Farewell Angelina, Joan Baez
#commissionearned
I first heard this voice my freshman year in college. I was there two weeks early with the rest of the new class, and the library had a media room full of vinyl records, record players, and nobody else at all. …Ah, Joan. Bob was a bit of an idiot, wasn’t he? A bloody good poet, though.*

*Even if it’s a sort of a shame he knows it.
I dunno, Bob. Maybe you screwed this one up good and proper, my dude.
House of the Rising Sun, Joan Baez
