"bright are the stars that shine.....Dark is the sky.
i know this love of mine.....will never die"
-'and i love her'-The Beatles.
i found love. it was always on the cards i suppose,
ofcourse i was drunk when it happened, how else can a guy like me even come close to finding love?.
she sang to me in the most beautiful,flowing clear voice that i've ever heard. i stared at her face in profile, her delicate features mesmerised me. i listened spellbound for an hour or so. the exact moment when i knew i was in love with her was when she sang the chorus to Dylan's classic 'Forever young'- 'May you stay forever young'…. i will.
love of my life, every time i listen to you sing that line i forget all my worries. this is what the poets wrote about, this is what men have died for. she also sang lennon's 'imagine' - 'you may say i'm a dreamer but i'm not the only one'. yes, love, i hope some day to join you, for what a pity it is that we should have been born two generations apart. Joan C. Baez......will there ever be another woman like you?
excerpted from 'Diamonds and Rust' by Joan Baez:
well you burst on the scene
already a legend
the unwashed phenomenon
the original vagabond
you strayed into my arms
and there you stayed
temporarily lost at sea
the Madonna was yours for free
yes the girl on the half-shell
would keep you unharmed
a note to non-existent female readers: i can never love any woman stronger than i love Joan Baez, with the possible exception of Uma Thurman in 'Kill Bill'.
