Powerful song. Richard can you and your followers direct to where reliable information can be read, what sources can we read knowing there is no bias or at least material that we know has been well researched.
I can’t for sure
We all have to doubt everything and hope
What about byline times?
What about it?
I admit nto not givng it much attemtion right now: it seems stuck in a world of ‘isms’ to me.
Always loved this Donovan song. The words are brilliant and poignant. More so nowadays. Another anti war song that will always bring a tear to the eye is The Green fields of France. It’s a pity we haven’t learned from them.
When will we ever learn? As Marline Dietrich sang.
Is the song Universal Soldier not written by Buffy St.Marie? Donovan did have a hit with it the 60s.
Yes the original was written and performed by Buffy St. Marie. Donavan had a hit with it in the 60’s but First Kit’s is my favourite version. They are a couple of Swedish girls. This video is now more than 15 years old. How time flies!
Thanks, again.
It’s wothwhile doing a search for both Buffy St Marie and Joan Baez. Both can produce a tear!
Thanks
WRT where to find information. I’ve got hooked on The Meidas Touch on YouTube. Some of their videos are short (around 15 minutes) they also do longer ones, but mostly I don’t have the energy to watch such a long video. They are 3 American brothers, who don’t think much of Trump’s ideas and loathe Musk.
