Country legend Kris Kristofferson celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a visit to his old haunt, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville, TN (client interest). Introduced to the stage by a reverent John Rich (half of the duo Big and Rich), Kristofferson took the stage to perform one of his most popular hits Me and Bobby McGee - recorded by Roger Miller and his ex-girlfriend, Janis Joplin. He also recounted one of the most popular stories of the past how Tootsie herself used to eject patrons of her bar by sticking them with her hat pin. In front of a packed crowd, Kristofferson was enthusiastically welcomed home to the famous stage on Lower Broadway. Also enjoying the show from the famous front corner booth was Rascal Flatts member, Jay DeMarcus, and Muzik Mafias Two Foot Fred.

  • 73, and he still is so great and amazing - check his new album!

  • GG, you needn't be angry on them, it's a waste of time, they just don't know; but what I'm wondering about is that "audience" (it actually is no audience, cause they don't listen - so, what is it??), they just know half a line of Me and Bobby McGee - so what are they doing at a place like this while Kris is singing???? What would I pay or do just to be that near to Kris while he was singing...

  • Kris Kristofferson has been sober since 1976. He's 76, tired, and performing to an audience of obnoxious ingrates.

  • @girlgeorgeberk Thank you for posting this. I have been a huge fan since I was a little girl. Would have loved to been there to see this. God Bless KK..

  • For those of you who don't know it Kris was not drinking. He hasn't had a drink in years. That was what ended his marriage to Rita. At 73 he doesn't have the stamina he used to. Kris is a true Icon. There were a lot of really rude people in that bar and I think it affected his performance. Everyone there should have shown respect for him

  • Kris you are the "BEST" singer, songwriter of all time! you ROCK! Ms. Wanda loved you forever and ever ...AMEN.  Rock on my friend.

  • People, Yes he was wiped out. So be it. Does that take away from his greatest efforts? No, I don' t think so. Tootie' s is a party anyway. Get real. In the ville after 10 o clock pm you be headin to Tootsie' s . Best party in town.

  • most confident and least capable...Kris is rat arsed and he knows it..it might have been better if the other guys had played along...he's an American icon and I'm still a fan but he might have been wiser to stay by the bar....drunk as he was you could tell he wasn't happy with himself....The audience were drunk as well.....that's what happens in bars.

  • Sure he's drunk, why wouldn't he be drunk

  • I love his singing and his songwriting! and his acting:-)
