Q: How do you want the world to remember Joan Baez?Ī: I’m not sure how to answer that.

The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and many, many rock artists said how I important I was when they were starting. Q: What did your induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 mean to you?Ī: Part of it was, “What is she doing here?” On the other hand it was, “It’s about time.” I accept, in a slightly serious way, that I was a conduit between the folk boom and rock ’n’ roll. And it was so gorgeous, and I ended up singing it. It was very flattering that he would call up and read me what he’d just done. Q: What was it like when he read the lyrics of “Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts” over the phone to you that you allude to in your song “Diamonds and Rust”?Ī: I didn’t really understand it because there were so many details. Right now I’m just grateful for having dropped the BS. It was old left over from many, many years ago. How do you feel about that?Ī: Recently, I was doing some painting and I was painting Bob and listening to his music and any resentment or anything negative vanished. Q: People here in the Upper Midwest remember you showing up at the Dakota pipeline protest a couple of years ago.Ī: Oh, yeah. Last year I didn’t sing any concerts and I showed up more publicly for political events than I had in a long time. Q: Will you show up at rallies and protests?Ī: Of course. Even if the ending is hopeful, to remain decent during these times can really be a challenge. They do not exist for this administration. They don’t have to feel for anybody, particularly people who don’t have any money or are the wrong color or are too old or are gay. People like myself need to double up on our empathy and compassion and intelligence and willingness to take risks because there isn’t any empathy on the other side. Q: Besides the Parkand High School students, what else gives you hope right now?Ī: People like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I see this album and the first album and all that’s in between. In general, there are so many likenesses of ballads and politically conscious songs and the simplicity. What do you mean by that?Ī: For instance, I’d asked Josh Ritter to write me a folk song and “The Silver Blade” is what came out that’s a bookend to “Silver Dagger”. You’ve called it a bookend to your first album from 1960. Q: The album is a reflection of the kind of material you’ve done over the years.

The “President” song and “Another World” take the album to a different level.

Q: There are some powerful songs on your new album such as “The President Sang Amazing Grace” about Barack Obama at the service for the Charleston church shooting victims.Ī: Those are absolutely powerful. Maybe they don’t need what I think they need. It’s called “I Carried the Flame.” Maybe they don’t want one. I talked to Josh Ritter, who wrote for me the closest thing to an anthem that I’ve heard in a long time. Q: Do you have conversations with those kinds of people that we’re not aware of?Ī: A few.
