"Folk Singer Supports Anti-War Protesters"
Note to AP, more than one was there. (This is written by the same woman who did the "Patriotic camp" article about Qualls.)

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Joan Baez was against the Vietnam War and she showed it - appearing at marches, once even blocking the entrance of a military induction center.

The folk singer is against the Iraq war, too, and she showed her support Sunday to protesters camping out near President Bush's ranch.

Baez took to the stage for about 500 people on an acre lot offered by a landowner who opposes the war, performing such classic peace anthems as "Song of Peace,""Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot."

Not far way is the camp started by Cindy Seehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq.
