Thread Name: Kris Kristofferson & 'the lady'
Subject: RE: Kris Kristofferson & 'the lady'
I remember seeing Kris Kristofferson playing at the huge Isle of Wight festival in 1971.He played witha countryish band and was excellent !Unfortunately he was booed by quite a big section of the crowd,mainly I think because he played a song called Blame It On The Stones which I think was seen as an attack on that band when it was a humourous and ironic attack on reactionary views!! I think also that country music in rock arenas was quite rare in those days and that also contributed to his less than warm welcome. Kris is a brilliant performer and also a fine actor and I would reccomend the Film Lone Star directed by John Sayles in which he plays a prominent role.
