Herlig. Er stor fan av Buffy Sainte-Marie, og har vel en 10-12 utgivelser i hylla. Fikk omsider gleden av å oppleve henne på scenen i fjor sommer på Wrightegaarden i Langesund. En riktig så fin kveld.
I tillegg til egen karriere har hennes låter blitt spillt inn av en rekke andre artister som Joe Cocker og Elvis Presley.
For å gå tilbake til tråden. Denne teksten fra 1964 passer ganske fint inn i tredje kategori:
Universal Soldier:
He's five feet two and he's six feet four He fights with missiles and with spears He's all of 31 and he's only 17 He's been a soldier for a thousand years
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain, a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew and he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will kill you for me my friend and me for you
And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France, he's fighting for the USA, and he's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan, and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
And he's fighting for Democracy and fighting for the Reds He says it's for the peace of all He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die and he never sees the writing on the walls
But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau Without him Caesar would have stood alone He's the one who gives his body as a weapon to a war and without him all this killing can't go on
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame His orders come from far away no more They come from him, and you, and me and brothers can't you see this is not the way we put an end to war.

Flott tekst og melodi! (Den ble forresten forbudt i USA da den kom ut!)
Jøss, det visste jeg ikke.
Låta var vel en stor hit for Donavan også?
