You're gonna have to explain that one to me. I never got Kristofferson? It's as if someone owed him a favor for writing a couple good songs (when others performed them) so they let him perform and be in a couple movies.

First off, Kristofferson, as a song writer has few equals.
I posted his version of Sunday morning because if you listen to the words, its pure poetry, and a beautiful tribute to Johnny Cash. KK was visibly breaking up in moments while performing the tribute, which I found touching.
Cash took that song and made it his own, just as Waylon took "To beat the Devil".
The Johnny Cash version of the song IS the song, in much the same way that the Hendrix version of Dylan's "All along the Watchtower" is.
It also has some really cool musical progressions, and is just a great all round song.

You see Kristofferson in that light? No wonder we are always at loggerheads . . . do you see Keanu Reeves and/or Tom Cruise in a similar hue?

Reread my original post questioning Kristofferson's singing and acting chops where I said he wrote some good music and then get back to me. Read, comprehend, think.
