  1. Kris, I’d also like to thank you for finding John Prine and introducing JP to us and his music as well in the early 70’s. You both were fantastic singer song writers and great musicians. And how many other country musicians and actors were ever US Army Officers and helicopter pilots prior to the Vietnam war. You did a great job Kris, thanks for all the music over the past 50 years.

  2. I’ll buy a box of 12 Krispy Kreme donuts and eat them all for dinner tonight as my way of honoring the life of Kris Kristofferson.

    I’m kidding – I liked everything he did except for the time he made out with Barbra Shitstain. How he navigated around that long schnozz and find her lips is a mystery.

  3. He died at his home in Hana, Maui. This is very nice little community on Maui’s east coast. Charles Lindburgh in buried there. Maybe that’ll be Kris’s final resting place as well.

  4. Godspeed, Kristoffer Kristofferson. I watched him and Waylon and Willie backstage at Red Rocks decades ago when we were all younger and not nearly as wise. Best concert and party I ever spent in my misspent youth. Loved him in “Blume in Love” as Elmo Cole. He was a very talented man.

  5. My best friend who was having heart surgery at a hospital in San Francisco met Kris Kristofferson while Kris Kristofferson was at that hospital for some reason back in the 90’s. I have known my friend for 50 years. My best friend was born with congenital heart defects and has had more heart surgeries including open heart surgery than anyone that I know and is still alive at 72 and married for 50 + years by the grace of God. He also was once a candidate for a heart transplant about ten or so years ago, but they couldn’t do it because of spleen cancer. He’s also had spleen cancer within the past ten years and survived, he wears a pacemaker to monitor his heart and has one eye, the other being a glass eye he showed me once when he removed it to clean it. He’s quite the miracle and a testament to not only modern medicine but also to God’s continuing blessing upon his life.
