00:16 - I don't think anybody at a young age who gets famous
00:22 has the slightest idea that it'll never end.
00:24 I've always said I wouldn't want to do a farewell tour
00:28 because people who say that always come back.
00:30 Maybe it'd be nice to celebrate 55 years of it.
00:33 - Here she is, ma'am, Miss Joan Baez.
00:36 - I was the right voice at the right time.
00:39 It just shot me in another whole stratosphere.
00:41 - What does fame mean to you?
00:43 - What fame actually is, I don't really know
00:45 'cause I don't consider myself famous.
00:47 I think there's a difference in being well-known
00:49 and being famous.
00:50 (dramatic music)
00:52 - If I could write my entire history,
00:55 whether it has anything to do with facts,
00:57 nobody will ever know 'cause we remember
00:59 what we want to remember.

01:17 Nonviolent action was what I was born for.
01:19 I knew that I belonged there.

01:28 I was just there riding the wave with him.
01:31 I think Dylan broke my heart 'cause it was so shattering.
01:34 That, I admit.
01:36 (laughs)
01:38 And I was really addicted to the activism.
01:40 There was no way I could have been intimate.
01:42 And I didn't know that yet.
01:43 I'm not very good at one-on-one relationships.
01:46 I'm great with one-on-two thousand.
