Nothing wrong with good folk music. And Joan Baez in her prime had one of the great voices of the age. (She still has a first rate voice, but at the time she had a once-in-a-generation instrument.)
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hell, yeah. Her singing "Amazing Grace" acapella is incredible. Actually, her singing anything acapella is incredible.

Baez could have moved an audience to tears singing the phone book.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Actually, her singing anything acapella is incredible.
Clearly you've never watched The T.A.M.I. Show where her version of "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling" is unbelievably stiff and lacking in any R&B feel. She needs to stick to "Joe Hill."

Shouldn't it be "Lothlorien"?
Why, yes it should.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So you may have heard about the Chilean miners who are stuck .5 mile underground perhaps for 4 months. NYT has an article about how psychologists are concerned for their welfare and the kind of media they may watch:
“Movies are possible,” said Ximena Matas, a local city councilwoman. “But the psychologists will decide what movies they will see. It’s up to them if something like ‘Avatar’ would be too upsetting.”
I am above ground and I haven't seen Avatar, judging it too upsetting (but perhaps for different reasons that Matas might fear).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It is so stupid that I would only watch it again stuck in a trench.
This would be what we call a trenchant criticism.
