Yeah, that was the name of it, Stilly. "One Tin Soldier". Godawful piece of pretentious psudeo-peace movement self-righteous crap! It came from the soundtrack of the movie "Billy Jack" by Tom Laughlin, and the movie is godawful too...but it was the most successful independently financed film in American history. It was perfect for the militant mood of a lot of young long-haired people in 1973 (I think that was the year). The film was intense and terribly earnest, but also dreadfully overstated in its preachy presentation of "absolute good" (ass-kicking Indian martial arts hero and saintly nonviolent counterculture kids) vs "absolute evil" (rednecks, straights, cops, people in suits and short hair, the media, the military, the government, the middle class, the Man).

Curiously enough, I spent a good deal of time at Rolling Thunder's Camp near Carlin, Nevada in the 70's. It was a sort of hippy/American Indian commune, and it had been partially funded by Tom Laughlin and other pals of Rolling Thunder (John Pope). RT was an interesting character. I never did meet Tom Laughlin, but there was a truck there that he had donated to the camp when I was there, and it had his famous Billy Jack hat logo on the doors.

I have a friend who still plays "One Tin Soldier". I cringe inside when I hear it, but she doesn't know that.
