Joan Baez was part of the white political conscience in the civil rights movement supporting Dr. Martin Luther King. Maybe it was wrong, that she put so much energy into Bob Dylan. He was not loyal to her or to a political concept, even not continuously loyal to an unplugged acoustic guitar style. He liked surrealism – and that means the maniac escape from everything. He was selfish, robbed some songs (The House of the Rising Sun), utilized fully the people around him: But nevertheless, the film document “NO DIRECTION HOME” by Martin Scorsese (2005) featured him unforgettable cool. Maybe cooler than John Lennon or Alan Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti or Andy Warhol and all the others, who crossed his path to the top of fame. He was adorable strong with his capability to ignore press or pop music fans. And he gives me hope and optimism: that my own fingerstyle blues guitar is not the worst method to treat a guitar.

  3. We are social being, and think about all sort of things to communicate, in the most apropriate way, for the ocasion, who we are and what we feel, at the time of a comunication. But no matter what the new means, what missing is the shared space, in which people talk to each other, and the air they breath. So we need to undertand that, and live, and live and live and live again.
