Bobby Dylan & Joan Baez

Post by jamestkirk »

Dylan and Baez were a famous, brilliant and romantic pairing of two of the greatest of folk rock history. It wasn't a pairing of two superstars, but of compatriots in music and hearts...for a while. The music they wrote about each other, during after they were together, is some of the best and most memorable music ever written.


What makes it special for me is the times of course and the fact that it wasn't one of those commercial pairings of super=egos....but one that grew together & one that grew apart due to musical growth -- growing apart as they grew up. Can't really see it happening today or ever again.
Those innocent times of peace love protest and flower power just can't exist in these jaded times of twitter and facebook and wikileaks.

Those were the days. What other famous pairings had a deep meaning in your life and times that compare to this...musically--romantically or not, but certainly not just the formation of a band that got together, no matter how written-in-the-stars they were.

A song from Joan about her Bobby.....with some wonderful, great videos of the two as their life passes.

Any songs by Bobby and Joan that touched you-Joan performed so well so much of Bob's material too, with a resect and love like no other artist....Bob and Joan (when will there ever a movie? Seems to me that HAS to be made...the soundtrack would be remarkable!)
