Title: R. I. P. Kris Kristofferson Post by: Rocker on September 30, 2024, 04:39:27 PM It's funny how these things go. Just yesterday I thought about what I would post when Kris Kristofferson would die and today I hear about his death (these kind of things happen quite regularly to me).
Kris Kristofferson, singer-songwriter and actor, dead at 88 https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/29/entertainment/kris-kristofferson-singer-songwriter-dead/index.html Brian Wilson with Kris Kristopherson Orpheum 2/14/08 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-TlvBzNHcA There's a song from his second album that, when I first heard it, I played around twenty times in a row until I could play and sing it by heart. It must've been around twenty years ago. I don't know if any other song ever made me want to write songs myself so desprately as this one: "When I loved her" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkUzEqZnnmg The man was an incredible writer and his songs will be played a hundred years from now. "For the good times", "Me and Bobby McGhee", "Help me make it through the Night", "Loving her was easier", "Why me Lord"... you could go on and on. Time to put some of his records on the player. "Go, break a heart...." "The Final attraction" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfCBqZm0ikg |
