Kris Kristofferson


Kris Kristofferson, the singer/songwriter/actor who  wrote hits like Me and Bobby McGee and starred in the '70's version of A Star is Born,  has died. He was 88.

I remember him most from my very early youth,  from way back on Windlake Ave, which puts it at pre-'79.  My parents had an 8-track of the soundtrack from A Star is Born. They must have had a Kristofferson 8-track too, because I remember Jesus Was a Capricorn. Anyway, what I remembered most about him was the repetition in his name, and being fascinated by it, like Dan Danielson. Weird what kids think about. 

I also remember him from the '80's miniseries Amerika, about a US occupied by Soviet forces. 

RIP
