Much of Kris Kristofferson’s musical narratives put you on the opposing seat in the confessional while all the while there are fleeting glimpses of your own story reflecting back.  Kris was more than a renaissance man. He was an individual whose values and beliefs were held close but easily parsed in the music that made him who he was. There was all that we want in our own selves: honesty, forthrightness, certainty, humor, and a social conscience like the one he shared with the late Sinead O’Conner. A poignant and aspirational tribute from a man who was army ranger, a helicopter pilot, firefighter, a Golden Gloves boxer and Rhodes Scholar in literature who credited a philosophy professor as his greatest influence. We’ll spend time with his words and music this October morning. Here’s hoping you can join us.
