Killin' Everything They Say They're Fightin' For
Go watch Kris Kristofferson's new music video, "." It's also one of the featured songs on Neil Young's Living With War Today website. Kristofferson, the writer of such gems as Me And Bobby McGee and Sunday Morning Coming Down and is now 69 years old and he's still capturing the essence of his time with his bare bones lyrics and melodies. The Rhodes Scholar and almost West Point professor, who wrote "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose," still has some mighty things to say. Things that need saying at a time when our actions are ensuring that way too many people have nothing left to lose, in the worst possible sense this time.

Wonderful song. There are so few musicians anymore who can write lyrics like that, with real meaning. Time for the singer-songwriter to return. We need more of this.

Neil Young's Living With War site is really great. Video, protest songs, updated frequently. I've always loved Kris' music. His acting too.
