Update: Lisa Robbins of Sunrise, Florida is the contest winnter. She wrote: “The one song that stands out for me is ‘Duvalier’s Dream’…The line that grabs me is ‘betrayed by his own body, and hunger of his soul.'”
Hi There !!
I don’t know where to start with Kris Kristofferson. My real connection was when I started with Rita Coolidge. I played her album hundreds of times, This Lady’s Not For Sale, which helped me through my first divorce in 1976. The night my divorce was final I bought a bottle of tequilla & parked in an empty shopping parking lot & got drunk & cried listening To Rita. She was my medicine at the time. I love Rita & I’ve seen her perform at one of the casinos in Tunica & she was great.
I saw Kris Kristofferson perform in a popular Country Music nightclub(can’t remember the name of the place) in Augusta,Ga. on Washington Rd around 1990-1991.When I went to see him I was going through my 2nd divorce. I went with my ex-sister-in-law & we had a blast. The only thing was I was trying to get up close to the stage to take Kris’ picture & this female person, which at the time I called “bitch” put her fingers in front of my camera. Was I mad???????????? Oh, yeah & I’m sure you know what I almost did but because I was a medical assistant & I couldn’t loose my job(2nd divorce) I behaved.. But I thought Kris’ was great to listen to & great to look at!!!!!!!!!! Maria in TN
