Indigo Girls - Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee 1996 Letterman

[primarybs]

Ahhhh Amy.....always breaking guitar strings. I feel ya girl. I almost killed my dog breaking a low e. Love this performance!!! Dave always liked the IG's.

[BornOfRandom]

Calm down people, just listen to the music

[rabblevox1]

despite the ugly commentary below, this is an incandescent song that speaks to everyone.

[elinheartstristin]

wow that was AMAZING!

[elinheartstristin]

cool cover!!

[chrisbannisterone]

Even Buffy herself would agree this is a brilliant version of this song, it really rocks!

[MisterBlue24]

These lesbians butchered the hell out of this song and the deep meaning behind it.

[moodinator123]

what meaning...this song is full of lies

[spiderorchid81]

@MisterBlue24 And how is living in the stone age nowadays?

Seriously, if you can't overcome your stupid prejudices, you shouldn't watch an Indigo Girls video.

And how is this version so different from the original anyway? It's a song. Sung by singers who are famous for their activism. I'd say it's apropriate...

[MisterBlue24]

@spiderorchid81 What prejudices??? They are lesbians, dumbass, so I didn't say anything prejudiced at all. Grow up and act your age! Secondly, instead of making rude comments to people, maybe you should take the time to brush up on your poor grammar skills.

[spiderorchid81]

@MisterBlue24 I rest my case...

some people are beyond help.

[thirteendays13]

@MisterBlue24 The reason why people have a problem with you pointing out their sexual orientation is because it is simply not germane to anything. Why not also mention that they are white, Americans, young, etc, etc. The fact that you chose to focus on something that has a lot of discrimination towards it, and adds nothing to your point, really forces people to ask why you would even bring it up.

[MisterBlue24]

@thirteendays13 Shut the fuck up and stop trying to turn this into something it's not. Cunt.

[thirteendays13]

@MisterBlue24 I wasn't attacking you, I was just pointing out that the usage of a particular word did not add value to your message, and caused some concern. I am sorry you felt the need to cross a few lines into the realm of in-decorum over a comment based entirely on semantics. Although, for the record I don't mind being called a cunt, as they are very pleasurable organs. So I can only aspire to be so pleasing as you have described me.

[MisterBlue24]

@thirteendays13 You weren't attacking me??? Oh really? So that's why you felt the need to comment on something from almost a year ago?? Who the hell does that? You're either bored with yourself or a troll. If you're that bored with yourself, go and blog because no one cares what you have to say here. Either way, you bore me now. Oh yeah, stop trying to come off all superior and highly educated. You probably don't even have one tenth of my education.

[TherapyFromStrangers]

great song! - Therapy From Strangers.

[moodinator123]

this song stinks. this group stinks.

[SaskiaCornell]

Why do you say that? This song was written by the great Buffy Sainte-Marie, and the Indigo Girls are absolutely awesome as is Buffy. Your statement is really very stupid and you obviously have no idea why the song is about - do you?

Saskia

[moodinator123]

I say it cause it's true. This song is full of lies and ani-white attacks. I know exactly what it is about, do you?

[SaskiaCornell]

@moodinator123 You obviously didn't study native American/Canadian/aboriginal history did you? otherwise you wouldn't be asking me what the song is about! and BTW you are incorrect.

Saskia

[moodinator123]

1-i didn't ask you what it is about.

2- i am not incorrect, you are. the song is full of lies. and yes i know the history ergo i know it is all lies. nice try, but you fail.

[SaskiaCornell]

Hello - 1. you did ask me what the song is about - you stated "I know exactly what it is about, do you? - you are asking ME a question!

2. I am incorrect? The song was written by Buffy Sainte-Marie and Buffy and the Indigo Girls are awesome.....and there is no way that Buffy would write a song that is "full of lies". Fascinating how you think you know the history, oh and I didn't realise this was test - I failed? oh dear......happy new year too you.

[moodinator123]

well buffy did write a song full of lies. i have fact checked the lyrics and they are almost all lies....therefore she wrote a song full of lies. sorry that logic is new to you.

[SaskiaCornell]

As Buffy sings "he's working for the government", she must be referring to you. Perhaps you should contact Buffy and tell her she's got it all wrong!!!!!!

Saskia

[moodinator123]

as she sings about her friend annie mae, she lies about the entire story. do you need me to tell you why?

[SaskiaCornell]

Have you got nothing better to do???? Why don't you go and play in the middle of a highway or somewhere else that you might find exciting. Annie Mae, now who hasn't got a friend called Annie Mae, in fact Tina Turner's real name is Anna Mae although depending on where your read about her sometimes she is referred to as Annie Mae...would you like to start talking about Tina Turner now? Now go away you are boring me.....oh and do have a happy new year.

[moodinator123]

are you really this stupid? Annie mae was real. She was actually killed by friends of Leonar Peletier and acquaintances of Russel Means. The FBI cut off her hands to identify her with files in DC. Wanna know why she was killed? She heard Leonard Peletier admit to the killing of those 2 FBI agents...UH-OH, he WAS NOT wrongly convicted. And Annie Mae was killed BY INDIANS !!!!

P.S. that makes this song full of lies BTW.

[SaskiaCornell]

What part of "go away YOU are boring me" didn't you understand?

[moodinator123]

so basically you give up beacuase you know i just whupped your butt in this little "debate". Sorry to have crushed your emotional rants with facts.

[SaskiaCornell]

No - I'm just fed up with your, in your own words, "emotional rants".....listen to the sounds of silence................

[vogelpech]

what a crap! goodness, what a fucking crap!!!

[moodinator123]

huh? wish to make an intelligible statement?

[moodinator123]

indians killed annie mae to keep her from telling the truth about Pelletier the murderer.

[moodinator123]

you are from australia, you have no possible perspective on this matter. LOL.

[SaskiaCornell]

Very good, yes I am from Australia - you pass. As for not having a "possible perspective" you fail, you have no idea what I have studied......enjoy your LOL.

[hit004541]

God they suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imnotsure556]

why say something like that? u seriously don't know good music....

[JustLikeIcarus]

kickass. never seen this one live, thanks for posting :)

[annalissac]

I remember this performance (I had it on tape too). You really can't see it in this version, but Amy breaks 2 guitar strings: one at 1:19 and the other at 2:46

[elfielvr]

Kudos to them for covering this!! Brilliant!!

[tinustijger]

Wow! The glasses and the hair, Emily looks so different!

[flipflopjulie]

Wow... Emily with short hair. :-) And Amy looks so cute in this video!

[IGFanAlways]

Holy cow... I've never seen Emily look so butch. She makes Amy look kind of girly :) Damn they look good!!! I think this might be my favorite of favorites.

[citbmitww]

[JaneDoe71]

Had to look again - see it says 1996, so I got my answer. I still can't get over Emily in those John Lennon glasses!

[JaneDoe71]

I've been a fan (from Atlanta) since before IG hit the big time, and I don't ever remember Emily having short hair. And she looks great in those glasses! Fantastic song, too - thanks for posting.

[Slapnuts6931]
