JDIZZY's 365 # 250: The Pilgrim (Chapter 33)

The Pilgrim (Chapter 33) - Kris Kristofferson (1971)

The Rhodes Scholar of country music names a lot of influences at the beginning of this track. Johnny Cash, Dennis Hopper, Ramblin' Jack Elliot and Jerry Jeff Walker all get equal time in this tale of a rogue/savior poet. You will be hard pressed to find a better couplet in popular music than "And he keeps right on a'changin' for the better or the worse/Searchin' for a shrine he's never found/Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse/Or if the goin' up was worth the comin' down".

This might make all the cat videos on youtube worth it. This clip should be studied in history classes!
