Circus Complete - Joan Baez Plays Woodstock Crawford
If any further proof is needed that this is not about grieving mother Cindy Sheehan, here it is...
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Malodorous Birkenstock clad Iraq war protesters camping out near President Bush's ranch are rapidly descending into form getting support from a prominent figure in the anti-Vietnam war movement: folk singer Joan Baez.
Who exhumed her?
"In the first march I went to (opposing Vietnam) there were 10 of us. This is huge," Baez told relatives of fallen U.S. soldiers Sunday as she prepared to perform a free evening concert in Bush's adopted hometown.
Since most of her supporters don't appear to have jobs, this makes sense...
The concert was expected to draw more than 1,000 people to a 1-acre lot offered by a landowner who opposes the war. Not far away, protesters continued a camp-out started by grieving mother Cindy Sheehan.
A miniature Woodstock - too bad it didn't rain as in the original.
Meanwhile, more Bush supporters arrived at a downtown pro-Bush camp. As of Sunday afternoon, more than 150 people had visited the large tent with "God Bless Our President!" and "God Bless Our Troops" banners and a life-size cardboard cutout of Bush.
Heh. More (as in not much more) at the link.
