*****I realize now that I might have contributed to a better welcome home for those soldiers fresh from Vietnam.*****

Completely wrong

[StarCMC]

He squelched his typically blistering rhetoric against the war in Iraq.

I was wondering about the sanity of having Mellencamp there. He's music's ok, but his vitriol is appalling. I'm glad he had sense enough (or handlers enough) to shut up about it in that venue.

“Thought” she was a traitor?

[HIDEK6]

I realize now that I might have contributed to a better welcome home for those soldiers fresh from Vietnam.

In the words of Dick Cheney, "F*** you."

In 1964 she protested the Vietnam War by refusing to pay 60 percent of her income taxes.

nothing to see here folks move along now.

This would be akin to Hanoi Jane Fonda visiting the troops, saying “I could have been more loyal during Vietnam to my own country!”

[yldstrk]

Good.

[LurkedLongEnough]

In short, Joan and John are victims!

[NavyCanDo]

KISS as the opening act for the New York Philharmonic would be more appropriate.

"I have always been an advocate for nonviolence,"

"After the concert, Baez said, Mellencamp left her a message to say, "I hope you're not mad at me." Her response: " 'Of course not. It's an honor to be turned down by the Army.' . . . But I would have been happier getting in . . . I thought times had changed enough."

This pretty much says it all!

The Army is smart enough to know a traitor when they see one!!

Joanie Phony is still alive?

[FastCoyote]

Believe it or not, I worked with Joan Baez’s mother in a bookstore back in 1975.

[wbill]

I love it. God bless our troops.

[Sensei Ern]

I think the reporter misunderstood her.

I realize now that I might have contributed to a betterBITTER welcome home for those soldiers fresh from Vietnam.

"In the end, four days before the concert, I was not 'approved' by the Army to take part. Strange irony."

i see no irony here...

[Gay State Conservative]

Baez, 66, said she wasn't told why she was given the boot, but speculated, "There might have been one, there might have been 50 [soldiers] that thought I was a traitor."

Fifty? FIFTY?????
