    When i was a kid my grandma would send me to the neighbors house to take a plate of food because they were sick. On the way out my grandpa told me to take the lawnmower with me and show them how good I was at mowing grass. They were people in our church. This was how I was raised. People took care of each other. I so much the days when life was simple. Care for your neighbors. Love each other. God bless you all.

    Kris Kristofferson is such an interesting person; he's a Rhode's scholar; a brilliant songwriter..wrote "Me & Bobby McGee".. & also a top notch helicopter pilot; served during the Vietnam war. His father was a highly ranked, military officer & thought Kris would follow suit. But, instead Kris moved to Nashville & pursued a music career. Johnny Cash was his hero & Kris started out there, cleaning recording studios; one that Johnny worked at & Kris once said, that when he first met Johnny, he was doing drugs, especially speed & Kris said, that Johnny looked like a live wire, all in black, skin & bones, twitching. But, he adored Johnny & wanted him to record one of his songs & actually landed a helicopter in Johnny's backyard, to get his attention. It worked.

    It never ceases to amaze me how many people continue to view and comment on Johnny Cash videos, almost ten years after his death (September, 2003). It is a testament to the man's greatness and his incomparable contribution to country/folk music. And we should also appreciate the great Kris Kristofferson who is still with us and still making music.

      This song is like a great piece of art. It forms a picture in the listener's mind of a man who gets up on the Lord's day and experiences misery. A kind of lonely feeling of separation from the rest of humanity. Genius songwriting. And of course who could sing it better than Johnny Cash?

      Ditto on the thanks for your husband's service, DivineSimply, and for your service, James Smith! You're so right about the authenticity of the lyrics. It was so weird when I first heard this song (over a decade and a half ago) how it took my mind right back to Sunday mornings in my own life. Though I was a Christian at the time, memories of going through a time in my life having wild Saturday nights (not just those nights, if I'm honest) then skipping church the next day while hungover, spending Sundays by myself came flooding back. Wise lyrics with a good lesson in this song Kris wrote. God bless you both and your families!

    This Song really brings me back to the Bad, Sad old days when I was a lost Human Being, longing to be part of the human race, but isolated on the outside with no way back. Thank you GOD, and thank you for sharing this beautiful Real Life Song.

    that's amazing the simple fact that Johnny gave the credit where it was due. He was/ is amazing, just cause he passed doesn't mean that his spirit is it's in his music & fans hearts. If it wouldn't have been for him we probably wouldn't know who Kris Kristofferson was, & that would be a damn shame.

      With all due respect--and that's a LOT of respect--to Johnny, if we had to make a choice between having only Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson in our culture and completely exclude the other, I'd take Kris every day of the week and twice on Sunday. It's because of the reason my son was invited to be in so many bands even though he was just a slightly above-average average drummer/vocalist. He was told by many front men: "Hell, players and singers are a dime a dozen. We need guys who can WRITE!"
      Everybody's glad we never had to choose.

    A lot of people don't realize what a BRILLIANT songwriter Kris Kristofferson is ... including this one, Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make it through the Night which he wrote after after reading an interview with Frank Sinatra, in which Sinatra said that he believed in “booze, broads or a Bible … whatever helps me make it through the night.” and one of the most powerful and underrated songs EVER - They Killed Him (a brilliant song about Gandhi, MLK, Jesus Christ, the Kennedy Brothers, The Highwayman -- just a BRILLIANT truly inspired poet.

    Love them both!! My Dad was in a country band all of his life and could always pick some Johnny Cash Tunes. He always said that Kris wrote this song and Johnny sang it.

    One of my favorite songs of all time by two of my favorite musicians. Still tend to prefer Kristofferson since he wrote it, but who doesn't love Cash? All around excellent music, in any case.

      +Doak Turner Kris has a way with words. he can set a scene with one short sentence. Find a recording of his called "the best of all possible worlds" off the Bobby McGee album (if you don't already know it). Lyrics are brilliant.
