"Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down"... Remembering Kris Kristofferson and His Politics (G&R 327)

Green & Red: Podcasts for Scrappy Radicals

In the third installment of our Arts and Culture series, we talked about the life and politics of the late music legend Kris Kristofferson. We discussed his early life, his military service, his trajectory into the Nashville song writing scene, his music, his acting career and, of course, his politics. From his anti-war views on the American empire to his support of Mumia Abu Jamal and Leonard Peltier to his outspoken support of the Sandinistas and Palestinians. Kris Kristofferson was a legend who walked his talk. We will miss him, but never forget him. ------------------ Music// +Intro- "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Kris Kristofferson +Interlude- "Sandinista" by Kris Kristofferson +Outro- "Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down" by Kris Kristofferson Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
