The Reason Kris Kristofferson Landed a Helicopter on Johnny Cash’s Lawn Is Legendary

Once upon a time, the country star behind "Me and Bobby McGee" was just a janitor by the name of Kris Kristofferson. Before his passing in 2024, the three-time Grammy winner made an impact on the music industry thanks to his introspective Nashville sound. It wasn't just the fans who were into his music. Fellow musicians such as Johnny Cash and Janis Joplin have praised his songwriting. Apart from music, Kristofferson found fame on the silver screen after starring alongside Barbra Streisand in the 1976 version of A Star is Born; All this wouldn't have been possible had Kristofferson not done something so insane (and invasive), that it caught the attention of Cash.
