    • Highwaymen live at Nas...
    Well, three more of Kris' songs from the Highwaymen concert "live from Nassau", that made me fell in love so badly with Kris' music.
    It's available on DVD.
    www.amazon.com/Live-Region-2-H...
    www.amazon.co.uk/Highwaymen-Li...
    Some lovely scenes even made me smile.
    Watch closely...
    I love it so much when Kris starts dancing at 1:48 ... It's a pity that the cutter (or the director... producer...?) seemed not to notice that and focused on the guitar instead, too soon to me... (btw. Reggie Young is - how would Kris say? ... the very devil on the E-guitar!)
    Kris Kristofferson
    They killed him
    There was a man named Mahatma Ghandi
    He would not bow down, he would not fight
    He knew the deal was down and dirty
    And nothing wrong could make it right away
    But he knew his duty, and the price he had to pay
    Just another holy man who tried to make a stand
    My god, they killed him !
    Another man from Atlanta, Georgia
    By the name of Martin Luther King
    He shook the land like rolling thunder
    And made the bells of freedom ring today
    With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away
    Just another holy man who dared to be a friend
    My god, they killed him !
    The only son of God Almighty
    The holy one called Jesus Christ
    Healed the lame and fed the hungry
    And for his love they took his life away
    On the road to glory where the story never ends
    Just the holy son of man will never understand
    My god, they killed him !
    Sing about Mahatma Ghandi
    Sing of Martin Luther King
    Sing of Jesus Christ Almighty
    And the brothers Kennedy
    The song is on Kris' album "Repossessed" (1986)

    Kris was such a big part of the Highwaymen. He was always known more as a songwriter than a performer, but he is damn talented and I love the way they added so much to the instrumentals when he performed with them. A true legend!

    One good thing about getting older is we grew up with the most fantastic music and true musicians. I had the pleasure to see these guys when they toured Australia so many years ago.

    Kris flew helicopters... in the US army in Germany and then in the US (mainly to oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico). He volunteered for Vietnam but they did NOT take him because he was supposed to take a job as a teacher for English literature at Westpoint... he then quit the army to go to Nashville instead of Westpoint...
