Universal Soldier was released in We have to blame ourselves too since we are living in an era where we actually elect our politicians. His name was written above the poem in Morse Code. Art Beltrone first stumbled on them in while working with the set designer on the movie, The Thin Red Line. They agreed, and since the first discovery Art and his wife, Lee, who is a photographer, have repeatedly visited the ship, the General Nelson M. The Beltrones removed not just the graffiti-inscribed canvases, but other artifacts as well, and were able to interest almost a dozen museums around the country to accept and curate the objects, so they could be preserved for future generations.
The Beltrones delivered four graffiti-covered canvases to the museum, along with a complete three-tier bunk, and other material. Smithsonian Magazine became interested in the delivered canvases, and featured one in their October, issue.
One part of the canvas features a Morse code message, and at the other end, two long lines, that are quite meaningful today. Art Beltrone was able to learn the identity of the soldier who inscribed both. His name was Robert Simpson, and he lived in Plainwell, Michigan. He had been drafted in at the age of The Beltrones never got to interview him, however, as he was killed in an ultra-light plane crash in But not a good number of Smithsonian readers.
But it seems someone at the magazine connected with the story, missed the apparent connection. Smithsonian Magazine said that they have never had such a huge reaction to any other story in the history of the magazine. They sent several packages of mail to Buffy. Buffy was touched by many of the letters, whose writers — soldiers as well as civilians — said that Universal Soldier had changed their lives. In Buffy Sainte-Marie sang at an outdoor rally hosted by Veterans for Peace, Code Pink, Veterans Against the War in Iraq and many other groups protesting policies of the Bush administration, singing Universal Soldier across the street from the Smithsonian, where she had a concert and speaking engagement later that day.
She also read her poem The War Racket. Money is power. It can be improved. It can be changed. But first, we need to recognize it for what it is, an archetypal human problem that will recur.
Others have taken her to task in concert or on public television, demanding that she answer for her views. She says the song just popped into her head and she honed it like she would have any thesis——ensuring the facts were correct so that she could clearly put forward an idea that might help a lot of people to think about things a little differently.
Sainte-Marie says it starts in the home. That sounds like a very long-range plan but I think it plays a real part. The whole thing of bullying within the family and within the community is really what gives the green light to the bigger bullies of the world.
People think the pecking order is human nature but I contend that is incorrect. War and peace are choices we make. Recommended for you.
