Kris Kristofferson - Shipwrecked in the 80s (Live at Farm Aid 1985)
Музыка
Kris Kristofferson performs "Shipwrecked in the 80s" live at the Farm Aid concert in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

I'm a long time fan of Kris and met him and his family a few times and he definitely is not an so called ..alpha male.. where you get that idea from? That's everything he dislikes 🙄
This song has gotten me through some rough times. Thank you Kris your music has been a major part of my life.
IF YOU ARE A VIETNAM VET... Thanks for your service. If you know one of these heroes..tell them you are grateful.
A true master of his craft 👏
writer for real! much love
that bass player is really laid back and brilliant
*Kristoffersons still the king* 🔝 *Kris Pittsburgh loves U* 🙏
Kris starts his concerts with this song. For years already. Such a wonderful and touching masterpiece.

agreed his songs speak volumes
great song
Well you fight like the devil to Just keep your head above water Chained to whatever you got That you can't throw away And you're shooting through space On that river of life that you're riding And it's swirling and sucking you Deeper on down everyday. So you turn to your trusty old partner To share some old feelings And you find to your shock that Your faithful companion is gone (so long, Tonto) And the truth slowly dawns that you're Lost and alone in deep water And you don't even know how much longer There is to go on Like an old Holy Bible you've clung to For so many seasons With the rules of survival in words You could still understand. When they proved something wrong You believed in so long you go crazy And you're so close to foldin' the cards That you hold in your hand Singing, holy Toledo I can't see the light anymore (Hank Williams said that) All those horizons that I used to guide me are gone (I'm damn sure Van Morrison said that ...) And the darkness is driving me farther away from the shore (I said that.) Throw me a rhyme or a reason to try to go on. (Come on, Danny, throw me a line, baby!)

is he talking about funky Donnie Fritz?

That is one powerful song. I know KK was censored by the Reagan regime for years, back then. However, his "so long Bono", gives it new appeal, as it used to be "so long, Donny." I need to check it out a tad closer...Any help is welcomed!

@@linacrocetti he was directing the "so long" to his long-time manager who had passed away. That's what I read somewhere. He was in Nigaragua several times in the 1980s and his political engagement was not liked either by some fans and by the government. So he got some bad press which was not supportive for his carrier, especially as an actor but also for his music.
Never heard this one before.. It's good song ... Not very happy. But...what year was this Video made. Not to encourage it. Just curious.

Karen B: It looks like it was recorded live at Farm Aid in 1985. I just love everything Kris has ever done! I was lucky enough to meet him in Kansas City in 1974 or 75. He told me his sisters name was Karen, so you and I can both connect with that!

@@karenhall-gist6966 Karen didn't mean to rush off in transit. Now... I comment some weeks back. And was rushed. It is true Chris is extremly talented and well, when I see his videos from the early 80s ..OMG... Or as Kris might have said "Lord Help Me Jesus" anyway not sure if it was the song that cause me to post or seeing Him look So handsome. Again , I will have to review. This is not a good time. M y subway stop is next too.
