Today Kris Kristofferson turned 85 years old. Everybody knows he's a great singer songwriter and a fine actor. I bet you didn't know he was a Rhodes Scholar, and taught at West Point and had a distinguished military career. He was a professor and a peace activist during the 60s and is an important environmentalist. Happy Birthday to a great man!

Happy Birthday, Kris.

I did not care for his genre, but his poetry -- both ion his formal poetry and in his songs -- has been notable.

I've known this for a long time. I also know about him and Joplin and I know the real words to Bobby McGee. Patty O'Neal (now deceased) sang that song better than Janis and she was the "Janis Joplin" of any entertainment hall she ever went into. I grew up with Patty. She sang backup with a lot of groups.

I'm a big fan.
