Talk:Joan Baez

Change main picture
I got to this page via a random click (via the Steve Jobs 'Think Different' page, if you must know). It seems to me that the idea that the most recent picture is the best one to use is a mistake if the person concerned is quite old, and one of the pictures of a younger Joan Baez should be used for the description box instead. --Brian Josephson (talk) 09:22, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree that a more recent photo is better for the lead, as is the case with many other bios. I have restored the 2016 photograph that was previously in the article. Although the 1973 photograph is good quality, I think this image is also good quality and should not have been removed, unless anyone disagrees with me about this. —Vigilant Cosmic Penguin (talk &#124; contribs) 03:49, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Why is there no mention of her extensive work with Caesar Chavez? 24.46.240.48 (talk) 14:01, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

I was surprised to see that this long article made no mention of Joan Baez' performance at the funeral march in honor of ORLANDO LETELIER in Washington D.C. in the fall of 1976. I attended this march along with several hundred others, and I remember that Joan Baez performed at Sheridan Circle, the site of the car-bombing that killed Letelier and his American associate, Ronni Moffitt on September 21 of that year. I don't know if this event can be documented by using contemporary sources like the Washington Post or the Washington Star (still functioning then), but I was there and I saw and heard her. 169.156.21.164 (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
