About SIMPLE TRIPLE STANDARD
"Simple Triple Standard" is Historical Fiction gnawing the gut of local radio news reporter Bryant L Herman in a close-knit community bent with double standards.
Every day we’re affected by standards, whether or not we perceive their presence. "The Real Official, Almost True Backstory for Modern Commercial Radio" demonstrates some common double standards and how much more complicated a triple standard can be. World-famous Austin music celebrities and recognizable local radio personalities embody Bryant's description of this genuine 1970s Texas-style nostalgic win. SIMPLE TRIPLE STANDARD is seasoned with love, passion, and an unexpectedly lethal twist.
Bryant L Herman lives vicariously through stories in the news and privately wonders if his own life story will ever amount to anything nearly as noteworthy. Relative to where you stand, the answer can be deadly.

Praise you Jesus for delivering my heart mind and soul from the darkness of sin ❤
Thank you Kris Kristofferson for your testimony, I was a drug dealer, I was violent, said I didn't believe in God , and had a little grandma that prayed for me and I wound up accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in 1980 and have been drug free now 43 years and the Lord took that violent temper. Now I minister to guys in jail and try to get them to Jesus and He will do the changing.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you❤❤❤
Thank you sir for giving a glimmer of hope by way of God’s word to so many. May God continue to bless and keep you
Thank you Kris for sharing ❤❤

Rest in peace kris November 26th 2024, who's listening?
I've found GOD this past year ....I'm not lost anymore !!
@@tomspearman86 I’ve loved God and Jesus my whole life. And I’ve experienced miracles. And yet, as a mere human being, I’ve made many a mistake along my way. This song touched my heart from the first time I heard him sing it way back when. So grateful to hear it again!
Kris Kristofferson has been my favorite country star for at least 45 years!!!! I listen to him whenever I get the chance!!!!!!
This was My Daddy's favorite song! I miss hearing him sing it as he played the guitar.... His Old 1938 Gibson Flattop ... It was so beautiful to hear and see!!! It's like when he started to play and sing... Something took over and WOW! All I can say is .... WOW! Thank You Jesus for giving me a Wonderful Daddy! And Momma! That beautiful 3 part harmony in our living room at any giving time .... Beautiful Memories!
Very profound good luck to you it great to hear thet your parents ment so much to yuo
I have always admired Kris his music and Religious Beliefs. Why Me Lord was always a song I knew but never truly understood. Until, I went thru an experience that I would never wish on another person. I didn't find Jesus. Jesus found me. I wasn't praying or asking Jesus for help. But, somehow he had found me and I had a Spiritual and Soulful awakening. He removed me from the Hell I is was in. Jesus placed me back into the arms of the ones who truly Love me. Now that I have Jesus in my Heart I will never let him go. I will never stray from his grace and Love
1 am 89 years young and I have loved Kris since I first heard him and I started praying for him to find JESUS CHRIST SND EHEN I HEARD HIM DING THIS DING …WHY ME LORD, I KNEW MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED, THIS IS MY LOVE FOR KRIS AND FOR MY LORD , , 6:40
Amen. Concerning another subject and that being Kris. Love him and his music. 👃
Thanks for sharing your testimony. Our lives are strengthened through hearing others and our testimonies are also strengthened. I remember going to my lady friends bedroom with tears the first night. It was the next night that there weren't any tears but something I could not deny nor tell anyone less they think that I was crazy. He's always with me. Peace be with us. Brothers in Christ Jesus.
I was able to discuss this song with him. My uncle played in Dottie West 's band for many years. I had an awakening that saved my life as well. Grateful to have the Lord by my side each day. Blessings be yours. 💙🙏
Beautiful
In 1972 I was on a Highway U.S. 70 heading east in a slide, almost wreaked. At that moment a new song started to play over the radio( WHY ME LORD)...by an Artist that I had never of... Kris Kristofferson.. I came out of that slide and Thanked the Good Lord.
God chooses his own, His timing, His place and all we need do is say yes.
You have to choose..
God chose us since / from the beginning!
YES!!
Awwwn 🥰🥰🥰 you just spoke it all. Gods yes is yes. I love fellow believers.🌹

Mary Copeland, so well said. God bless you always!
I LOVE TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG OVER AND OVER.
me too
Sss see see I
It's always 💞in my head! Thank you Kris.🙏
I love older gospel music because it puts much closer to the Lord. I can feel the Lord's love all day and night.
Totally agree with you, very few of the newer Christian music is comes out good the rest is to commercial.
Thank you Kris for the amazing testimony and awesome song/music
I first heard this song on a cassette that I bought in a garage on the M3 on my way to visit a friend who sadly crossed the line and ended in prison on the Isle of Wight. The cassette was for my pal who loved country music and I was familiar with K K. On hearing "Why me Lord" the hairs on my neck stood on end when I heard the female voice toward the end of the song. Having given my pal the cassette, on my return to home I searched and found that the woman on the track was Phobe Snow who so sadly is no longer with us in person, but lives on every time I hear or play this track the hairs on my neck are standing up as I write this. God bless you Kris and thanks.
What a testimony,the holy spirit came upon Kris at that church meeting.Acts 2:17 In the last days,God says,I will pour out my spirit on all people,your sons and daughters shall prophesy,your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
Who is dotty x
What a testimony. Jesus loves us so much that he died for us praise the Lord.
Dave I know that feeling Kris is talking about..It's like a clean feeling comes over your body..I have to this day a clean feeling all in my chest...Unless you've through don't judge me or anyone...Awesome Feeling...
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Amen
The first time I heard Why Me Lord was a couple years ago. Mr. Travis Tritt song it at Mr. Jones memorial Service. I downloaded the song and still to this day listen and sing along to it daily. It helped me through a tough time in my life and lifts me even higher when I'm sailing in smooth waters. It's amazing how the Lord works. Jesus touching your soul led to Why Me Lord in turn has helped me have a closer walk with The Lord. Now I have heard your testimony behind the song it means that much more to me. Thank you and Godbless.
What a beautiful humble testimony of the power and love of Jesus. Hallelujah. Jesus, you are, and always will be, my only Hope, my only Truth, and my best experience of True Love💗
Ilove this song so much i found myself singing this song three times every morning i really feel connected to this song and absolutley love Kris singing this wonderful song and i have watched it several times and will continue wathing it .
Thank you Kris your testimony touches my heart everytime I listen we ❤ Jesus you just showed us everyone needs Jesus everyday .
The song that brought millions of people to Jesus 🙏🙌💜
This song reminds me of the best songs ever. What did I ever do? What did I do wrong? Yes I Accepted JESUS
We all come to this realization sometime. Thank you Lord and God’s Blessings to his family.
This was one of my dearest mothers favorite songs and I remember singing it with her before she passed when I was only 8 years old. I miss you my Dear .
What a profound story. God bless you Kris Kristofferson.
Jesus is the Best thing that's ever happened to me.
I was a Lost Sinner, Jesus accepted me just as i was and washed away all of my past sins.
He will do that for anyone that accepts him no matter what you have done in your past.
This really grips my heart like no other song! Such a beautiful testimony! The most heartfelt song ever!!
We all come to a point you know that we cannot do without God's. Help
Where we understand that we need more help that we. Turn toGod
Never more in this traumatised world is this beautiful song more relevant, and Kris puts his hart and soul in a truly revealing moment in his life, God Bless those whom follow in his way,
That's the difference of today we really used to believe in God and it was cool and now the demons of taking over
Satan thought he won the day ….on Calvary ! God never loses !❤ keep faith in Jesus, He never moves away from us !😅
God have mercy on my wretched soul!
I was crying big'o tears I didn't know why but when I went up front and you down to pray with another lady I knew why Jesus came into my heart. I understand every word of this song thank you Khris
@Greg Normal this is a great site . Great question you asked on this platform. If you are a fan of Jesus enough said and God bless.

GOD BLESS you all, thank you Kris Kristofferson for that Spectacular Song and welcome to the Family of JESUS CHRIST. " Why me LORD" is one of my FAVOURITE Songs. Its the first Song I learned in College yet I only accepted JESUS CHRIST in 2011 and that Song came to my mind at the time ❤️🙏💜. .
I’ve been singing this beautiful song with my sons for 35 years. They play guitar and I harmonize. Wish I could thank Kris for this song that has meant so very much to me.
Amen..Born in late 60's and was raised up with Willie, Waylon and The Boys,Janis, Boz, Kris, The Carpenters..60's and 70's music are the best.
This is a perfect song.
As Paul Harvey would say, now you know the rest of the story. Great, great song. Thanks Kris!
Nice
I herd this song a thousand times before hearing it sung by Kris I couldn't stop the tears I then was informed he wrote it.need I say more.
I can really identify with your comment - it happens to me as well.

I remember having a Saturday night house party at some friends who worked together in Ontario, Canada, in the winter of 1981. We sang a number of songs but this was an absolute favourite. Thank you Joe, Wendy, Rosalie, John and the gang. We have all gone our separate ways but I will remember those days and more importantly, all of you forever.

Thank you Jesus for all the mercy you've shown me I feel like this song was written for me
The greatest song ever
I loved this song forever , and the writer kris Kristofferson is the absolute best writer in music , he didnt have the strongest voice i guess thats why other artistist sang what he wrote . But when he sang this song , THIS song , i dont know why but nobody can sing it like he does , others have but its his song , not sure why but as long as kris is with us , nobody can remake it and make it theres . Now with that said , i am well aware of the songs ge wrote that has blessed millions but i also know kris was and ivy league study an national gaurdsman and he could have been successful as a desk jockey and im glad he choose to touch the lives of countless million and im 1 .
Beautiful
