Reminds me of a great Kris Kristofferson song: The Taker
He's a giver he'll give her the kind of attention that she's never known
He's a teacher he'll teach her to open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover he'll love her in ways that she never has been loved before
He's a getter he'll get her by gettin' her into the world she's been hungerin' for
He's a charmer he'll charm her with money and manners that I never learned
He's a leader he'll lead her across pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn
He's a talker he'll talk her right off of her feet but he won't talk for long
Cause he's a doer and he'll do her the way that I'd never, be damned if he won't do her wrong
Cause he's a taker he'll take her to places and make her
Fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul that she gives him
He'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her, takin' all of her pride as she goes
Yes he's a taker...

You are exalted for quoting the great man. Why thank you, sir. He has indeed written a lot of very good songs. |

Are you counting the Silver Tongued Devil as the first? Or Me and Bobby McGhee?
They are both still on my regular playlists.
Some decent movie roles too. Jeff Bridges seems to want to be like him!

I thought MABM was his first? Yeah, but while a fair few music stars have been in films (and he's been in shit loads), but very few have: - played rugby (in America FFS) - got a Rhodes scholarship - got a boxing blue at oxford - flown helicopters in the army - been offered a professorship (not an honorary one) before they started out! (FACTS FFS!) |

Well, I didn't know about the rugby or the boxing or the professorship.*
I once met his cousin who told me he had been disowned by his father and really lived through much of the stuff he wrote about in MABM.
Said cousing was later caught up with by Interpol and is currently serving somewhere at someone's pleasure for multiple fraud in multiple countries so I don't know what to believe (he married my girlfriend's sister of the time).
* so one karma point to you!
