Talk:Kris Kristofferson

message: The documentary is about the children of career military families. The documentary won 19 awards and Kristofferson is the main narrator as well as having written much of the score music and also being one of the documentaries subjects. Kristofferson was one of these children himself. Shouldn't this be in the Wikipedia article? The subject of Kristofferson being an ex-military brat, and also the documentary are worthy of their own small section I would think. I saw this film and was blown away by it (I am also a former brat). This is a major work and should be noted in the article.

thread_title:  Kristofferson Narrated the award-winning documentary about military children: "Brats: Our Journey Home". That should be in the article 

message: I added a 'Trivia' section with a note about David Icke's "reptilian agenda" theories concerning Kristofferson.  Other Kristofferson fans can flesh-out the section with more mundane trivia.

message: My wife just mentioned that KK is mentioned in her latest issue of Sports Illustrated's 50 years of Faces in the Crowd issue. Apparently he was a Golden Gloves boxer, in addition to his having been singled out as a Face in the Crowd by SI. It doesn't look like there's any reference to it in his early bio. Is SI verifiable enough? VisibleInk 21:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Two for Texas

message: I've watched and listened to this video clip a couple of times and Kristofferson quite plainly, specifically and proudly admits to being a Communist. Of course, this whole textual love fest would be quite ruined if anything caustic were posted about him.

These other two links were just evidence that most Rhodes scholars like Kristofferson are at least lefty enough to be Socialists. Hmmm. A pattern, or just a coincidence...

thread_title:  Kris da Kommie? 

message: Here the info box gives birth name as first and last names, no middle name.
IMDb gives a middle name: Kristian. So does somebody have evidence that IMDb is wrong?
If so, why has IMDb not been corrected? We can do that too.
If not, why is the middle name not given here in Wikipedia?
I notice that someone (unnamed, 75.48.164.205) did insert the middle name in the box (2009-01-03T04:31:52) and in the first sentence (2009-01-03T04:33:03) but All Hallow's Wraith undid all that (2009-02-08T07:16:48) as "unsourced". is IMDb not to be trusted? Or did IMDb get it from here? Where did the anonymous 75.48.164.205 get the middle name from if it is untrue? 88.105.80.161 Iph (talk) 12:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Not sure I'm doing this right as this is my first Wiki entry, but I've been through the help pages and portals and I think it's unbelievable how complicated Wiki has made this website.  I just want to report a factual error in Kris Kristofferson's bio.  I don't know the correct info, so I can't enter that, but I do know there is a factual error.  The bio says his dad was a U.S. Air Force Major General.  This is not possible since Kris was born in 1936 and the Air Force was not created until 1947.  My guess is that his dad was actually in the Army Air Corps from which the Air Force was born, but I do not know that for a fact.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.222.2.126 (talk) 23:57, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Some of Kristofferson's songs speak of alcolo-dependance. These include "Sunday Morning" and "Beat the Devil." As Mr Kristofferson himself has raised the subject (by the medium of his songs), should this issue not be considered on Wikipedia?--PeadarMaguidhir (talk) 18:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Whatever goes into an article about a living person has to be supported by reliable secondary sources, per our policy on biographies of living people.

replies: text: I'm not even sure what "alcolo-dependance" is, but saying that anyone raised a subject through their songs is speculative at best and a gross WP:BLP at worst. Janis Joplin recorded Me and Bobby McGee, does that mean that either her or Kristofferson were ever busted flat in Baton Rouge? Nah. Wildhartlivie (talk) 18:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

message: During a documentary on CMT, both Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson spoke of how they first met. Kristofferson was a pilot with the Tennessee National Guard and took a helicopter and landed in Cash's Back yard while Cash and his wife, June Carter were sitting on the porch. Cash said any man who'd land a helicopter in his back yard to get him to listen to his music just had to be listened to.

message: This page said that he was a member of Delta Kappa fraternity at Ponoma College.  According to the college's website there is no organization at the school by that name, but there is a Kappa Delta local fraternity there.  I assume that the letters got crossed in an edit.  I didn't see anything in the reference to say he was a member though.  Here is a link to the local fraternity:  https://claremont.collegiatelink.net/organization/kappadelta/about
A list of old greek organizations at Ponoma is here:  https://www.pomona.edu/administration/archives/blog/posts/13-11-21-Greek-Life
Also, be careful not to confuse the local fraternity with Kappa Delta national sorority.

thread_title:  Info on ''Jesus Was a Capricorn''? 

message: After having inserted the WP link for Lyme Disease, I just found the lengthy exchange on how to handle this information.  My main suggestion here is to (a) Accept the the WP link as just added OR (b) Rephrase this paragraph OR (c) Just remove it and be done with it.
Essentially, this consideration of a link should NOT hinge on issues like privacy, quality of source, a diagnosis of "Lyme Disease" versus "Chronic Lyme disease", the confusion of the misdiagnosis, the extent or nature of his medical issues, quality of life issues, or medical bias.  Those are all factors influencing the consideration of *content* to remain. (I'm keeping out of the discussion of whether the article should have that information.)
My single point is: If WP editors believe that this information merits inclusion, then retain this information.  However, if not, it should be removed.  ...The solution should NOT be leaving it as is currently phrased without a WP link to "Lyme Disease."  Gprobins (talk) 22:04, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Number of Children 

message: I reverted medical claims not supported by reliable medical sources. There has been discussion on Kristofferson's treatment by unreliable practitioners on this talk page. David Gorski calls Kristofferson the "latest celebrity quackery victim".
There is no source I've seen supporting a claim that "In 2006, Kristofferson was diagnosed with Lyme disease".  Additionally, the "functional medicine" doctor (who works for Amen Clinics and who is not a neurologist) who diagnosed Kristofferson admits the initial Lyme testing was negative and his "treatment" started in 2016. Experts found no good evidence to support claims that Lyme disease causes Alzheimer's. Experts also agree "Immunoglobulin G (IgG) seronegativity in an untreated patient with months to years of symptoms essentially rules out the diagnosis of Lyme disease, barring laboratory error or a rare humoral immunodeficiency state."
