Imagine she is singing that live. Such a talent she is still today, her playing "The Boxer" with Paul Simon at 80 years old live is a must see as well. One of the most talented and beautiful singing voices of all time, her playing is a lady version of Gordon Lightfoot. Simply no words how amazing she is. No one can come close today to that performance.

Yeah there were the music of the seventies of the flower power and what there is today is really signs of the apocaylypse. Know it. Face it. Wake up if you're spiritually asleep and rise your consciousness. The apocalypse has two parts. The bright shining light of the universe and darkness which is the absence of love. These are the times when we have to make the choice for which part we make our decision. Those that make the wrong decision are doomed. We can only pray for those that inherit this planet from us to wake up and make the right decision. That is what Joan Baez between the lines was constantly singing about for those that listened. And today's musicians are prey for the industry almost inevitable not to get eaten alive by it. What we can do: praying.
