Austin media in the know report that the god-mother of folk will indeed be fanning the flames this weekend. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Baez.

This scheduled appearance apparently contradicts Ms. Sheehan's request that the vigil be attended only by those who have lost a loved one in the war.

I think that's wonderful. I would love to see coverage of this.

"In the first march I went to (opposing Vietnam) there were 10 of us. This is huge," Baez told relatives of fallen U.S. soldiers Sunday before performing a free concert just up the road from the ranch.

I'm not sure whether this aligns with Cindy Sheehan's origianal standards but she is getting a wider group of people to pay attention to her.
