Kris Kristofferson

@immatthewj I am sure I had heard him on many occasions. In general I stay away from country which morphed into a joke lately. Of course his country genre is not this current genre...

You probably have. He wrote and recorded a ton of music. He wrote Me And Bobby McGee, and Rodger Miller and Janis Joplin both recorded it before he did. On edit, I had been under the impression that he wrote it for Janis Joplin, but after I just now did a google, I am not sure about that. I always thought of Kris Kristofferson as part of the outlaw segment of country music. Good music to drink Jack Daniels to.

Watching Cisco Pike in his honor as we speak.

He’s a poet, He’s a picker

he’a prophet, He’s a pusher

he’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned

he’s a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction

Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home

He left us with classics this was a favorite 

Yes a great songwriter , one of my favorite Johnny Cssh songs 
I think Sunday Monday coming down ,Chris wrote ,he did a lot of excellent workfor many.

another great one goes up to-the Lord  ,Rest in peace Brother.

This is one of his.

A beautiful line from this always gets to me...
