Kris Kristofferson was a U.S. Army Ranger, Rhodes Scholar, and wrote songs for Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson among many.

He's also a lifelong, liberal activist who has given significant time and money to important causes he believes in.

He has lived a gigantic life, and done a helluva lot of good for a helluva lot of people.

Today, incredibly, he's 88. Happy Birthday, my good man!
