Kris Kristofferson Died Today

[MontanaPat]

I met him in the fall of 2005 at a bbq picnic for parents and freshmen students at Pepperdine University. His son and my daughter were both new freshmen. Spoke with him briefly, seemed like a friendly and down to earth person, he must have been about 70 at the time. RIP

I always liked him in movies. I think he was better at acting and song writing than singing.

Not really a fan of country music, but liked his singing and acting. Also wrote great songs.

May he rest in peace.

One of my favorite performances by Kris Kristofferson was when he played a Border Patrol agent opposite Treat Williams in "Flashpoint". May both of those great talents RIP.

My infamous cousin Cactus Joe (Blue Diamond Nursery) in Vegas, once in his younger years "lost" his 4 y/o daughter at a Kris Kristofferson concert. Kristofferson came through the crowd with the little girl in tow and ask joe if he has lost her. They had a brief conversation, and Kristofferson went back to the stage.

Rhodes Scholar, Airborne Ranger qualified, US Army aviator, commercial chopper pilot out of South Louisiana, country western song writer and singer, and award winning actor. They don't make his type much any longer.

Among a host of other songs - Me and Bobby McGee as performed by Janis Joplin

And of course with "The Highwaymen" recorded and performed with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings

Along with a cute Ali MacGraw. Most don't realize it was directed by Sam Peckinpah - not his usual bloody fare.
