Convoy was one of my favorite childhood movies. Didn't age that well last time I saw it but when you are 6 or 7 it was bad ass.

Also someone who doesn’t have time for mediocre country music “stars” pretending they’re tough via awful music.

Apparently Someone Does Remember the Toby Keith/Kris Kristofferson Incident

Did Toby Keith clash with Kris Kristofferson? Read Nashville Scene's investigation into the rumored altercation between these country music stars. Was it real or hearsay?

Willie Nelson is the of last Highwaymen now. RIP

My Nephew Andy was part of the production crew in the making of the movie Songwriter back in the 1980s starring Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson.

Andy was a free spirited pot smoker who found working with Kris and Willie to be a dream come true.

In contrast the film director found the duo somewhat difficult as such things as their antics and problems remembering lines delayed production schedules and ran up the costs.

Dispite good reviews, box office income ran well below production costs.

Andy didn't mind, having a high paying job for an extended period along with spending time with Kris and Willie was one of the best productions of his short career.

First I'm seeing this. You'd think it would be bigger news.

Definitely a Renaissance Man.

The Marine Commandant seemed to like the song.

"According to the Post, then-Commandant of the Marine Corps and future Supreme Allied Commander Gen. James L. Jones had told Keith outright that "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" was "the most amazing battle song I've ever heard in my life" and encouraged him to release the song as a single."

Americans Were Never Supposed to Hear Toby Keith's Ass-Kicking Post-9/11 Battle Song on the Radio

You know the one we mean. The commandant of the Marine Corps convinced him America needed it.

I was really surprised how actually small Kristofferson was physically (5'10" or so and 160 pounds) because the presence he had was so enormous.
