    First time I heard Kris was his Silver Tongue record album, in 1972. Loved his songs, and Rita Coolidge was such a beautiful voice next to his. Still listen to their records, they are awesome. And, of course followed his career both in music and in acting. Glad to see he is thinking of his family, and selling off his assets is a wise step. The family can split money easier and can purchase whatever home or property they desire. God bless the Kristofferson family.

    I remember the Kris of the 70s when he was still married to Rita. His best iconic songs come from that era. Fell in love with the man and the songwriter. I did not see any of his movies so I do not qualify to judge his talent as an actor. His songs will remain his legacy and we thank him for that. Now, maybe I don’t have an ear for judging his talent as a singer but I thought his voice was perfect for the messages he sent us in his songs. I was very sad to see him on stage at Willie’s 90th birthday celebration. A shadow of himself. Let’s remember him as the handsome, mischievous and super talented singer he was and is. Kris , you are loved by millions!

But what an incredible empath and talent to translate his insights into a language that speaks to a person’s very soul.

    Kris was a total original; he merged great poetry and melody, and his songs were mostly self-portraits and , " Loving Her Was Easier ." Is my favourite. I rate him alongside Roger Miller and Johnny Cash among the all-time great originals in country music .. He is showing immense fortitude and resignation of the fact that he is coming close to his inevitable end
    It was my great privilege to have seen him three times here in Ireland, and those will be my abiding memories of him., and I still hope it will be a considerable length of time before he closes the exit door.

    Loved his character in HEAVEN'S GATE, a film from 1980 which had a past negative reputation and brought ruin to UNITED ARTISTS. Many combined factors added to total up the film's colossal expense. I believe it to have a cult following since, with a much more of a positive and realistic look. Based on true stories and incidents at the time, they formed the basic outline for this magnificent western epic, beautifully photographed and richly detailed. HOWEVER, BEWARE of different time totals. The only VERSION to see , in my opinion, is the 3-hour and 50 minute cut, and for all those who haven't seen it, all of the endings are BASICALLY the same, sans a few weird edits- between -the- edits and are REALLY STRANGE with indifference. PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID was another masterpiece, with sort of the same problems! Thank you, KRIS, for all of the GREAT memories! You are truly one of the great artists of our times. AGAIN-loved your character in HEAVEN'S GATE!

    My favorite memories: I was in Nashville for the first time in early 1969 working with Bonnie Guitar, Paula Tutmarc, and Don Tweedy Productions recording an album at RCA. I met Kris during that time and we hung out for a couple of weeks. I played guitar on a few late night demo sessions (off the clock) for him. This was just before Ray Stevens release of Sunday Morning Coming Down, followed by Johnny Cash on his tv show in early 1970.

    I have been an avid Kris fan since the 1970s. My first encounter was by chance hearing his recording of ‘Me and Bobby Magee’ in the background. I was an instant fan! He gave a great concert in the RDS in Dublin around 1980. I think he was very pleased with the warm Irish welcome he got from the audience and it was well deserved. He has had an amazing life and it is sad to think that he may now be nearing the end as is suggested by the title.

    I know Chris Kristofferson better has a musician rather than a movie star. One of my favorite songs that he wrote was help me make it through the night. And Bobby McGee was a great one. I liked him as a single artist and I liked him when he was with the highway men. Basically he was really a good songwriter and musician. I grew up, not too far from Pomona and Claremont, I came from Ontario California. Back in the good all days thanks for the video. There’s only one thing I can honestly say I’m 70 now I hope I make it to be at least 85 maybe 90 who knows all except is I’m glad they found his problem. Hope he lives in a while longer.👍🏼👍🏼🎸😎❤️

    We met once at the Universal commissary my dad worked at Technicolor as a celluloid cinematic mechanical engineering buyer when Technicolor was
    Still located on Lankershim blvd. We walked across the lots. My dad had just told me to keep my eyes peeled as there are alot of celebrities walking around here. Guess who was in line right next to me and my dad at the cash register?! He was so tall wearing an all black suit He smiled a billion $ smile at us and said hi to us. He was so nice and friendly. Will always remember this and how handsome and nice he was.❤

    caring side to him. best wishes to Kris Kristofferson
    and his family.
    "Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter.
    Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end."
    Kris Kristofferson
    "Roy Orbison was one of the genuinely nicest persons I've ever known.
    With one of the most beautiful voices in the history of recorded music
    he could easily have had an opera star's ego, but he was one of the
    humblest, kindest, sweetest human beings to grace this planet.
    This in spite of the enormous tragedies in his life. A brave,
    beautiful blessing of a man."
    Kris Kristofferson
    "I grew up in a time when people believed in duty, honor and country.
    My grandfathers were both officers. My father was a General in the Air Force.
    My brother and I were both in the Army. I've always felt a kinship with soldiers;
    I think it's possible to support the warrior and be against the war."
    Kris Kristofferson

He was scheduled to play for the night crowd that evening. I was picking up some food for my Mom who was at home dying of cancer. He said hello and I responded in kind!

    I've seen Kris perform here in Brisbane, Qld. Australia, with the Highwaymen at a huge venue. I've seen him here in Brisbane at a small venue,
    where it was just Kris and his acoustic guitar. I cherish the memories of both events. However there was something warm and personal about
    that smaller auditorium performance. As an amateur songwriter just 11 years his junior, his songwriting talents have had a massive influence
    on me. His subject matter and his colorful way of story telling in his songs are unequalled. Well, Willie Nelson and Tom T. Hall may be in the
    same class, but Kris just rides the song writing wave like no other.

He has always been on the right side of history, like the time he comforted Sinead O'Connor when she was booed for standing up against child abuse. When he's gone, he will live on in our hearts.

    A man told me that he believes we are born, we live and die and that's all. I said if he is wrong and the bible is right he will have much to be worried about.
    Our decision to get saved and our sins forgiven is the right thing to do. If we don't and go to hell (outer darkness and torment) for eternity is something to think about. There are no Exit signs in hell. You won't be able to undo your decision.
