Today's Idiot: Joan Baez
2010-11-19
1960s songbird Joan Baez is "resting comfortably" at an undisclosed location on the ground after falling 20 feet to the ground from a treehouse - a treehouse she purposely had built without walls because she wanted to sleep among real birds at her Woodside, Calif., home.
real, not fake, birds, mind you
The 69-year-old Baez was climbing down from the platform Wednesday when she plunged to the ground.
like a sack of wet cement

help! I've fallen and I can't get up

#8  Nancy Lutzow runs Baez's production company and tells the Mercury News that Baez was resting Thursday at a secure location.

Why? Are they afraid the birds are gonna try to come back and finish her off?

#5  If she'd eat one of those birds once in a while, instead of just eating the bird seed with them, she might get some protein and have enough muscle to climb up and down the occasional ladder.

#4  Maybe she can quit dreamin' she saw Joe Hill last night and actually go to Hell to be with him...

#3  Why pick her up and take her to the hospital? Buzzards are birds too.

As she fell, was she blowin' in the wind?

#1  How could it be built without the OSHA-required handrails?

Of course, I would've built it with a low wall, to keep me from rolling off. But she fell from a ladder, or whatever sort of green vertical tranportation device she was using.
