The story is brought right up-to-date as Kristofferson carries on working following heart bypass surgery and the death of his friends and fellow performers, including Johnny Cash, The Highwaymen, and Waylon Jennings.. Kris Kristofferson is one of country music's most illustrious singer-songwriters. Seemingly destined for a distinguished military career, ex-Golden Gloves boxer and Rhodes scholar Kristofferson gave it all up to sweep floors in Nashville, began to pitch his songs to his musical heroes, and finally became a star himself
