Joan Baez 97th Birthday and Killing Jamaicans

Congratulations to "Big Joan", Joan Baez' Mom.
Statistically, this means we will probably have the iconic Joan Baez for many more years!

For those who don't know, Joan Baez was one of the leading voices of the sixties counter cultural movement, and a singer with an incredible, powerful voice.
She was once Bob Dylan's girlfriend, to both of their benefits, musically.





In unrelated news, lots of Jamaicans being killed in the island nation.
The conflict, which prompted the government to declare a state of emergency over the weekend, pits supporters of Christopher Coke, wanted in the United States on gun and drug charges, against the government of Prime Minister Bruce Golding, who has relied on Mr. Coke’s influence to win votes in the west Kingston neighborhood that both men share.


According to news reports 30 supporters of Mr. Coke have been killed.
They are described as gunmen.
Makes it more palatable to kill them.
