    He used Baez (and an ailing Woody Guthrie) to get a leg-up in the Folk Music community - and then Dylan caught the wave of electric Pop Rock music that the Beatles and the British Music Invasion helped bring about in 1965 (and so long to Pete Seeger, who also helped Dylan). I don't deny that Bob Dylan created some truly remarkable and moving songs that helped define an Era; but in his personal life, he had feet of clay -as we all do, I suppose- and when all's said and done, I mostly like to hear his early folk-inspired work that Joan Baez helped to 'midwife.'

    There was never any chance they would stay together, or even have anything like an equal relationship when they were a couple.
    They were fundamentally different. For Bob, the important things were career and his music; he wasn't particularly interested in politics, even back then. He later said that he started writing protest songs in Greenwich Village in the early 60s simply "because that's what people wanted to hear back then", and he wanted to hone his craft and make a name for himself.
    Joan on the other hand, was seriously interested in and motivated by politics. Whereas Bob initially used political songs to get famous, Joan used her fame to communicate political messages; Bob was an artist, Joan a platform for her beliefs. She believed in "the cause" in itself, whereas Bob didn't. She was a group person; Bob the ultimate individualist.
    Joan stayed in politics and protest, but Bob quickly grew impatient with all that stuff, resented the confines of having to remain with a particular set of beliefs; he wanted to move on to greater freedom, to more expressive things in music to exploit the full creativity he knew was inside him.
    There are inevitably victims along the road to individual greatness. It was no doubt a dark day for Joan, but their separation was a new dawn for the world.

      你可以這樣描述Dylan的,很多書都是這樣寫他的故事;的而且確,Joan熱衷於政治,而Bob只想做個歌手及詩人,甚至是搖滾樂的啟蒙詩人歌手,所以他們分手是意料中事。不過,Joan寫了首Diamond And Rust真是情感真摰的作品,為她的感情作了註釋,明白了她的感受。

    And what about her husband. In 1968, Baez married the activist David Harris; had a son, Gabriel, in 1969, while Harris was serving twenty months in federal prison for refusing to report for military duty. They divorced in 1973. I vividly remember her mentioning him at every concert she gave during that time and then some stuff afterward about being a lesbian after they had divorced. True, not true? I don't know but I think they may have both ridden coattails in their time. At least Bob is more private about his past. (At least as far as I know.) Bob had Patti Smith accept that prize for him. I take this video with a grain of salt.

    I love what Joan gave me through her music; my mom had her first two albums. I now know 1,000 songs, half from before I was born. Her personal story is human and sweet, but her service in keeping music from the past alive is her greatest legacy; no one can shade that. Even the fact she ultimately, aesthetically, had a more operatic voice than folk: her peculiar genius.

    Well 2 things for a start: I could win a Dylan lookalike competition and I don’t know much about Baez’ writing. But: she knocks him out of the park in both singing and looks. Listen to The night they drove old Dixie down if you need convincing of her voice. But Dylan is a master songwriter, fully deserving of his Nobel prize and every other award. I didn’t know that their relationship was so brief. Quite sad that. I would venture to suggest that she was too independent (strong-willed, call it what you will) for Dylan’s liking though, this CAN happen. It’s about getting on together on simple, day-to-day matters in addition to respect and admiration etc., ie it has to WORK. Anyone agree?

      I saw Bob Dylan in 1970 with the Band in Chicago and I only really recall the lighters we all lit to signify the moment. and then in Vancouver in about 2005 during which his music and the words were unintelligible. He was a gift to our consciousness but probably, as is said in the song, legends..not easy to be with at home. She was a musical genius who also as has been noted, did it for the cause, while Bob did it for the fame..and he is still doing it.

      So you're referring to early 1990. Dylan has tried to stay in the vanguard of his chosen art forms, and post-modern was in vogue (Pinchon, DFW, etc.) in literature, painting & music at the time, which also led to deconstruction of art forms.
      I've heard it said (not my idea) that Dylan's musical delivery at the time was his attempt to interpret his earlier/ popular works in a contemporary, deconstructed context. It's just a thought, a mere possibility 🤔...

    Joan was an early supporter of Bob. She was a good performer, but she was not the creative force and songwriter, superstar that Bob became. How could she expect equal billing and to be guaranteed duets together. Professional competition or jealousy, on her part. Bob too can be ungracious about others artists songs, denigrating , Youngs Heart of Gold, and Lennons Norwegian Wood as imitating his style, that seems petty jealousy.

    It is high time she gave it a rest. All she has achieved from this, in nearly 60 years now, is to publicly categorise her career as an adjunct to his! I think Joan Baez is worth a lot more than that. Maybe if she stops talking endlessly about Dylan and ancient history, she will too.

    First, Bob was a chronic womanizer, never been faithful to any one woman his whole life, especially not to his 2 wives!
    Secondly, Joan was humiliating Bob publicly; announcing any mistakes he made. And she did the pursuing in that relationship. That duty belongs to the man, not the woman. Bob liked large-breasted women and Joan was not.

    Dylan moved on and up. Baez just stayed in her rut, or some say comfort zone. She just needs to fade away.
