Kris Kristofferson and Bob Dylan Mutual Admiration – Happy Birthday Kris Kristofferson
“Dylan’s probably my biggest hero as an artist, songwriter and singer”
– Kris Kristofferson
We have chosen to take a look into the relationship between Kris Kristofferson and Bob Dylan, and as expected it is harder to find quotes from Dylan than Kristofferson.
Dylan and Kristofferson go back a long time. Kris Kristofferson was a janitor in a Nashville studio when Dylan was recording Blonde on Blonde in 1966. They both appeared in the 1973 film “Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid” and they have recorded and performed each others’ material. Dylan covered Kristofferson’s They Killed Him on his album, Knocked Out Loaded.
June 22: Bob Dylan – Can’t Wait, Milan, Italy 2011 (video)
I can’t wait, wait for you to change your mind
It’s late, I’m trying to walk the line
Well, it’s way past midnight and there are people all around
Some on their way up, some on their way down
The air burns and I’m trying to think straight
And I don’t know how much longer I can wait
Absolutely stunning version!
….next he did an absolutely superb version of ‘Can’t Wait’. Lights were back on and Bob was walking back and forth across the stage with only the mike and his voice; ‘ I can’t I can’t I can’t I can’t wait’, sung with amazing passion. I hope all get to hear the brilliance of this moment. ~David Walker (boblinks.com) |

May 24: Happy 78th Birthday Bob Dylan
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin’ high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
“We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I
Proud ’neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now–
he not busy being born is busy dying
Bob Dylan, the single most important artist in the history of popular music, is 78 years old today Tuesday, May 24.
