Whenever I think of him, I recall the story of when he was a struggling song writer trying to make it in Nashville. He and an Army buddy used a helicopter to fly to Johnny Cash’s house, landed in the back yard and presented some sheet music to June, who came out of the house to see what was going.
Handing her the sheets he reportedly said: I’m Kris Kristofferson and I just wrote Johnny’s next hit.

Interesting guy - he was also a Rhodes scholar, a Captain in the US Army, and completed Ranger School.
“Kristofferson recalled of his days as a pilot, “That was about the last three years before I started performing, before people started cutting my songs. I would work a week down here [in south Louisiana] for PHI, sitting on an oil platform and flying helicopters. Then I’d go back to Nashville at the end of the week and spend a week up there trying to pitch the songs, then come back down and write songs for another week. I can remember “Help Me Make It Through the Night” I wrote sitting on top of an oil platform. I wrote “Bobby McGee” down here, and a lot of them [in south Louisiana].”
Weeks after giving Carter his tapes, Kristofferson landed a helicopter in Cash’s front yard, gaining his full attention” ...
