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).

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"

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"

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.
