Happy Birthday, Buffy Sainte-Marie
Buffy Sainte-Marie turns 83 years old today. On August 3, 2023, Saint-Marie issued a statement announcing her retirement from live performances, due to health concerns.

It is a very depressing thought. You have another coffee & I'll have another tea. We are at war not just with guns, bombs, but war of words; freedom is under seize. Buffy has been in the news a lot lately with that latest investigative report on her origin claims.
ReplyDelete...Universal Soldier is an all time favorite.
ReplyDeleteCanadians and Indigenous people are not thrilled with this woman. She lied about being indigenous, and milked the system for fame and fortune. A 2023 investigation by CBC News concluded that she was born in the United States and is of Italian and English descent. Isn't that crazy?
ReplyDeleteIt's troubling. There's a whole section about it in her Wikipedia entry. I'm not sure why some of the indigenous people support her in this.
DeleteFabulous music and a cup of coffee (decaf for me ☕) sounds perfect right now. Loving that blue mug, the shape is so interesting 😊. Take care and wishing you a very Happy T Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteOh yes, things hae not changed, just the weapons get worse and worse. Have a happy T day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteShe made an impact. An amazing woman.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I haven't thought of her in years. A great song and video. It's amazing that youngsters are not taught what happened then, and that songs had real meaning.
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
You're right about some things never changing. Enjoy that cup of coffee too. I hope you had a super T day Nita.
ReplyDelete"Not the way to put an end to war." Buffy had it right. I agree this is depressing, but on a better note, you have a new grandchild to hold and cuddle.
ReplyDeleteNice set-up of your pour coffee. That is a beautiful mug. Thanks for joining us for T this Tuesday, dear Nita.
OMG! I had forgotten that song. Heard it during Vietnam War---and things haven't changed. It still can bring tears to my eyes. Happy birthday to Buffy Sainte-Marie. I wish things were different now than when she was singing it back then.
