On the road to Marin County

Anybody who’s seen the movie Cisco Pike knows that Kris Kristofferson’s a pretty good actor. He’s likeable, charismatic in a way that sneaks up on you, and able to convey the proper emotions most of the time. His facial expressions don’t change too much, though, which suggests that he might be better on radio, as of course he is.

BORDER LORD KRIS KRISTOFFERSON MONUMENT

He’s likeable, charismatic in a way that sneaks up on you, and able to convey the proper emotions most of the time. His facial expressions don’t change too much, though, which suggests that he might be better on radio, as of course he is. A bitch of a lyricist with a deep sonorous voice capable of expressing regret, wry humor and philosophical jags of varying profundity and pretension, he acts his way through his songs, playing himself or the derelict troubador he once was or would like to be with enough authenticity to make you forget that he actually possesses about IV2 melodies.
