RIP, thanks for your work
I believe he wrote the song, "Why me Lord". Good song.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge...
He sang it too.
RIP Sir……. Thanks for some great tunes….
RIP
Thank you for the entertaining over the years
He was a gifted song writer. His life story is most interesting!
He was my kind of country music enjoyment and I always considered myself a rock and roller.
May he RIP
R.I.P.
A great movie star and song writer. A Rhodes Scholar, he played football at Pomona College. A Warrant Officer flying choppers in Germany in 1963. He had a job lined up as an English Professor at West Point, what a cushy life he had lined up.
He threw it all away to move to Nashville to get into country music. He got a part time job as a janitor at a music studio, and once a week, drove to New Orleans, and spent 3 days ferrying workers to oil derricks in the Gulf. That flight is long and boring, and while flying that chopper he wrote Me and Bobby McGee.
Rest in Peace, Kris Kristofferson.
RIP, I enjoyed your work.
Another of the good ones gone, RIP Kris.
He was an artist for sure.
RIP
Thank You for sharing your talent with us
