R.I.P. Kris
« on: September 29, 2024, 06:32:49 PM »
Kris Krisofferson has passed at 88.   A wonderful songwriter, singer, and a decent actor.   Here’s some of my favorite versions of his tunes.


Bill, tgo

One of my heroes since I saw Cisco Pike at the Maple Drive-In in Zanesville, summer of '71.
Not in the first tier of American songwriters (because the first tier is just Robert Hunter & Townes Van Zandt), but most definitely high up in the second tier.  An American Treasure, for sure.

We will never see his like again, and now his watch has ended.

Kris did things in his life that were rather Fred Rogers-ish.   I admire that.   Warm wishes to his family and friends.
