The esteemed singer-songwriter behind “Me and Bobby McGee” and dozens of other hits was also memorable on the big screen in ‘Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore’ and ‘A Star Is Born.’
I’m sure he wouldn’t care for this, but I associate him most with the movie Millennium. I know it’s an objectively terrible movie, but I like it and I like him in it.
Hearing about this on a Sunday morning coming down seems appropriate
the last time there was a slate of dozens of celebrities that all died in the same year like this was 2016, and we know what happened that november, so, it doesn’t look good for the fate of the united states, and the rest of the world. buy batteries, plant vegetables.
Blood sacrifices to ensure victory?

That policeman said Mr. Cool If you’re not drunk then you’re a fool I said if that’s against the law Tell me why I never saw A man locked in that jail of yours Who wasn’t just as lowdown poor as me

Who was the other famous old country singer who died recently? I want to say he even resembled Kristofferson a bit.
You may be thinking of Toby Keith, who died in February.
Kenny Rogers?
Wikipedia says he died in 2020.
Is Kenny Rogers dead or does he just not know what condition his condition is in?
Maybe he folded his way right through death
Perhaps. I was thinking in the last 1-2 years. Maybe it was that long ago.
Well, that leaves Willie, last of The Highwaymen.
Chris is still sailing his schooner around the Horn of Mexico
Incredible talent. Not much of a singer, but a HELL of a songwriter.
All my rowdy friends done rowdied on down.
All the great song writers were mediocre singers. I’m talkin’: John Prine, Steve Goodman, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Neil Young, even Willie Nelson I would put in this category.

Dolly?
Dolly and Cash?

He’s probably locked up in a vampire basement somewhere
Is it a finished vampire basement? Is there a vampire rec room?
No, there’s nothing down there, just a shirtless incel that browses Vchan all day. Scared of flashlights for some reason
Boring. The vampires should at least have a ping-pong table or something. What if they wake up early?

He’s a poet, he’s a picker
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he’s stoned
He’s a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.The Pilgrim, Chapter 33
