Is Joan Baez still around? I listened to her in the "swinging 60's", forty years ago.

Baez is an amazing individual. She is famous for one reason: the guy she was sleeping with when she was 20 let her record some of his songs. The name of that boyfriend? Bob Dylan.

She has been performing music for the past 46 years and in that time she has (1) not improved her guitar playing a single bit - she still sounds like a high school kid who has been playing for a few months and (2) she has never written a single song. Ever. Not one original composition. Not one.

She had a pleasant enough voice once, like a million or so other women out there.

She is probably the least talented person ever to record more than 30 studio albums for major labels.
