I had aged him by 2 yrs. From his website:
Born Kristoffer Kristofferson in the border town of Brownsville, Texas on June 22, 1936, Kristofferson changed the language of country music, with extraordinary internal rhymes, Shakespearean iambic pentameter, and socially progressive subject matters that found the personal within the political.
He was an Oxford scholar, a defensive back, a bartender, a Golden Gloves boxer, a gandy dancer, a forest-fighter, a road crew member, and an Army Ranger who flew helicopters. He was a peacenik, a revolutionary, an actor, a superstar, a Casanova, and a family man. He was almost a teacher at West Point, though he gave that up to become a Nashville songwriting bum.

You know, I don't know him, but he never pulled a punch in his whole life I bet.
Everything he's ever set out to do, he must've went about it like his life depended on it, because he nailed it all the way through.
I mean Jeez, when you consider the levels of accomplishments...all he ever had to do, was decide to do whatever, and it was a done deal.
Every one of us could be like that.

If that story is true(only Toby and Kris know for sure), it’s an all-time smiting. Worthy of entry into the Smiter’s Hall Of Fame.

I was introduced to KK through my mom inn the 70s. When A Star Is Born came out, she played that and KK’s most recent LP non stop.
