Where did that quote come from? Making shit up like an atypical deep fever swamp nutter? I guess when you got nothing else . . . good luck going down the little rabbit hole you've created for yourself.I'm not defending his acting abilities,
I'm questioning your thought process.
I posted facts regarding his writing abilities and his acting.
You make asinine proclamations as if you're some how qualified.
You should just say...
"If you overlook the fact that he's in two song writing all's of fame and has a Golden Globe Award for best actor, I think he's over rated."
Kinda like not knowing he's a Rhodes Scholar, while saying he's not the brightest guy around.
Carry on duck...

People do like what they like. I can appreciate that.
I can appreciate not commenting on something one knows little or nothing about.
Perhaps you can explain to Duck what a Golden Globe Award for best actor is...
I agree with Kristofferson's politics. I see him as stiff and laboring as an actor. When I see him onstage with The Highwaymen he seems the weak link (again JMHO). He has a way with words, is well traveled and deserves respect for his views . . . just no fan of his delivery, on stage or on screen. We do all have a right to our opinions right? Of course when taken out of context or when false quotes are attributed that's not actually my opinion, just the ramblings of a butt-hurt buffoon. Does LE really think no one notices?For me personally, to win a Golden Globe... would likely be the pinnacle of my career.
That said, in the bigger picture of art you have to differentiate between "Pop Art" (I.e. what your peers think is important right now) and "Great Art."
Even if Husker says he doesn't like KK, he obviously knows who he is and could name some of his songs. So I think we all agree that he's achieved Pop Art Fame. Yet that says nothing about if KK is worthy of Great Art Fame; where people will still know his name in 500 years like Homer or Shakespeare. And none of us in here reading this are going to live long enough to see that question answered.
But to be honest, on the Great Art question I'm probably with Husker with regard to Kristofferson and doubt his work will stand the test of time and anyone who doesn't get it is a dope. He's written some great songs and seems like a person other people like being around. But he's far from the end all be all.
You canʻt help it. Your IPD keeps you from seeing your own bitternessYour built up resentment is your issue.
Why are most of 4 no's video's white guys doing songs originally done and/or written by colored fellows?
I hope he got help for his drinking problem.KK summarized his acting effort in ASIB - ""I had a half-gallon of Jose Cuervo in my trailer and they never let it empty. They just kept coming back in and filling it up, same half-gallon bottle. I don't know how much I was drinking, but it was a lot, and I had to quit it soon after.."
Duck knows more about KK now than he did when he started blathering...For me personally, to win a Golden Globe... would likely be the pinnacle of my career.

Once again your comprehension comes into question Duck...Where did that quote come from? Making shit up like an atypical deep fever swamp nutter? I guess when you got nothing else . . . good luck going down the little rabbit hole you've created for yourself.
Finally three or four chances into it, you make a reasonable, well articulated post.I agree with Kristofferson's politics. I see him as stiff and laboring as an actor. When I see him onstage with The Highwaymen he seems the weak link (again JMHO). He has a way with words, is well traveled and deserves respect for his views . . . just no fan of his delivery, on stage or on screen. We do all have a right to our opinions right?

Never disparaged his song writing. He can't act and his singing is suspect, IMHO. Tomato, tomotoe . . . some say Andy Warhol was a genius, I don't see that either.Duck knows more about KK know than he did when he started blathering...
His songs will stand up over time, cause artists continue to sing them and have hits with them.
