Ah Man. A liberal I could respect. USC football player, Rhodes Scholar, Vietnam Vet, helicopter pilot. Wrotej the greatest song in American history , IMO, Me and Bobby McGee. The alcoholic national anthem, Sunday Morning Coming Down, the most covered song in country music  history, Help Me Make It Through The Night.  The Highway Men. Just a great piece of American history. Thanks KC, been enjoying your work forever, will till I’m gone. RIP. Thanks.

I don’t know if I hit it all. He’s an incredible cat. Like Ted Williams

In 1960, Kristofferson joined the U.S. Army, earning his Ranger tab and becoming a helicopter pilot. His military service was marked by dedication and skill, and he eventually became captain. While stationed in Germany, he formed a band and began to nurture his passion for music. His love for the arts would only deepen as years went by, but that’s not the only reason that prompted him to leave the Army.

Right up there with Christopher Lee as one of the cooler guys of the 20th century.

Lots of old conspiracy theories claiming he was a pedophile lizard person. Surprised that hasn't stuck with some of the types inclined to believe that stuff.

RIP to one of the few country artists I have a lot of appreciation for. The Highwaymen are a staggering fusion of legends that I will never tire of listening to.

Heck of a singer/songwriter when he wasn't getting tossed around by Shaq in the low post.

Ts & Ps to all involved.
