that is an awesome story!!
btw an aerosmith cover of this would be great imo
have considered it, most recently in response to this thread. but the "start sobbing mid-line" thing might be a problem

this fuckin song
love the randomness of the selection of the characters, the no-thread runnin through it that still holds it together somehow. Aero otm, the melody is just ridic suggestive of import and meaning beyond the words, until that last verse just comes in and goes for home run of fuckin nuttiness, johnny's a spaceman now huh well fuckit i guess if louis l'amour can write about interdimensional rifts then all bets are off hallelujah just roll with it mysticism

KK's my boy; you can't slag anyone who wrote "Sunday Morning Coming Down" or "Me & Bobby McGee".
So it's no fault of his own that compared to the rest of the Highwaymen, Kris was Clayton Wilbury.

you gotta be able to sift gold writer kris from schlock writer kris and hope with every finger and toe crossed that the kris who sings the pilgrim shows up to sing the works of the former, and not the guy who sings 'one more time with feeling' singing the collected ouevre of the latter

it was weird to vote against Willie (whose verse is better written, I think) but Waylon just possesses his verse
that live version Tyler links is INCREDIBLE, thank you for that
