Joan will look exactly like this at the show. Bob Dylan not included. I'm not going to lie to you good people. I'm mostly posting this concert announcement so I can quote 30 Rock's great line about a Jerry Garcia stamp: "If I wanted to lick a hippie, I would return Joan Baez's phone calls." Zing! Oh [...]
