Joan Baez spent Friday eve-
ning at Crisler evoking bitter-
sweet melancholy in her songsI
about love and other related
subjects, pausing only to evokeI
depression with comments
about political repression in theI
Latin American countries she's
just finished touring.
Clad in red and white, Baez
seren'aded her 3,200-odd specta-
tors at Crisler in a voice that
has not lost its purity of the old
days. Lyric-wise, it was bas-
ically a blue evening. There
was a range from cynicism to
> r sadness in her renderings of
such songs of her own as "Love
Song to a Stranger" (Parts one
and two), and in her covering
f such songs as Kris Kristoffer-
son's "Help Me Make itt
Through the Night" and Dy-1
ian's "Love is Just a Four Let-
j ter Word".

Baez noted, "After someone has
been tortured, there's a look inI
their eyes which never goes
away."
Baez emphasized her feeling
that violence is not a justified
tool for political change. She
remarked that the majority of
