As more people discover the wonderful Joan Baez, I’m providing a mini guide on what to read/watch when learning about her. A thread.

Joan Baez, 1965.

@ritagayworths well now i’m curious

started watching a movie i thought i would like and it’s bad…

@rayfp This is huge for me

Bruce and Rosanne singing Woody Guthrie’s “Deportee” tonight like Bob and Joan did on Rolling Thunder 1976

@livcshu we’re not even mutuals but rid of me ??? i don’t even think it’s a terribly popular album as-is but it is one of my favorites

albums everyone loves but i hated…

@v4mpbaez and wrong year.

@v4mpbaez I will note, a lot of these pictures are mislabled on Getty and Alamy, so you have to be careful whenever you look for certain pictures. The ones I linked above are always mislabled as 1967 and credited to other photographers, but Getty Images had the right photographer -

these being two different coats and i want both of them

@DylanRevisited ASOBD is easily one of my favorite albums. I’m surprised it’s not more popular these days. Hopefully it prevails!

Another Side of Bob Dylan is currently languishing in fourth place in Group A. Will you help save it from facing elimination from the #BobDylanWorldCup? x.com/DylanRevisited…

@v4mpbaez It’s actually from the same day of the photoshoot I linked below! :-) I think there might be more pictures of the coat on the 2nd picture, too. She loved that one in 1966-67.

@silksofbohemia i never realized it was the same one! she has such a lovely sense of style

@v4mpbaez Here are a few more pictures/HD pictures of that first blazer. It’s corduroy as well, and I’m about 95% sure she rewore it a few times. It’s beautiful! x.com/i/status/19716…

@ReverendRunt I’ve always felt that blue looks amazing on her, especially that turquoise shade. It flatters her skintone so well. She looks so radiant!

@DavidAyer @rayfp I’m not dubious of them, I’m just surprised. I wasn’t really keeping up with his setlists last year, though I heard he brought back a lot of crowd favorites last summer. I’m happy he’s performing them, it’s just unfortunate I won’t be there to hear them

@silksofbohemia @rayfp Those are the ones you're dubious of?

A photo of tonight’s stage setlist just leaked! Similar to last summer’s tour with a couple changes

@_Useless_Tree_ I understand what you’re hinting at here, but I still disagree that this is what Joan wanted or was aiming at. The explanation is here in these interviews and in so many others where she discusses this film. She is a victim, yes, but that’s not all she is.

@silksofbohemia There is no trend? You are in denial.

A deep dive into ‘Joan Baez: I Am a Noise’ (2023) & what to know before watching it. A thread.

@_Useless_Tree_ Because she found this footage, unearthed these memories, and felt like it was time to reveal her truth and speak about her life in her own words with a new documentary. Because she can do that after so many years.

@_Useless_Tree_ Why did she do it? Simply because she felt like offering fans an insight on who she truly is as a person—not a myth, not a saint, but a person. This is something I note in this thread. She wanted to, yes, but that’s the reason for it and it is an answer.
