RIP #kriskristofferson ♥️ What a life and legacy. Had forgotten this story shared by #amandapalmer. It’s a great one of courage, strength and kindness.

Oh man…I just read. Rest in beautiful music, Kris Kristofferson. Remembered by many as powerhouse songwriter and dad of 8, no doubt he will forever be remembered by millions in my generation as the guy who went up to Sinéad O’Connor at a “Bob Dylan Birthday Concert” at Madison Square Garden in NYC in 1992…two weeks after she ripped up that picture of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live in protest of the cover-ups in the Catholic Church surrounding the sexual abuse of children. 

She was getting hard cancelled in this country. Fired off stages left and right and ditched by the industry. 

She went up to the mic to sing and she was literally boo’d by thousands of Americans. (There is footage, go google. It’s heartbreaking.)

Kris broke rank and walked out onto the stage, put his arm around her, and said in an interview later on RTE:

“I went out,” he recalled. “They told me to get her off the stage and I said, ‘I’m not about to do [that]. I went out and I said, ‘Don’t let the bastards get you down’. And she said, ‘I’m not down’ – and she sang. 

This right here. In a world of cowards, be this kind of hero. 

And may these kinds of heroes be rewarded for the actual bravery they display when the vocally punishing audience - and the music industry backstage - wants them to shut up. 

Do the right thing. Put your arm around people like this. 

Thank you Kris, for your songs, for your light, for your love. 

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.

Struggling with writer’s block? Remember, the key to creating something vast is to start small.

Focus on capturing the essence of a single moment. Pour your heart into the details, and soon you’ll find the universe within.
