Joan Baez – Diamonds And Rust
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Ol’ Joan … *sigh*
My dad is the only person I knew whose eyes actually were “bluer than robin’s eggs.” But he never told me my poetry was lousy!! He sure didn’t think much of Joan, but I always liked this song quite a lot! And beyond politics, I admire any person with the guts to write a song and perform it in front of a crowd. Good post.
Oops … make that “robins’ eggs.” Dad didn’t hang with anyone named Robin that I know of, let alone one with bright blue eggs.
This song is what every song by Taylor Swift tries to be. I wonder if she will cover it some day.
