Well...today would have been Kris Kristofferson's 90th birthday. A Phi Beta Kappa, Rhodes Scholar, US Army Ranger (helicopter pilot), Song Writer, Actor, and member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Happy Birthday and RIP to a truly amazing songwriter.

"He's a poet, he's a picker
He's a prophet, he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home."

He did it all and could write you a fricking great song about it.

Respect, sir.

Janis Joplin took her interpretation of his creation to the top of the charts.
