Kris Kristofferson tribute 2025 . Day #10 of 10. Here Comes that Rainbow Again is a song about paying kindness forward. Based on a scene from the Grapes of Wrath, Kris joked in the intro his video, “I kind of wrote it with John Steinbeck…only he was dead at the time.”.

Kris Kristofferson tribute 2025 . Day #7 of 10. Please don't tell me how this story ends. Kris wrote this early 70's. Bobby Bare & Ronnie Milsap recorded it. I don't know if Kris recorded it on his own before he did with Rita Coolidge on their duet album, Natural Act.

Kris Kristofferson tribute day #4 of 10. Kris wrote "Why Me Lord?" reportedly moved and inspired during a "born again" moment upon hearing and feeling Larry Gatlin's song Help me Lord. This was on Kris' 1973 album Jesus Was a Capricorn with Rita and Larry supporting.

Kris Kristofferson tribute day #3/10. "For the good times" penned by Kris in 1968, recorded by Bill Nash. Kris put it on his first album in 1970. It remained unappreciated until Ray Price recorded his version also, that topped the charts for 9 weeks.

Kris Kristofferson tribute 2025 Day #1 of 10. As we approach one year since his passing, I'm going to do a ten day tribute to the amazing, talent and songwriting genius of Kris Kristofferson . This is Silver Tongued Devil from his 1971 album of the same name.

I haven't posted here in a while, but I am very proud of this. I scooped out a fly that was floating in my margarita. To my surprise he flew away. Both of us buzzed and happier.

Penned by P.F.Sloan 60 years ago , turned into the voice of a generation by Barry McGuire. Sad that we just don't seem to have learned the right lessons. Eve of Destruction.

More 60's protest songs PLEASE, because that's how far back we have digressed.

I could not possibly love this more. If every musician at every level played it Forward like this, and everyone else just stopped and clapped or sang along, then maybe music could really help in stopping hate.
One day a year, music rises from porches, rooftops, and street corners around the world.
No tickets. No stage. Just hearts, hands, and sound.
That day is coming.

IT'S YOUR BALLOT THAT ELECTS MPs - AND ULTIMATELY YOUR PM.

Canada didn't ask for this fight but we are on the front lines of the fight for democracy.
"To you from failing hands we throw.The torch be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die.We shall not sleep."
We won't break faith. Not now. Not ever.
