Joan Baez, the greatest hispanic folk singer of all time, cleared up one misconception: "You don't have to be black to sing the blues, " she wrote years ago. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span class="caption"></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/394748_269523843102242_100001338858387_692007_294845287_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" class="photo_img img" src="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/394748_269523843102242_100001338858387_692007_294845287_n.jpg" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div>Another misconception is that you have to go down Highway 61 in Mississippi to where it intersects with Highway 49, but that's a lie. There is just as devilish a crossroad where the Eddie Lucio, Jr. Highway crosses Paredes Line Road with a 68 cent overpass. Most of us avoid the demons by taking the free access road. </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4696772328771334084-5779347276018897694?l=meanmisterbrownsville.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
