Last year Joan Baez released a documentary, "I Am a Noise", that teases a deep dive into secrets buried within unpublicized writings and recordings. [...] As Baez emerged as a folk queen in the early 1960s, she followed her conscience by marching for civil rights, desegregating concert venues, and committing herself to non-violence in opposition to any war. [...] The so-called “Queen of Folk” is clearly a significant political force around the world, and in this time of recurring despair and small victories she remains relevant as a gallant siren, not a “noise,” as this latest documentary has it. The Quaker Maiden continues to warn us of danger and call us to action.
