I am a folkie from way back. Love the harmony. Mighty Wind was dead on because it made fun of the genre in a kind way, not going for the throat.

"Mighty Wind was dead on because it made fun of the genre in a kind way, not going for the throat."
Very true. Never thought I would see "Spinal Tap" doing folk. Classic. I also thought the music was good, written and performed by the actors.

I see the has-beens crawling out of the woodwork to try and get another 15 minutes.

'Mighty wind' stunk...it was a fluff piece for the folkies...
Meatheads "This is spinal tap" was brilliant as much as I hate Meatheads politics...this was a funny movie and even die hard rockers..love it(at least ones smart enought to get it). on a scale of 1-10....I give it an eleven.

Her voice isn't what it used to be. Still, she can crank up those leather bellows when necessary.

The closest I come to listening to Joan Baez is when I listen to Judas Priest's version of Diamonds and Rust. Thanks for that, Joan. Now, go away.

I remember from the 60's. Hated her politics but the woman could flat out sing. Beautiful voice. But then again, Babs Streisand has a beautiful voice (barf).

I enjoy Linda Ronstadt's voice and her song selection, but she's an odious person.

Do you know that the "Spinal Tap" three, out on tour at the time of the release of "Mighty Wind", actually opened for Spinal Tap as "The Folksmen"? The three guys got booed off the stage by rock and roll fans who had no idea who the washed-up old folkies were!
