Joan Baez must have a record coming out soon and all the good causes were taken. It's the only explanation I can think of that makes any sense. Bono has Africa, Clooney has Darfur and Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's.

Nothing is left, so Baez is stuck in a tree, singing to save this garden. Not the tree, mind you. Just the garden. I'm not sure it's even her neighborhood. The pretension is pissing me off. Come on - if she really feels for the garden, why not buy the property herself? I'll tell you why - she needs to remind all those aging boomers what an activist, what a catalyst for change she is so they'll buy her godamn records again. Simply buying the garden and giving it to the city won't remind anyone of anything. She manipulative and pretensious and sneaky. If I had ten million dollars, I would buy the property and will it to the city myself, on the condition that it never be resold for development and neither Baez or any of her descendants could step foot on it.
