Kris Kristofferson, Songwriter Whose Poetic Lyrics Transcended Genre, Dead at 88
Kris Kristofferson, the revered songwriter whose poetic lyrics transcended genre, has died at age 88.
One of the all time greatest songwriters. There's not a single song on his first album (Kristofferson) that is not made for the history books.
Nick Cave recemtly referenced him (and his cleanest dirty shirt) on his newest album (Wild God, song Frogs), in a song that is all about life and death. Seems relevant somehow.
Then I headed back for homeAnd somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringingAnd it echoed through the canyonsLike the disappearing dreams of yesterday
