Cindy Sheehan's friend Joan Baez has a new CD and upcoming tour

Joan Baez, who I still can't fathom why some people view her as an important folk music artist, made some below-the-fold headlines for her appearance at Cindy Sheehan's Crawfordpalooza "festival" last month. She sang a few songs there.

Well, it turns out that this week Joan Baez released a new CD, and later this month she starts a concert tour.

Gee, I hate to be a cynical conservative, but do you think that Joan visited Crawfordpalooza to get her name splattered all over the media, so she can sell a few CDs and have more than a couple dozen tickets sold for her fall tour gigs?

For her "good work" in Crawford, Baez was recently awarded the coveted "Buffoon of the Week" honor by Ankle Biting Pundits.

If you have Quicktime on your computer, you can listen to samples of tracks from that new CD. Warning: Do not operate heavy machinery while the songs are playing.
