Kris was a veteran who was anti-war. Keith was a loudmouth piece of shit “patriot” who never did shit for anyone. The occasion was a concert for Willie Nelson’s birthday and Keith was needling Kristofferson about not singing any of that pansy peace stuff.
Kris Kristofferson is an American hero. His care and support for controversial women artists is beyond the pale. He’ll never be recognized for his impact even when he’s remembered with high esteem
I think probably none of the details matter, I just hope someone said it about one of those two guys.
“The “what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin’” quote, meanwhile, was supposedly said by Waylon Jennings about Garth Brooks, as part of an international country music beef of the decade previous.”
He said that about Toby Keith, not the almighty GARTH
Kris Kristofferson said that about Toby Keith.

Kristofferson was saying it about Kieth but his quote (reportedly) was

I shook my head.
“They’re doin’ to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin’.”
Jennings was (reportedly) talking about Brooks.
Garth wasn’t mentioned in that article. Toby was strutting past when Kris said that.
