My Favorite Kris Kristofferson Story

[@RockNRod.]

Kris was a legend, the real deal. And, Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down.

[@tombeyerlein3813]

It was so shameful that a protest singer got such hate at, of all things, a Bob Dylan tribute. Kristofferson showed what he was made of. I've always respected him for that.

[@venkeeide4511]

Thanks for this. New to me that Kris Kristofferson stood up for Sinead O'Connor . Rip both of them 🌹🌹

[@davepounds8924]

Nice tribute to in my opinion was an underrated songwriter Kristofferson wrote some beautiful songs and lyrics his first few albums RIP Kris!!

[@terrymann1341]

We have sadly lost another all time great. I remember watching that show on TV and being totally stunned by the reaction to Sinead at a Bob Dylan tribute show. All due respect to Kris Kristofferson for walking out and showing support and solidarity to Sinead in the face of so much hatred, and yes Mazz she was so right.... RIP Sinead and Kris....

Good tribute Mazzy. I saw Kristofferson twice, both solo. The Disney Concert Hall in L.A. has perfect acoustics. He commanded the stage with the humility and grace of Gustavo Dudamel, who leads the Philharmonic there. He was cheered and applauded with every song. And every time he look out at the audience and said “thank you,” “ thank you very much.” We thank you Kris for sharing your gift with us.

Nice tribute to Kristofferson. His album, Jesus was a Capricorn is one of the best.

[@mliwulanga]

He's one of my favorites. Thanks so much for the video!

[@shaunmccaul1695]

Sinead O'Connor was right about everything. AMAZING singer.

[@MrTwixraider]

Both rest in peace

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Thanks for this, Mazzy. What a career and legacy Kris Kristofferson left us. Movies like Lone Star, music, songwriter, performer etc. A triple threat. And the author of Me and Bobby McGee. Sunday Morning Coming Down, For the Good Times, and so many others. A true artist and icon.

Moving piece Mazzy.. Thx. I had mentioned this to a mate today. Keep at it. 🙏🎶

[@rocky-o]

[@rocky-o]

[@mikeopmorgan3332]

Thanks for this one Mazzy.

[@seamuscolgan7654]

Well said Mazzy! That was a very fitting tribute 🖤

[@mitchparker7652]

Great tribute to 2 wonderful artists. (appropriate t-shirt).

[@garycornell6433]

As usual you honor the memory of Kris by bringing light to his contributions to the world! Kris was an honest and humble man! Love his music and movie roles!

[@harrysmusicroom]

The publishing demos is GREAT, I have the Light in the Attic numbered vinyl pressing. Love all of his music.

[@ianmoore4587]

Let’s not forget The Highwaymen……just one remaining now.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

He played a scary dude in Sam Peckinpah's Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.

[@kjbiz]

Love this story and their mutual respect for each other.

[@matthewtapley2765]

Well said. Apparently you forget songs like With God on Our Side and Masters of War in thirty years! Shame on that audience. That SNL was stunning and brave. And kudos to Kris, another great individual ✌🏻

[@henrycrinkle821]

I remember watching Sinead's performance on TV and thinking it was one of the bravest things I'd ever seen. I think as she went into the wings she threw up. KK himself was no stranger to booing - at the Isle Of Wight festival - it was the one which became chaotic (Joni Mitchell's set was interrupted by a Charles Manson lookalike wandering onstage) - he was booed throughout - at one point he went into 'Bringing In The Sheaves' and he turned to his band and said, increduously, 'They're booing Bringing In The Sheaves'.

'The Last Movie ' , the Dennis Hopper film, - 'The Last Picture Show', Peter Bogdanovich.

[@marksaleski9890]

Wow, I didn’t even know about her mother. Yikes.

[@bethstratton3391]

Heck yes Sinéad was so right. Sinatra’s comments were so stupid in that moment. I was so proud how Chris stood by her side, he understood and was one of the good guys. Sinéad was so powerful in that moment, she was never afraid to stand up and be counted. I remember how Bob Geldof and Bono (U2) both said they were ashamed that they never openly showed their support at that time and how they were wrong not to do so. Bob should have done, because it was his performance in which he tore up a photo of John Travolta on Top of the pops, that partially gave Sinéad the idea to do what she did.

[@brendanmccarthy4218]

Light in the Attic did do a vinyl version. It sounds great.

[@jettlightning]

Monument as a Columbia records distribution deal.

[@EdKazO-Vision]

I was there too Mazzy. I was appalled at the booing and did not participate. Great show nonetheless. George Harrison! How cool was that?

[@davidkornblatt851]

Krist Kristofferson was great but I want to talk about Revolver! I have the first German Stereo cd edition of it and it sounds great better than any copy I’ve heard on vinyl. I can’t explain it. Maybe you can?

[@teckertime]

Many Beatles CD pressings sound amazing.

[@ivesbk]

All in on Sinead, Amen. The Doc NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU on Sinead is excellent. Shortsighted of Princes' estate to not let the director use the song. TRAILER: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpu9d5qficyWqrs.

[@teckertime]

Surprised you aren't a fan of the Streisand/Kristofferson Star is Born. RIP KK

[@seanm3226]

I suppose Sinead should have ripped a photo of her mother, rather than the Pope.

[@waynedexter]

If her mother was the pope she would’ve

[@mazzysmusic]

@@seanm3226 no because the church was protecting hundred of abusers.

[@waynedexter]

Sinead’s mother didn’t sanction a global pedophile ring like your precious pope did

Very good tribute Mazzy. The loss of Kris is mayor in the music industry, Sm many artists recorded his songs. As far as Merle Haggerd, he had a very long career. From the late 60's to around 2000, or so, Radio did turn there back on a lot of artists but that is the music business, I am not saying it is right.
