Buffy on 'Democracy Now!'

There's a great interview with Buffy Sainte-Marie on the 'Democracy Now!' website broadcast on Colombus Day in America (12 October). Buffy's looking good in her sparkly jacket and speaking candidly, including saying 'no' to singing 'Now That The Buffalo's Gone'.

It's a very candid interview and Buffy is obviously comfortable and happy, talking about past and present, talking about the background to some songs, like 'Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee' and how Elvis's people wanted some of the royalties when he recorded 'Until It's Time Fot You To Go'.

Considering it's an hour-long programme, it whizzes past very quickly. The first 20 minutes are scene-setting and Buffy starts speaking at 23 mins. Take a look and learn something - I did.
