瓊·貝茲剛剛為美國首家100%免費的無家可歸者醫院揭幕——“這就是我想留下的反叛之歌。”

沒有盛大的儀式。

沒有彩帶。

只是清晨5點敞開大門。

85歲的瓊貝茲站在舊金山靜謐的黎明中，為貝茲恩典庇護所（Baez Refuge of Grace）揭幕。這是一棟擁有250個床位、完全免費的醫院，專為美國的無家可歸者而建，也是美國歷史上首家此類醫院。

癌症病房。

創傷手術室。

精神健康病房。

戒癮治療。

牙科診室。

樓上設有120套永久公寓。

一切永久免費。

在短短18個月內，瓊貝茲的個人基金會和那些懇求匿名的終身公益人士悄悄籌集了1.42億美元。第一位病人是一位名叫埃利亞斯的61歲海軍退伍老兵，他已經14年沒看過醫生了。

貝茲陪他走進醫院，握住他的手說：

「這家醫院以我的名字命名，因為我花了六十年時間為那些感覺被忽視的人們奔走呼籲。在這裡，沒有人會被忽視。如果我要留下什麼遺產，我希望是這個——不是民謠，不是歷史書……而是拯救的生命。”

到中午時分，隊伍已經排了六個街區。 #BaezRefuge（貝茲避難所）在短短八小時內就獲得了387億次的曝光量，成為史上傳播速度最快的公益話題。

從一代人的歌聲到默默無聞的奇蹟創造者，瓊·貝茲不僅建造了一家醫院，她還建造了希望——一張張免費床位，一個個溫暖著人們。美國的靈魂找到了新的歸宿。

JOAN BAEZ JUST OPENED AMERICA’S FIRST 100% FREE HOMELESS HOSPITAL – “THIS IS THE REBEL SONG I WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND.”

No fanfare.

No ribbon.

Just open doors at 5 a.m.

Joan Baez, 85, stood in the quiet San Francisco dawn and unlocked the Baez Refuge of Grace, a 250-bed, zero-cost hospital built exclusively for America’s homeless – the first of its kind in U.S. history.

Cancer wards.

Trauma ORs.

Mental health wings.

Addiction detox.

Dental suites.

120 permanent apartments on the upper floors.

Everything free, forever.

$142 million raised quietly over 18 months, all from Baez’s personal foundation and lifelong activists who begged to stay anonymous. First patient: a 61-year-old Navy veteran named Elias, who hadn’t seen a doctor in 14 years.

Baez walked beside him as he entered, took his hand, and said:

“This hospital carries my name because I’ve spent sixty years marching for those who felt invisible. Here, nobody is. If I’m going to leave a legacy, I want it to be this — not folk songs, not the history books… just lives saved.”

By noon, the line wrapped around six city blocks. #BaezRefuge detonated X with 38.7 billion impressions in eight hours – the fastest humanitarian trend ever.

From the voice of a generation to an unsung miracle-maker, Joan Baez didn’t just build a hospital. She built hope — one free bed at a time. America’s soul just found a new home.

瓊貝茲今天85歲了，作為一名表演者和活動家，她從業67年，至今依然活力四射！她最近寫道：「11月初，我和傑西·韋爾斯（Jesse Welles）在他的舊金山菲爾莫爾音樂廳演唱會上首次合作演唱了《No Kings》。幾週後，我們坐下來錄製了這首歌。現在，你可以在任何音樂平台收聽/購買這首歌。

我最近在接受《澳洲人報》採訪時分享了我對這次合作經驗和這首新歌的感受。 ‘我喜歡和年輕人一起唱歌，這首歌非常適合我的嗓音。這簡直是一種享受。這首歌很新鮮，他才33歲就能寫出這樣的歌，我從來沒聽過。我們需要一首能引起共鳴的歌曲，一首人人都能唱的歌。 ’”

Joan Baez turns 85 today and, after 67 years as a performer and activist, she's still on fire!

She recently wrote, "In early November, Jesse Welles and I first performed 'No Kings' together at his San Francisco Fillmore concert. A couple weeks later, we sat down and recorded it. It's now available wherever you listen/purchase your music.

I recently shared my thoughts about the experience and the new song in an interview with The Australian. 'I love singing with younger people, and that song is perfect for my voice. It was just a treat. It's fresh, and he's 33 and he's writing this stuff, and I haven't heard anything like that. What's needed is an anthem, something that everybody can sing.'"

瓊米切爾的偉大根源

舊金山現代藝術博物館的回顧展追溯了這位畫家的標誌性風格如何拓展了抽象表現主義的輪廓。

1948年，23歲的藝術家瓊·米切爾住在巴黎一間通風不良的公寓裡。二戰結束後，她來到了法國，而當時的國家仍飽受糧食短缺和暴動的困擾。米切爾剛從芝加哥藝術學院畢業，來到巴黎學習法國繪畫史，並學習大師們的技法，但她發現自己的工作狂精神崩潰，焦慮不安，無暇顧及這座城市熙熙攘攘的社交生活。她夜不能寐，焦灼地試圖提昇技藝，蜷縮在爐子旁取暖。




「我來到了我一直嚮往的地方——爐子旁——麵包、葡萄酒和畫布——我什至沒有感到沮喪——只是真正意識到了自己不屬於哪裡，而這無處不在。」 同年十月，她在給愛人巴尼·羅塞特的信中寫道。米切爾在巴黎的早期感到沮喪，覺得自己“畫得很糟糕”，這或許源於她覺得自己無法與她所欽佩的藝術巨匠們相提並論。青少年時期，米切爾在音樂、舞蹈、體育和藝術的薰陶下長大，並定期前往巴黎藝術學院欣賞塞尚、莫內和梵谷的19世紀傑作。

The Roots of Joan Mitchell’s Greatness

A retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art tracks how the painter’s signature style extended the contours of Abstract Expressionism.

Published Sept. 2, 2021Updated Sept. 3, 2021

In 1948, Joan Mitchell was a 23-year-old artist living in a drafty apartment in Paris. She had arrived in France in the aftermath of World War II to a nation that was still reeling from rations and riots. A newly minted graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mitchell had come to Paris to study the history of French painting and learn the techniques of the masters but found that her workaholism had frayed her nerves and rendered her too anxious to take part in the bustling social life of the city. Mitchell spent her nights awake, feverishly trying to improve her craft, huddling around her stove for warmth.

“I’m where I’ve always wanted to be — stove — bread & wine & canvases — I’m not depressed even — just arrived at a real knowledge of where I don’t belong which is everywhere,” she wrote in October of that year in a letter to her lover, Barney Rosset. Mitchell’s frustration during this early period in Paris, when she felt she had “painted terribly,” may have stemmed from her perceived failure to measure up to the artistic giants she so admired. As a teenager, she was raised on a steady regimen of music, dance, sports and art, with regular trips to the Art Institute to see 19th-century masterpieces by Cézanne, Monet and van Gogh.

Joan Baez

The Nobel Prize for Literature is yet another step towards immortality for Bob Dylan. The rebellious, reclusive, unpredictable artist/composer is exactly where the Nobel Prize for Literature needs to be.

His gift with words is unsurpassable. Out of my repertoire spanning 60 years, no songs have been more moving and worthy in their depth, darkness, fury, mystery, beauty, and humor than Bob’s. None has been more of a pleasure to sing. None will come again.

-Joan Baez
