True story, Kris performed here at Murray State University not long after Why me Lord was released. Many folks attended expecting a Gospel concert. Kris and his band were several drinks in before taking the stage After several F bombs several people walked out with many women reading their husbands the riot act for "bringing them to see such filth" LOL. RIP Kris

I listened to him (and the Highwaymen-of whom, Willie is still around) all the way back on a ride from AZ to NM yesterday. Even Dylan accorded him major status as a songwriter, saying that he completely changed the country music landscape."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

Thanks Pilot, I just got home from the local store where they informed Willie was still around. For some reason I'd thought Willie had passed a yr. or so ago. I's fix'in to correct my mistake, but you beat me to it.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100

Saw Convoy as a kid, double feature with Hot Lead and Cold Feet if I remember right. Don't remember a thing about either."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

Sad to hear he's gone. He was one of the good guys. Not many of the old guard left.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.
