It's amazing that even though he achieved a lot of success and fame he still has a shyness about him. You can tell he gets nervous when the focus is totally on him. He's clearly a very humble man.

Don’t forget stunningly handsome!!!

This is how a genuine country singer with a guitar should sound and so original. He’s an honest very intelligent man. I didn’t get into classic country that far back when he was in Nashville. Hank Williams is his hero. A true country music legend. Kris you’re a great country music legend and a movie star.

This is "Master Class" material and a template for how an artist interview should be done. Just plain fabulous!

I met Kris in the 80's. He took the wrong seat on a flight from Salt Lake to Seattle. My daughter and I introduced ourselves as he was easily recognizable and I was a huge fan. He moved to his correct seat when we compared boarding passes. He was extremely humble in this situation and seemed like a regular guy. I had seen him twice on stage in the late 70's. Both times he was opening for a Willie Nelson Concert. One of my favorites for sure.

Wow! Thanks for sharing these memories! Maybe he was going to the filming of Trouble in mind in Seattle (released in Dec 1985)? 🤔 Just thinking...

What a genuine nice handsome guy!! Sunday morning coming down is my absolute favorite song! This was a very entertaining interview!

Pure class. Unlike most of today’s so called “ leading artists “.

To me, after 40 years, He's still one of the best looking men I've ever seen! I know back in the 60's til today, the man could put those Ol boots under my bed any day! I don't care how old he is, He's like a fine wine, he looks better as he ages! The first movie I ever saw with him in it was A STAR IS BORN with Barbara Streisand! The first movie that I ever cried! I've seen that version at least 50 times, it never gets old to me! One of my all time favorite movies ever!!!

Before "A Star Is Born" I saw "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" twice at an Austin drive-in theater. One of those times we took our infant daughter with us. I was excited that Bob Dylan played a minor role as a young boy but I fell in love with Kristofferson and it's been a crush that has lasted a lifetime. He is gorgeously handsome and oozes sex appeal. I had the honor of getting his autograph and have a very brief conversation following a 2014 concert in Fort Worth. A line was waiting at the side door near his bus hoping to have a brief encounter with him. He signed every autograph. I was so excited that I touched his arm. I handed him a pen that wouldn't write. His roadie handed him another one. He was so patient and kind. I felt like an idiot for handing him a pen that didn't write but it remains a cherished memory.

He’s such a legend. One of the most interesting characters to come out of country music.

This is the greatest thing to listen to. It's nice to listen to his coming up the hard way. I never new he was a helicopter pilot, and the military, being a captain is just grest. I wish I could meet him. That would be great.

Chris and I are the same age --old---. He has been my favorite forever. I was lucky enough to see him in person 4 times. At the Kennedy Center, club on M St. in Washington, D.C., 6th St. synagogue in Washington, DC. and the Warner Theater in DC 8years ago. My dream would be to hear him once again but I don't think so. Sherry Starr Silver Spring, Md 20903

Kris is and always be my hero. His music influenced me to learn to play the guitar...Sunday morning coming down is the first and only song I've learned the words. My favorite song to play and listen to, to this day. Thank you Kris...

Kris Kristofferson is a legend!

What a great interview of a very pious man who learned to love GOD and afterwards his life changed dramatically for the good.

Kris is one of my HEROES! He’s written so many great songs. He’s not a good player. Not a great singer. But he just has the it factor of words and his voice working. He’s just a damn legend. Also, Ralph Emery was a damn legend as well. Such a great interviewer. He just makes it feel like sitting in a living room. I miss seeing him everywhere, which he was in my younger years. May he rest in peace.

Kris and Donnie Fritts (rip) two of my heros! I remember feeling down one night, when I got a surprise phone call from my friend who was invited to play guitar at Donnie's 75th birthday party in muscle shoals. All he said was listen to this.. it was Kris doing a sound check with his band, and played "me and Bobbie Magee" start to finish. What a great pick me up and suprise, I'll never forget that. What a gift Kris was blessed with!

Love Kris' music. I dragged my brother along to see him in London 2004 and couple of days before gig a group of men tried to rob me of money I'd saved up to see Kris but I fought them off and got a lovely black eye for my trouble anyway at bar at Apollo Kris wife and kids were there. I went toilet and came out and my brother was telling his wife and family about me n how much Kris' music meant to me and about my black eye. They loved my story when suddenly his wife took my t shirt I had brought and told me to wait. She had only got Kris to sign it for me and he was late on stage doing it for me. How kind of them. So so kind.

The other housemates we had had left early in the morning from New Braunfels to Canyon Lake where the concert was held. Given that this was the early ‘70’s, I remember most of the events of the day through a stoned haze.Kris and Willie had been my heroes and still are.

amen to that

I've been a musician for nearly 50 years and of all of the songwriters in my repertoire I know and play more Kris Kristofferson songs than any other songwriter. Kris is my musical hero and I personally think he's a much better songwriter than Bob Dylan.

No, “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” is not a lonely song, it’s a Spiritual song. For several years after Vietnam I practically lived on his first four albums. In there are some great lyrics about the life of the soul. He’s way under appreciated. I’m glad to hear he had such a great time with the Highwaymen. He deserved it. He’s by far the best interpreter of his own songs. “Why Me, Lord” and “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” had a big impact on my parents who were born-again Christians. My Dad got saved after flying 2,200 hours in WWII. His best friend was killed flying a B-29 in the Korean War. My mother, who was also a sincere believer, thought the lines about the can the kid was kickin’, the smell of someone fryin’ chicken, the song the Sunday school was singin’, the daddy swingin’ the laughin’ little girl, and the lonely bell a ringin’ were very, very moving. They liked, too, the pickin’ out the cleanest dirty shirt - which everybody in the whole country is using now and CNBC couldn’t even go on the air without it! A good interviewer would have asked Kristofferson how in the world anybody could’ve come up with such a great story and each and everyone of the evocatively brilliant lines! It’s a perfect song. Sorry, though, Ray Stevens doesn’t do as good a version. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJalqbmNqNrAdaQ.html
