    Kris Kristofferson said that about Toby Keith.

    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

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

      “You know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him?” he whispered.

      I shook my head.

      “They’re doin’ to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin’.”

      Jennings was (reportedly) talking about Brooks.
