Kris Kristofferson

[Ulysses]

Has died at the age of 88.

 

A song here that contained at least a couple of the best single lines ever written.

What a life he lived. Rhodes Scholar, Vietnam vet, hippy songwriter, film star. And for the Irish the man who stepped up and consoled Sinead O’Connor when the tearing up of the pope’s picture scandal happened.

Okay, who had Willie Nelson as the last surviving Highwayman?

 

Stop lying, nobody did.

He’s not keeping so well just now, hopefully he gets his mojo back soon.

This picture was taken just after she was booed by the crowd - it was a couple of weeks after she tore up the picture.  He says that what he was saying in her ear was "don't let the *******s get you down".

I was in Nashville a couple of weeks ago. I got this picture of a ceiling tile that  he had signed in Tootsies Bar. 
RIP Kris.

Remember him for A star is born with Barbara Streisand, and Convoy with Ali McGraw. I believe he was a Ranger in Vietnam. I work we with a fella who was called Kris after him as his mum is a big fan.

RIP Kris Kristofferson.

Yes he out shone Babs in “ a star is born” . a fine actor and song writer  . His part was originally offered to Elvis . Now that would have been an incredible pairing  , but as I said he was the best thing in the film . RIP

"I found a considerable lack of work after doing concerts for Palestinian children.. if that's the way it has to be, that's the way it has to be. If you support human rights, you gotta support them everywhere."

One of the sad things about growing old yourself, is that people who you watched on tv and film, in your younger years, are being lost at an increasing rate.

Yip. I ain't picking that excellent set of lyrics apart!

I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide. R.I.P, just old Willie left.
