Loved reliving the time period, getting to know the personal side of one of my favorite musicians from you high school, college years. I saw her in concert at Rec Hall back in the day. And I'm looking forward to the PBS special on the occasion of her 75th birthday. Writing got a bit rambling at times. Surprised to learn she is a Quaker by faith...though given her emphasis on nonviolence, should be surprised.

A lot of people feel okay slagging Joan Baez but I thoroughly enjoyed her memoir. I like her a lot after reading her life story. Her struggles with stage fright, her various and varied love life and her life as a mother were all written about openly and it was interesting to me. She was one of a huge cast of up and comers and had lots of experiences to write about. Say what you want about her but I think she was one of the originals.

An interesting autobiography, although not as compelling as I'd hoped it would be. I actually found the book a bit frustrating. There are sections that are positively thrilling: the chapters on her early life, her relationship with Bob Dylan, her trip to Vietnam, the section on LIVEAID, but there are other sections that are simply dull.

I'm glad I read it, but I feel like telling people to read just the good parts.

Not a review, just more comments, and the repeated wish that I'd read this in the late 80s, when it was all still fresh. (Ah, Live Aid!)

Cute mention of technology in the Acknowledgements: among the people she thanks was "Steve Jobs for forcing me to use a word processor by putting one in my kitchen."

Great book! Loved her descriptions of the various stages of her life. I learned so much about her! Well worth it.

This book was dope
