Happy Birthday to the man behind “Me & Bobby Mcgee,” Kris Kristofferson!
“The 1st time I heard Janis’ version was after she died. Afterwards, I walked all over LA in tears. I couldn’t listen to the song without breaking up. Every time I sing it I still think of Janis.” - Kris

Here is #kriskristofferson around the time I first realized he was my hero. Starring with the great Ellen Burstyn, directed by @martinscorsese_ in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.
I remember his song “Help Me Make It Through The Night” in the opening of John Huston’s brilliant, Fat City. Singing songs for Cesar Chavez and fighting for workers rights. Happy Birthday, Kris.
