Kristofferson is an underated songwriter much like Billy Joe Shaver and Townes Van Zandt.

Agree, not a lennon fan. He was nasty to his kids and first wife, She accused him of physical abuse. He also said he mugged sailors in Hamburg for a living before the Beatles were formed. He's no saint.

Kris Kristofferson wrote many songs that others have made famous. When I first met my wife 50 years ago, she introduced me to his music. I am absolutely hooked on any version of "Me and Bobby Magee". His producers almost threw that in the trashcan because it sounded too country. Then Joplin sang it.
