Here’s my old “buddy” Joan Baez, singing We Shall Overcome, partly in Persian, in support of the Iranians campaigning for more rights. Hat tip to Juan Cole. (Back in 1962 I went to the Brookline Public Library in Brookline, Mass., with a friend and watched the young Joan Baez do some songs.)

Joan Baez is a truly wonderful person… one of the few who didn’t betray her thoughts and political ideas. I really admire her for her integrity.

Thanks, Zhu. Yes, she’s been consistent over the years. I’ve always liked her too.
