WOODSIDE, Calif. — 1960s songbird Joan Baez is "resting comfortably" at an undisclosed location after falling 20 feet to the ground from a treehouse - a treehouse she purposely had built without walls because she wanted to sleep among real birds at her Woodside, Calif., home.

Thanks for the laugh!
Is Joan Baez a plucked coo coo?
Where did you get San Diego? Woodside is near SF.
Either she didn’t fall two stories or she isn’t not seriously hurt.
One of my friends worked at the Forum in Inglewood in the 1980’s and worked at the Amnesty International Conspiracy of Hope concert in 1986. The lineup included Sting, U2, Peter Gabriel, etc....& Joan Baez. He said he had never seen the Forum empty out so fast as when Baez too the stage about 1/3 of the way into the concert. The bathrooms & food vendors were overwhelmed.
From anonymous sources rumored conversation she had with the ER doctor:
A woman from California who was a tree hugger, a Democrat, and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland.
There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started to climb the big tree As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the ER to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her.
She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, “What took you so long?” He smiled and then told her, “Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I’m sorry, but they turned me down.”
I learned real quick I was no bull rider! I didn't even make it 3 seconds!
As for Joan Baez, many in the late 60s preffered Judy Collins.
Joan Baez was born January 9, 1941 - meaning she is 68 years old, closer to 69 years of age. Falling 20’ downward from a tree at that age had to have been very painful. Probably not a contender for Dancing with the Stars next year....
LOL!!!
Joan Baez fell out of her tree again.
What song is she going to write this time?
Check your atlas. Woodside is nowhere near San Diego.
I can’t help it, I know it’s probably perverse, but I busted out laughing out loud
Will a fourth poster be so kind as to point that out?
I’ll wager alcohol was a contributing factor.
Sie hat einen Vogel?
All right. You’re off the hook because you came up with such a great caption!
Maybe the aging Baez hippy will need a hip replacement.
Yup. There’s no fool like an old fool.
Koko lives in Woodside too.
