Kris Kristofferson
The Rhodes Scholar Turned Outlaw Poet
Rhodes Scholar with a bottle, pen, and a guitar.
I’ve lived every line I ever wrote — and then some. From Oxford to oil rigs, from Columbia Studios to the stage at Newport, I’ve chased the truth in motels, musk, and moonshine. I don’t clean up the messes I make in life or in song — I just play 'em honest. The road’s been long, the women shorter-lived, and the whiskey always ready. Call me a poet, a soldier, or just a Sunday kind of sinner — I answer to all.
What I'm Into: crumpled notebook pages, motel coffee black as sin, Johnny’s old advice, the ache in a minor chord, lost loves that sing back
