KK was kind to Sinéad O’Connor when she was getting hollered at during her song at that Bob Dylan concert. He told her not to let the bastards get her down. I will always appreciate him for that encouragement.
Saw him live about 8 years ago. Just him and a guitar. He was wearing running shoes. He played for 45 minutes. Said he was going to take a break. Came back after 10 minutes and I thought he’d play for another 20 minutes tops. He played another 40 minutes or so. I took my father in law who was just a few years younger. When Kris played Me and Bobbie McGee I looked at my FIl and he was crying.
I’m not into either or these two artist’s music but just imagine Kris Kristofferson a legend of the music world coming out on stage to comfort & support you!
Just read an article being from the Magdalene Laundries.. wow. So much abuse.. church and state run.. I can see why she tore up a picture of the pope. She earned it
Kristofferson, the only person at a rock concert besides Sinead that remembered rock and roll is not about pop rock bullshit, but about protesting against The Man, and protesting the head of a global child trafficking, child porn, child molesting ring like the Catholic church is about as rock and roll as it gets.
RIP Kris Kristofferson.
But, as always, there’s more than one side to this story.
I remember an interview with Sinéad in Q magazine not long after where she suggested that she found his attempt to support her patronising. Years later, on Twitter, she alluded to them having a brief affair.
This was her response when this picture was shared by a fan on Twitter ( posting as @magdadavitt77)
“I would not agree Kris wasn’t toxically masculine. He took full advantage when he got the chance and then immediately turned nasty…”
He may have been trying to do the right thing at the time but the response might not have been one you’d have expected. Only Kris and Sinéad would know what really happened.
“don’t let the bastards get you down” is what he is saying.
RIP to these two 🕊️🕊️
He’s the real deal.
Kris Kristofferson had an amazing life. Read his Wikipedia page. It’s nearly unbelievable.
This was my comment at r/70s:

A gentleman in the truest sense of the word.
May he rest in peace.
He wrote a fantastic song about her, Sister Sinead. Godspeed both of them, that kind of moral courage seems rare today.
Anyone remember how Joe Pesci ranted about her and said he wanted to slap her because she “insulted” the Pope? Yeah, fuck that guy.

You’d feel like you could take on the world!

Another highwayman put to rest, Farewell.
Class act. Full stop.

Two people that have more courage than Madonna, Joe Pesci, Loren Michaels, and all the people that attacked her and defended the Pope.
The Catholic Church should strip Pope JP2 of his sainthood. He would be burning in hell for what he let happen
He was a gentleman through and through. His advice was priceless ❤️💔
Connor- “This guy covered up child rape!”
America- “You’re evil I hate you!”
Love to see people on the right side of history. Contrast this with Joe Pesci.
Powerful photo
Legends
It’s hard to imagine a time when people took the Catholic church seriously. The world has changed.
Artists respect artists. And she was right.
Two angels side by side !!!!
Never seen this before. In the last day or so anyway.
God love’em both R.I.P.
he knew she was right
RIP Kris Kristofferson
Sinead was a godsend
He will be missed
“Listen, fuck these mutherfuckers”
Is the world gonna apologize to her orrrrr
“Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.”
Why she was booed?
Watching convoy in his memory tonight, my favorite movie as a kid
RIP Kris Kristofferson.

Rest in peace King🙏👑.
Class act.
Fuck the pope.
RIP both of them.
I’ve seen this photo multiple times. Does anyone know what he said?
Why was she getting booed?
What were they booing for?
Such an iconic and heartfelt moment.
The live Bob Dylan double album is one of my favourites
