“Rita Coolidge, Rita Coolidge cleft for me”
–Willie Nelson
Since it is still Texas Independence Day, I am gonna continue to bombast my Blog with Texans I admire.
Here is (in my mind) one of the greatest (and most misunderstood and underrated) Texans: Kris Kristofferson, Rhode’s Scholar, ruffian, redneck, poet.
He married well. Too bad it didn’t take. Rita Coolidge! He should have found a way to make that work…
Kris is best all around especially when he told Blake Shelton he would beat the shit out of Blake. Blake no dummy walked away
Here is something I did not know. Thank you for sharing!
Reblogged this on Texan Tales & Hieroglyphics and commented:
OK, I am due at the Air Port in four hours… killing time…regoggin’… sue me.. Kris K is the best Texan we did ever produce, and hell! Rita… well, Rita, what can I say?
I listened to this on my 45 too many times to count. Thanks for the flashbacks.
I remember when Kris hit bottom. Broke my heart. He should have stayed with Rita. Thank you Teela for reading and listening.
Blow up your blog with anything you want, I am enjoying every minute.
