"Me and Bobby McGee", as sung by Janis Joplin, is one of my all-time favorite blues songs.
That makes Willie Nelson the last of the Highwaymen.

My mom bought the vinyl LP of that album when it was released. Lots of good songs that as a young kid you don't appreciate until you're older and understand what he was saying in the lyrics.
"Sunday Morning coming Down"..........a great song that captured the feeling of a Sunday so perfectly.
Crap. Genuinely good dude. Will always remember him sticking up for Sinead O’Connor. RIP.
“I was not about to do that,” said Kristoffersonin 2010 on the Irish television show Saturday Night with Miriam. “I went out and I said ‘Don’t let the bastards get you down,’ and she said ‘I’m not down,’ and she sang. It was very courageous. It just seemed to me wrong, booing that little girl out there, but she’s always had courage.”

Yes, there was the music, and the acting, but there was also the Rhodes Scholar, the Army Ranger, the helicopter pilot, the man who was offered a teaching position in English at West Point, the Gold Gloves Boxer.....
My favorite line to sing…..and I’d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday.
An amazing poet.

First time I heard that song (sung by Johnny Cash) was a bit of an awakening for me. I realized there was a little too much of me in there.
Kris spend time in the US Army. He went through Airborne and Ranger School and then went through Flight School and learned to fly helicopters. He left the Army at the end of his time because the Army did not send him to Viet Nam. Anyway a good guy and we will miss him.
