  1. FUCK. I grew up with the Highwaymen in my papaws old pickup. Kris was a legend that never got enough respect. Wish I’d been born just a bit sooner to see them all live.

  2. “We jeopardized our hole operation to save your puckered old-”

    “OUR operation?! OUR OPERATION?! I BUILT THIS OPERATION, YOU ASSWIPE!”

    RIP

  3. I think he might be the best actor/musician ever. A lot of people have done both but only excelled at one or the other. He is truly a legend in both fields. RIP

  4. Godspeed Kris Kristofferson.

    There’s only one highway man left, and when they go an entire generation says goodbye.

  5. I was a sailor

    I was born upon the tide

    And with the sea I did abide

    I sailed a schooner around the Horn to Mexico

    I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow

    And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed

    But I am living still

    RIP to one of the Highwaymen!

  6. I love Heaven’s gate.

    There’s a moment where Kristofferson’s character responds to the film’s villain revealing his plan by slapping him and telling him “we aren’t the same class – you have to die and be born again to be the the same class as me” before leaving to organize resistance that is amazing.

    Rip.

    RIP to a real one. Listen to his self-titled first album, it’ll always be one of my favorites.

  8. In the early 1980s, I was staying with my parents at a hotel somewhere on Long Island. My mother saw him in the pool and went over to say hi or whatever.

    Didn’t know who he was, just remembered the name all these years, figured he was a country music singer and that’s that. Anyway, she died a few months ago, and it’s fun to think maybe she’ll get to say “hi” to him again.
