Of course we all know Daimonds And Rust, which I've probably listened to oh about 10,000 times and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, the cover of The Band's original. I also recently learned she has been a strong advocate for gay and lesbian rights over the years, which of course makes me love her even more. This is a true american icon that should be an example for all of us in that we should follow our convictions and stand up for what we believe in, no matter what that is.

I love Joan. What an icon. Diamonds and Rust, Hello in There, etc.... Brilliant.
