Kris Kristofferson. Now playing the biggest stage.
The music is not my 'thing' but, to be going that long demonstrates that he made a lot of people happy to listen in. No small feat in any walk of life. As an actor he supported some of the biggest names with aplomb and dignity, he will be missed. Lights, music, action. RIP.- Foo Fighter
