Politics still important to Baez United Press Internationa] BEVERLY HILLS —Joan Baez has mellowed over the years, but she has not changed. Her voice still is clear and beautiful, and her politics are consuming. To ask Miss Baez about only her music or only her politics — one without the other — is incomplete. Both are very much a part of her life. But she would rather discuss politics than music. “I’m a terribly political human being,” she says. She finds political activisim can be very tiring, but says “I’d rather be tired than bored.” Her latest campaign is to “educate the public that there are severe human rights violations going on in Vietnam.” “This is the leper case of the year,” she says. “But I felt compelled to do something, partly because I knew no one else was going to.” Though her political beliefs are as strong now as they were 10 years ago, age and motherhood (she has a son, Gabriel, 9) have made her “a lot less strident and hopefully more willing to listen than I was.” “I don’t regret having been what I was,” she said.
