My hero, Joan, my tears are streaming as I am listening to this. I met her in person twice and spent time talking about dear subjects and even sang with her Jari Ya Hammouda and I have to say that she is as true and modest and humble as you can imagine. Long may you live

Joan Baez is so grounded and articulate and witty. One of the rare musicians who made it to Big fame without losing her integrity. A true blessed gem !

Beautiful Joan ❤❤❤

Excellent !

A really fascinating and very interesting woman. Complete clarity of thought. plus an unobtrusive interviewer.

Wow.... this was 35 years ago.... and what she’s saying about the music industry it resonates so much today.

such a soul💙

💎 Genius

that interview is TOP!!!!!!

"On this silent railroad forever"....what a great expression. amazing how nobody goes on t.v and talks like that. the idea that America isn't perfect., what a novel idea.....are we ever allowed to talk about that. if you don't acknowledge problems, you ever fix anything.

Lindinha demais. Amo Joan Baes

Beautiful lady is Joan

Beautiful, thank you for posting!

Great interview. Great channel! 👍

Now that is one squeeky door!!

Watched her interview with Steven Colbert…magical women…

Great, insightful interview. Her observations here about music and change are still very relevant. It’s just a bit weird she ends up praising Phil Collins.

This is a great interview. Thank you for posting this. I think the date listed is incorrect though. She mentions Live Aid as having already happened, and that was during the summer of 1985, and she also notes the then-upcoming Amnesty International tour with Sting and U2, which would take place in the spring of '86, so this seems to be sometime during the fall/winter of 1985??

Hi Music Vault - this is a great interview > "Rock Influence" ... I'm interested in licensing portions of it for a documentary film. Can you let me know who owns the copyright and how to contact them? Thank you for any leads!

Marx: "It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but, on the contrary, their social existence that determines their consciousness." Joan Baez: "we've run out of songs for social change, bacause they haven't been written because we have not been in struggle to create those songs."

"The silence of the seventies" -- well, punk was not very silent, to put it mildly.

Speaking of, music diversity even within the ranks of folk or folk-rock and not a mention of Paul Simon or Al Stewart. No foul or harm, but there it is (for another discussion on another day).

I wonder who came up with these optics. Between Bob's shirt and where he is sitting, it looks like he's speaking from a nursing home. 😂

Imagine some of that white stuff on her tanned face?
