LOL! To each his own. I'm not at all surprised that a Dixie Chicks fan doesn't know much about Kris Kristofferson. He's in the Country Music Hall of Fame and is considered an all-time great songwriter ("Me & Bobby McGee, "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" and "Help Me Make It Through the Night", "Why Me?", to name a few). No comparison to the Dixie Chicks, I guess.

He was also a Rhodes Scholar, Army Ranger and Helicopter pilot, and taught English Literature at West Point, btw. Quite an interesting guy. And you know him from a Barbra Striesand movie.

Agreed. Kristofferson is a very talented man.

Oh, how I HATE his politics, but what a songwriter. It was quite a while before I realized it was him writing "Sunday Morning Comin' Down."

I thought Cash wrote it.

And Johnny's version is the standard.

But I give credit where it is due.

BTW, HOW does a man with such a background like Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson (to a lesser degree), become liberal pukes?

Country music is IMHO, the best reflection of America, and our values.
