RIP KK..."For the good times". Ray Price sang it so well too.

 

Pretty good actor as well.
I'm not sure how I found this movie last year, but I watched it.
I don't regret it, a bit cheesy, but it was 1984..
Flashpoint (1984) - IMDb

 

Kris Kristofferson, the singer and songwriter whose literary yet plain-spoken compositions infused country music with rarely heard candor and depth, and who later had a successful second career in movies, died at his home on Maui, Hawaii, on Saturday. He was 88.

Mr. Kristofferson’s breakthrough as a songwriter came with “For the Good Times,” a bittersweet ballad that topped the country chart and reached the Top 40 on the pop chart for Ray Price in 1970. His “Sunday Morning Coming Down” became a No. 1 country hit for his friend and mentor Johnny Cash later that year.



Mr. Kristofferson is survived by Lisa (Meyers) Kristofferson, his wife of over 40 years; their sons, Jesse, Jody, Johnny and Blake; and a daughter, Kelly Marie; a son, Kris, and daughter, Tracy, from his marriage to Ms. Beer; and a daughter, Casey, from his marriage to Ms. Coolidge; and seven grandchildren.

RIP Kris Kristofferson (The Duck)

For The Good Times

and Ray named his boat that name too but you already knew that.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends

 

RIP

 

I grew up listening to Kristofferson. I can only say that the two most influential musicians of my life
have passed now. Kristofferson and Lightfoot.
Thank you Gentlemen for giving me a soul.

 

RIP Pete Rose

 

Nooo, not Charlie Hustle

 

I wonder if they'll let him into the Hall of Fame now.

 

His playing days effort shouldn't keep him out, but gambling on his own team as a manager is verboten. I personally think he should get in.

 

At least he be on his own team to win. If he’d bet on them to lose, and they did lose, that would be problematic.

 

Just keep in mind it was NEVER proven it was the OPINION of the Commissioner at that time. Hopefully they will change that and vote him in.

 

Pete publicly admitted that he bet on baseball but never against the Reds in 2004.

 

(not laughing at her death, just thought of her personality and accent)

I remember hearing her on radio a ways back..

 

Hopefully

 

^^^ This right here is the difference

It's really no different than any sports professional, athlete, soldier, first responder, etc. does each and every day they put the uniform on... they go to work expecting to and 'playing' to WIN! Unfortunately, he also expressed his expectations in a way that wasn't allowed, and he's paid for it.

It's time to allow the man's exceptional performance throughout the course of his career to be recognized.

 

Holy Cow! Just saw that about
John Ashton

RIP John Ashton,,,,

YES

I’m in the middle of nowhere with dang arthritic fingers and spell check it’s about to drive me nuts! I thought I was reading Astin but it was saying he turned 94 and did not pass away. My dum fault!! Sorry about that, I need to do a better job checking what I am doing! And reading! and typing!
What a mess,,, then it came out different three times typing it too!

Sorry about that

thinking I best refrain from this for awhile before I cause troubles! It takes many times to get anything right typing and get facts straight! Unbelievable!
