RIP Kris Kristofferson

He lived to be 88 years old.
Interesting guy - a Rhodes Scholar and ex-husband of singer and FSU grad Rita Coolidge.
I was shocked when they said he was 88! I had no idea he was that old. Jeez, he was 12 years old when I was born, and I'm REALLY old!

Edit: He was actually 15! Yay, I'm not as old as I thought!

He was quoted once saying "Other people singing my songs sound way better than me singing them"
Also a helicopter pilot and rugby player. To get his first song recorded, he landed a helicopter on Johnny Cash's lawn and gave him a tape.
 
Dropping like flies- 😳
John Amos 83
Frank from American Pickers 60
Well, they do kinda "drop like flies" when they are over 80 years old.
Kris, Pete, John, etc.

The spooky part is having several friends that are 80-ish. I don't (yet).

But was she still praying for the dead?

LOL. I mean that in the kindest, non-sarcastic way. I just can't resist an easy punchline.

I'm not sure but about 6 weeks before she died, I went to the hospital to visit her and she asked me: "Is Jesus Christ still in the room?"

I was agnostic at the time and responded: "I'm not sure. I can't see him." :)
