Incredible talent. Wrote many all-time songs. Fitting he died on a Sunday morning coming down.

RIP!

 

Very talented dude!

[US Egg]

Talented, exceptionally smart and a bit of a badass.

 

A unique guy, to say the least.

[Bad Things]

A smart, strong man who held on to his convictions.

There's not a lot of men like him walking among us.

 

God bless you, Kris!

His California ranch has been on the market for a bit. Comes with 1 mile of coastline. Just a cool $20M...

I like the story that Johnny Cash used to tell about Kristofferson stealing a helicopter (he was actually a chopper pilot in the Army) flying it to Cash's house with a demo to make him listen to it, then landing in his yard and getting out with a beer in his hand.

Kristofferson said it's only partly true. He only "borrowed" the helicopter (from the Army, who didn't know ) and he didn't have a beer in his hand because it's too hard to fly a chopper one-handed (coming from a guy who had already been grounded for flying drunk ).

I cannot imagine what the post-show room would have been like with him, Cash, Willie and Waylon when they were playing together.

That’s the thing, even if you’re there you’re not really sure what happened. You could say the same thing the next day!  😂

Speaking of Kristofferson, he wrote one of my favorite hymns called “Why Me Lord?”, Johnny Cash and Ray Charles do a great cover of it.. Anyways I’m sad to see him pass.. RIP
