No, your thread's title isn't any more deserving of attention that anybody else's.
If we ever get to heaven boys
It ain't because we ain't done nothin' wrong
We're in this gig together
So let's settle down and steal each other's song.
Wasn’t he a born again Christian?
I heard he was vain.
Some of my fave songs by him. Bobby McGhee, For the Good Times, Sunday am coming down & Help me Make it through the night. Very talented man.
Back in the early 70s, my boyfriend was working on the oil platforms in Louisiana. Kris was their helicopter pilot for a bit.
A Kristofferson song sung by Johnny Cash that Christians and many people who have lived hard should listen to.

I hope he is doing well. His recounting of coming to Christ is on the net. He describes his acceptance at a small church and he did say he accepted God’s forgiveness. He describes as a religious experience. He doesn’t say much after that. The song he wrote, “Why me Lord” came from that experience. He didn’t seem to recount how much of his life changed after his acceptance of Jesus’ forgiveness.
Vietnam Blues--Dave Dudley (1966)

I thought a legend was a story that wasn’t true.
CMT made a documentary when the group “The Highwaymen” were recording their first EP. Each musician had a sort of cubicle along the wall where they kept their instruments and personal effects, talismans, etc.
Kristofferson’s cubicle had poster-sized photos of Che Guevara and Noam Chomsky.
Willie even remarked on camera how it creeped him out that “Noam has been giving me the eye.”
Sounds like a story of privilege to me, but wdik.
He stars in this old film “Rollover”
It is about the Saudis abandoning the petrodollar and moving their assets into gold. This causes worldwide financial collapse.. very timely!
A must see for these times...

Believe he was a helicopter pilot in the late 60’s with the 8th Infantry Division in Bad Kreuznach Germany. I got there a couple of years after he left but his legacy lived on.
I think one of his albums was dedicated to “the boys in BK.”
This ain’t Kristofferson, but has a vintage semblance of his brilliancy:
Any man lucky enough to marry Rita Coolidge is O.k. in my book.
Funny, just today I was discussing and playing the song “One Day at a Time” for a young man from Generation Z, telling him about the old gospel country song and Kris Kristofferson.
