We discussed his early life, his military service, his trajectory into the Nashville song writing scene, his music, his acting career and, of course, his politics. From his anti-war views on the American empire to his support of Mumia Abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier to his outspoken support of the Sandinistas and Palestinians.

Kris Kristofferson was a legend who walked his talk. We will miss him, but never forget him.
