    I was about to post a semi-howler regarding Eric Adams from a few weeks ago -- only to note that it was corrected the last day or so.

    The New Yorker's legendary fact-checking continues -- only retrospectively.

    Kris Kristofferson

    in Goodbye

    You had to be around at the turn of the ‘60s into the ‘70s to understand how great he was.   Johnny Cash singing “Sunday Morning Coming Down”:  what honesty; what verbal precision.  Kristofferson wrote like a Rhodes scholar who’d worked as a janitor at a Nashville record company office — which was exactly what he was.

    The problem was when he started making his own records:  he couldn’t sing.  But who wouldn’t love to have written “Me and Bobby McGee”?  There were other people who could sing it  

    And if he wanted to be a movie star, well, who wouldn’t have wanted THAT?
