Reading through the post, wow. Religion at it s best. Mine's right, your' s is wrong. Same old same old. Very tiring. Organized religion is sometimes a very evil thing. 9/11 for instance. The Murders of John, Bobby and Martin as well as Malcom X. All in the name of Religion. Well, indeed we killed them all. We should be a happy and proud bunch of people. But, nay, we have to continue. This is a world problem and a religion problem, therefore an US problem. Good song and message. LEARN
so condem all for the top do u condem america for trusting benedict arnold huh think about it dumb ass dont condem for somethin you aint 100 percent sure ok the people who write those books are ppl like u who are anti everything they dont belive is wright why cant u look at good in people eh ass
LOL Take that Dylan, Young and all the other so called political protesters. This one drove it home. Even the other Legends on stage applauded. Kris was and is a hell of a writer. Brings it to the front every time.
@Toober1969 It made more sense back then. The problems with John Kennedy's presidency didn't come up until long after his death, and besides, Robert was a good man and was killed unjustly. He deserves a mention in this song alongside Dr. King at least.
@cheapassassin Look asshole, unless you've spent some time over there do us all a huge favor and shut the fuck up. My comment was not directed at or towards you
Kris did not write this song. Bob Dylan did. I do not aspire to most of Kris' politics and what he supports, but the man is a brilliant songwriter and musician.
@ACBass912 "They Killed Him" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson for his 1985 album Repossessed.
It is a tribute to his martyred personal heroes, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohandas Gandhi, and Jesus. The song was covered a year later by Bob Dylan for his 1986 album Knocked Out Loaded.
Are you people here to argue about religion? I come here to listen to good music. The Highwaymen bring that music to us. In my mind, all you religious people are here on this earth for the wrong reason, listen to God and he will guide you.
if he had just left the Kenndys out of it i have have a hard time comparing JESUS CHRIST ALL MIGHTY TO ANYONE however Kris wrote it and i still like it to and extent
I wish just for once we could go watch a video without having to read a political or religious fight. Sick of that shit. I know for a fact Waylon was a diest, he believed in more than one god. So do I. Why don't you people shut the fuck up and enjoy the music.
@DonnyShort1 a deist simply believes that there IS a god, whether he/she's God or Jehovah or Buddha or Zeus or Allah.. there is a DEIty. see DEIst?. what you are possibly thinking of is a polytheist, if Waylon believed in more than one god.. the native americans were polytheistic, as were the ancient greeks and the shinto and wicca. believers in a singular deity are monotheistic, those who worship god(S) are polytheistic, and those who worship none at all are A-theist .
@DonnyShort1 definitions (cont'd). The A-theist believes that there isnt a god or gods. kind of like A-political or A-sexual or A-typical. just my $0.02
well i tell you i liked it up until he started talkin about m.l.k being a holy man. that mutha was far from holy. he had a prostitute habit in nashville and montgomery f.b.i. tapes prove it. so sick of hearing about that mutha i thought kris was smarter than this!
@salamonetalton WE are not perfect, would you like someone to start going thru your life? I know I wouldn't come out too well. That is why Christians believe in Christ's sacrifice for our sins. He was "The Perfect Lamb of God". Ghandi wasn't all he was cracked up to be. Partitioned India, ethnic cleansed the Muslims, war crime today! He also believed in the Hindu caste system, slaves are slaves are slaves, including all the future generations. So as I said, none of us are perfect.
@vwreinvention I have had a look, yes. I do try to check these things out before writing. If Hindu, then he believed in the caste system, did partition , ie, move the Muslims, as I said, ethnic cleansing. A man of peace assuredly, but with faults as we all are. The only Holy man was, is, Christ.
@pessimist131313 Sorry? I do not get what you are trying to say.We know Jesus was born into a Jewish family, & I think Biblically that it states that we are saved through the "Jew First." Abraham, (Abram), was chosen to start the Hebrew people, but even he disobeyed from the get go. Took a relative with him when he was told to "Leave family & friends & travel to a foreign country."
@rafhenlow: Wow you really do know nothing about Gandhi. Plus you are a religious zealot / evangelist. Just because you are a Christian, doesn't mean you can demean all other holy men like Buddha, Siddhartha, Shankaracharya, Vivekananda, and a hundred others. My advise to you is to first come up to speed, a basic minimum level of knowledge before you make big statements - else it will reflect poorly on you.
@vwreinvention I am sorry if I have upset you & your gods, your Holy men, sorry I misspelt Gandhi. As I have mentioed, we are not all perfect. Tell me again, how was moving Muslim community to make Pakistan not ethnic cleansing. Also, Gandhi belonged to a caste system that demeans everyone, especialy women, & condems you to the caste you are born to. As for the others you have mentioned, you have more gods than enough, even an extra in case you have forgotten one. Me, I have one. God/Christ.
@deceiver123m Sorry to burst your bubble, (& what is it with calling people names?) ,Father, Son, (Jesus), Holy Spirit, (Ghost). The 3 in 1 making the Godhead. So this makes Jesus my God, Brother. "Making Himself less than God", He came to dwell with us. I haven't my Bible handy at the moment, at work on lunch break, so I do not want to misquote, but there are other examples. There is only one God, "Nothing was made that was not made by Him, thruogh Him, for Him."
@deceiver123m You don't seem to understand what you have written, apart from the normal mindless abusive remarks, which are of course a sin, so how do you intend to get them foregiven? Entity, 'something that exists as a seperate thing'. To me that entity is Spirit, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, making the Godhead. We are made in the Fathers image. Body, conscience, soul, (spirit), we are just unable to seperate the three. We are told not to judge, you are, so another sin. Not doing to well are you.
@rafhenlow im doing great, i belive in ONE single omnipotent God, a vengeful and jealous god at that, and he does not share his throne. While you are worshipping dozens of gods it seems, u probably think the virgin mary also deserves ur worship. So you see i will be fine for i believe in my one God, while you keep trying to worship a large variety of gods
@deceiver123m I also have a single omnipotent God, only mine is a loving God who sacrificed Himself for my sins, past, present, & future. I do not have dozens of gods, I am not a Catholic, (Mary). Gen:3;15, womans seed, women have eggs, ie virgin birth, 3:22, "Behold man ---like one of Us.", plural. You will find that plurality also in Gen.1:26. "Let Us make man in Our image--Our likeness." I have no time or space to go through the whole of the Holy Bible with you, but will help where I can.
@rafhenlow and although i was going to sin further and use more profane language- a feeling from deep in my heart tells me that i know im being a jack ass by using insults, so i apologize for that... but i still think u ought to go back to worshipping a single god. But i wont continue any insults, you are correct in pointing out that immaturity on my part.
@deceiver123m the highway men were catholics and believed in the blessed virgin Mary, no I'm just kidding...who cares god is god in the end and god himself can look beyond our indifference and deliver us in that time of need.
@MrLinolinares Catholics are piece of shit that deserve to die anyone who claims to be a catholic and takes the Vatican and the pope seriously are morons who deserve to be killed along with their loved ones....nothing about the catholic church today and historically is pious, which they claim to be...
@MrLinolinares yea its too badim not catholic my family isnt that stupid we are lutheran who broke off from the catholic church because of their known corruption....yea its too bad that you can make jokes about people in positions of authority committing sex crimes against children and getting away with it...while its a fact that the current pope some time ago signed a policy that they keep all instances of sexual abuse secrete even to investigators....hmmm but catholics are good right??? nope..
@MrLinolinares ? why would i care who they worship? isnt this america?? ooo wait i get it you people are for freedom as long as they are people who look and think just like you. now i get it hypocritical americans thats it i should have known a bunch of idiot american hypocrites
@ilovealexjones1 u think all catholics are bad huh i am 15 work at 2 ranches to help my family have a busten knee and bad back from work dont condem every catholic for somethin someone else does ok
@corndog1113 yes catholics are bad...why dont you look up the history of your religion, and the Vatican...look up the hypocrisy of the organization you support....you dumb fuck...i condemn every catholic because at the top they are corrupt, hypocritical, and evil....just look at the history of your religion and all those who your religion has victimized....you dumb fuck...the Vatican does not care about jesus or his teachings they are only there for the power and money....small minded ass wipe
@ilovealexjones1 have you never made a mistake that you have learned from????? do you thing other countries should think that all US citizens are fucking pieces of shit or just some of our leaders that claim to represent us! the word humble is not far from the word hypocrite in the dictionary so maybe you should check them both out!!
@boogra23 ummm my "mistakes" havent caused the deaths of literally millions of people...my "mistakes" havent caused the extortion of wealth, for spiritual promises my "mistakes" havent resulted in the oppression of women, blacks, children, non believers, gays, scientists, to name a few. my mistakes are not made over teh course of millennium. the catholic church and its Vatican is all corrupted and is evil to the core....but you morons still continue to support it and send your money there.
@rafhenlow - While it is true no one is perfect, your statements about Gandhi are very, very inaccurate. You have clearly not studied him. Btw, you've even misspelled his name.
@TheTerminator97 Your words are typical for people who don't know very much about the word and history. People who don't know how to handle their own life and try to find the guilt for it at other people. start to learn.
All that matters here is that The Highwaymen were the best group in the world.I'm sad cause Johnny and Waylon left us but i'm glad we still got Kris and Willie.They will live forever trough their music
The four of them will never be forgotten. His Sunday "mornin comin down" by JC is one of the best I ever heard and I'm 76. Been in country since I was a kid, but no matter how good a song is you still have to beat the doors down to get someone to listen. Cash without ever listening to it threw it out the car window when his wife first gave it to him. Luckly Kris knew what he had and was presistant enough to hire a heilocopter to drop it on Cashs lawn. That was a beautyfull place, it burned.
Great song. Check out Floyd Red Crow Westerman's version of this tune on here. It is listed as Just Another Holy Man. The begining of the clip is some dude talking but Floyd comes on a bit later. It is worth a look see. Search using his name and ye shall find.
Aside from the fact that this is a fantastic song from a group of legends I'd love to introduce this song to people who think there's nothing to country music but beer drinking and pick up trucks.
I always speak from the heart and I always try to speak with honesty and conviction as well. This song is filled with all of those things and it gave me a newfound respect for Kris Kristofferson as a song writer and as an artist. If only everyone COULD hear this song, REALLY hear it, then the world would be changed.
I see where you were going. sorry. I was listening to the song as I was reading. and i can barely walk and chew bubble gum:) yeah you can love someone to death and then when they are gone....
Cashfan I love your videos and respect you but do you think we loved them too much or do you think they loved us enough.....to die? Kris recites a vs that sez no greater love has any man than to die for a friend.
Got to see the Highwaymen a thousand or so years ago in Cleveland Oh and have been looking for this song off and on over the years as it made an impact on me perhaps only I can understand. Thanks for posting.
FFS why not listen to the music and stfu I did not come to get a bible lesson. Save it where it supposed to be private. Legens on stage and you goofs are preashing about something that has a different interpretation to the indivual!
We ARE listening to the music, and the LYRICS too. That's where all of the questions came from in the first place and that's a good thing, don't you tnink!?! I'd say the Highwaymen hit a nerve and are proud to see that people actually THINK because of their music.
What I mean is that the new testament is just a selection - but by whom? Those in power and I bet they chose whatever served their purpose. It's allways about power, but religion should be a private thing, I think.
Maybe you should find out instead of making assumptions about them.
I don't agree with privatised religion. It should be between friends. It's a communal experience. When it gets much bigger than that it starts being political and that is a problem.
Did Jesus really claim to be God? Son of God maybe more right. History is just interpretation, and history is all we have. And about the disciples - who decided who's a disciple and not? There are more to read than the selections chosen, when? And why?
"the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God." (John 5:18)
"5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." 6Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7"Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" (Mark 2:5-7)
I'm embarrassed to say that I just heard this song for the first time, now my favorite.

@ilovealexjones1 have you never made a mistake that you have learned from????? do you thing other countries should think that all US citizens are fucking pieces of shit or just some of our leaders that claim to represent us! the word humble is not far from the word hypocrite in the dictionary so maybe you should check them both out!!

@boogra23 ummm my "mistakes" havent caused the deaths of literally millions of people...my "mistakes" havent caused the extortion of wealth, for spiritual promises my "mistakes" havent resulted in the oppression of women, blacks, children, non believers, gays, scientists, to name a few. my mistakes are not made over teh course of millennium. the catholic church and its Vatican is all corrupted and is evil to the core....but you morons still continue to support it and send your money there.

Amazing how little you know, not about Gandhi but also about everyone outside your own little rock. Stunning ignorance.

@rafhenlow - While it is true no one is perfect, your statements about Gandhi are very, very inaccurate. You have clearly not studied him. Btw, you've even misspelled his name.

The four of them will never be forgotten. His Sunday "mornin comin down" by JC is one of the best I ever heard and I'm 76. Been in country since I was a kid, but no matter how good a song is you still have to beat the doors down to get someone to listen. Cash without ever listening to it threw it out the car window when his wife first gave it to him. Luckly Kris knew what he had and was presistant enough to hire a heilocopter to drop it on Cashs lawn. That was a beautyfull place, it burned.

Great song. Check out Floyd Red Crow Westerman's version of this tune on here. It is listed as Just Another Holy Man. The begining of the clip is some dude talking but Floyd comes on a bit later. It is worth a look see. Search using his name and ye shall find.

I always speak from the heart and I always try to speak with honesty and conviction as well. This song is filled with all of those things and it gave me a newfound respect for Kris Kristofferson as a song writer and as an artist. If only everyone COULD hear this song, REALLY hear it, then the world would be changed.

We ARE listening to the music, and the LYRICS too. That's where all of the questions came from in the first place and that's a good thing, don't you tnink!?! I'd say the Highwaymen hit a nerve and are proud to see that people actually THINK because of their music.

What I mean is that the new testament is just a selection - but by whom? Those in power and I bet they chose whatever served their purpose. It's allways about power, but religion should be a private thing, I think.
Nussekudden 3 years ago
Maybe you should find out instead of making assumptions about them.
I don't agree with privatised religion. It should be between friends. It's a communal experience. When it gets much bigger than that it starts being political and that is a problem.
DiaboloMootopia 3 years ago
Did Jesus really claim to be God? Son of God maybe more right. History is just interpretation, and history is all we have. And about the disciples - who decided who's a disciple and not? There are more to read than the selections chosen, when? And why?
Nussekudden 3 years ago
Yes
"the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God." (John 5:18)
"I and the Father are one." (John 10:30)
"5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." 6Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7"Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" (Mark 2:5-7)
