What a tremendous blessing to have lived at the same time as Joan Baez! We've been young together, we've aged together. Thank you, Universe.

You sure called that right.

[@seanlong7872]

Enjoy Joan because she is only allowed to be amongst us for one lifetime....Beautiful,i have been a fan since the 1960's

[@rbernard6685]

Sean, I walked into a church in the E. Village during an anti Viet Nam protest and standing inn the center of that small hallowed ground stood Joan Baez and Country Joe singing protest songs. I still tremble when I recall that moment.

[@pennyjohnston4703]

Joan is amazing, her words and lovely voice ❤️

[@susanharris4398]

She is a American treasure She is aging beautiful sign of a great outlook on life

[@anibalfernando3027]

I had a privilege to see and hear Joan Baez in Lisbon Coliseum two years ago..what a night..

[@pankajsarma8198]

And her voice is ever beautiful and soulful as it was..

[@lindaluther4091]

But lower Like mine is these days!!) love it anyhow.

[@MrRichDavid]

Thank you so much for this! The most beautiful song on the new CD....Baez is a National Treasure for the entire world and still The Queen of Folk....Now that's aging gracefully! Long Live the Queen~

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Ah Joan! When I hear you, I am so proud to be an American. From my teens hearing you sing under the swaying of the coconut tree in the courtyard of the torpid afternoon heat in India, to the cool evenings in Northern California, I've traveled through time with you. How quickly that river of time flows. I am here now in the same place as you, never having met you, but admiring you so much. I love you Joan, and thank you for your service to the country and to the world. And your songs, those glorious songs!

[@anish10242]

Wonderful!! I'm from southern part of India and I was introduced to Joan's music by my mum.

[@SteveWoodall1946]

Thank you so much for that beautiful tribute, Joan. Very powerful,

[@petergoldman6495]

I've had a crush on Joan Baez for more than fifty years, and it's not just or even primarily her outward beauty or her voice---it's her soul.

[@pweverka]

Beautiful song. Beautiful rendition. Songwriting credit is Zoe Mulford.

[@bleueyez2]

Joan as been in my record collection since the early 60's...thanks Joan...and congrats on your Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You are loved.

[@aleta5873]

I've seen Joan Baez in concert several times in LA and I have loved her for a long time. She is such an inspiration to better my soul, heart and mind. Peace, Love and Harmony. Long live Joan Baez !!! xoxo

[@alanatolstad4824]

I saw her perform free, one year in San Diego, during the War years. I ultimately chose to leave at the intermission, because for every wonderful song, she gave a political speech even longer. I truly admired her passion, but not being a political person myself, couldn't make myself stay for the music.

[@caseyjoanz]

trout fishing - I was dedicated rock fan, but some friends talked me into seeing Joan at the Santa Monica Civic. Jesus, she had no back up. It was just her with an acoustic guitar. But her voice! And she’s an extremely talented guitarist. Every song was good, she was funny and loose, and -Yes - she was promoting an agenda (that’s what she does). It wasn’t preachy in the sense of admonishing the audience, it was a benefit for the United Farm Workers, and she just explained what the situation was and asked for any help anyone was willing to offer. She’s only political in area of non-violence. There weren’t any calls to support candidates or legislation. I don’t think she even believes in voting (she doesn’t vote herself), and she explained why: she doesn’t trust the process. Given what we now know about how we pick our leaders, she was nothing less than prescient. I have to say it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.

[@cici7739]

I love that she just stayed right where she was sat and grabbed her guitar. Felt like a jam sesh in the living room :)

[@mothersgauri4137]

Wow..powerful song...powerful lady. Thank you Joan for being you !

[@alexandras.3782]

One of my favorite singers of all time. I'm so lucky I got to see her live in concert one time. ❤

[@maviccabreraballeza8597]

She as a person and her voice are hauntingly beautiful! Thank you, Joan for you and your music!

[@kasperrghat4318]

Wonderful. The beauty of a century.

[@shoutatthesky]

I've often heard the name. Now I know the voice. And what a joy it is!

[@patriciaburke2401]

A remarkable lady sings about a remarkable President. Thanks!

[@JAGAE]

"the" President also bombed 7 Countrys and is responsible for thousands of deaths ...

[@ynotttt]

The Donald saaaaang.....amazing Grace....

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

JAGAE : #Bernie2020 !! The man who is on a mission to provide everyone with FREE healthcare insurance, which America doesn’t have because when Harry Truman tried to enact it, white people blanched at the prospect of sharing hospitals with black people. Yes, I thought that I would just leave ‘blanched’ in there. It boggles the mind that people think he was a great president. PS: Watch #DemocracyNow which has archived every show that they ever did. The website frequently has musical guests, and they talk and perform ( They talk as long as they want to. ) #RacismHurtsEveryone

OMG, Joan, you have the greatest honesty and guts to tell the truth to our World. I Thank You with All My Heart and Soul for all you do for us.

[@elliehjemmet]

I am SO grateful this clip shows the name of the writer of this song, Zoe Mulford. In the earlier clip from this interview I heard Joan say the song was written by a young girl... first I'd heard of attribution. This was a wonderful interview and performance by a truly gifted and blessed person. Thank you, Joan and Thank you Skavlan. Magnificent!

[@stefankuster5911]

Joan Baez is just amazing - for decades now!

[@SnoriSnorison]

As usual, Joan's message is on-point.

[@BrungersBandRock]

I love her voice even more now

[@peggyolson6511]

Joan says her voice is affected by age, but damn, she's still got it! Perfect pitch, great phrasing and control, more so than most singers 50 years younger than her.

[@MrDLOC11]

Still got it Queen Joan.

[@MrVidaeverdade]

I don't think she's ever sought to be a queen. She's spent her career trying to shine a light on others, not on herself.

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

MrDLOC11 : Nice one!

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

MrVidaeverdade : It’s a Dylan song reference.

[@JohnBlund40]

Joan Baez is a fantastic good singer. I always loved her voice.
