care'," Lee said.
The pro-Bush camp is called "Fort Qualls," for Marine Lance Cpl. Louis Wayne Qualls, 20, killed in Fallujah last fall. His father, Gary Qualls of Temple, said the anti-war demonstrators are being disrespectful to soldiers.
Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, also died last year in Iraq. He is among more than 1,800 U.S. soldiers killed since the March 2003 invasion.
Sheehan, of Vacaville, Calif., started the anti-war demonstration on Aug. 6 and vowed to remain until Bush agreed to meet with her or until his monthlong vacation ends Sept. 3. She flew to Los Angeles last week after her 74-year-old mother had a stroke but is expected to return to Texas in a few days.
Yeah, the narcisistic old hippies of the '60's, such as Baez, haven't realized that most Americans today are not easily fooled as in the '60s and materialism is the mantra of the youth today, not rebellion.
Bod Dylan was smart to drop you Baez.
That was Jimi Hendrix.
Joan Baez is a hardcore neo-Stalinist pig and her singing/entertainment still sucks...

ROFLMAO. My first BIG laugh of the day. Thanks!
Some good posts here... ;-D
From the 60's myself.
Never liked Joan Baez.
Supported the Vietnam War
Voted for Nixon in '72 age 19
Fought endless verbal battles with dirty commie-pinko liberals.
New and still remember all of the lyrics to Country Joe's Song.
of course the anti-war movement wasn't nearly as powerful in Louisiana.
Joan Baez: beautiful, beautiful voice expressing an ugly, ugly soul.
Dan
Nope, Mama Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas
I know that, but I thought there was some ugly broad that died, and I thought it was Joan Baez. Oh well.
What is he sitting on? The tin foil Mother Ship?
What a class act. Who wouldn't want to take political advice from this guy?
Here's some lyrics to one song Dylan wrote about Baez:
Idiot Wind
Blowing every time you move your mouth
You're an idiot babe
It's a wonder you still know how to breathe
Didn't Baez get enough blood on her hands with the pullout of Vietnam? Is she thirsting for yet MORE blood....this time Iraqi blood?
Well I looked over Jordan and what did I see . . . coming for to carry me hooooome?
Now Joan Baez WOULD look better in a burqua.
Actually, Baez is a Portuguese name. Joan was born in Staten Island, New York. She was a good singer and would be fondly remembered if she had stayed away from anti-war protest songs.
LOL! Thanks for posting that picture. Made my day!
Mama Cass, as the urban legend goes, choked on a ham sammich, but that is an urban legend.
The original post asked if Joan Baez died choking on her own vomit. Jimi Hendrix did in fact, choke to death on his own vomit while in an LSD stupor.
