The Highwaymen song you are thinking of is Highwayman: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aFkcAH-m9W0


You also really, really need to listen to Silver Stallion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tngWVx61yMo

Edit: Under no circumstances should you read Kris Kristofferson’s biography, unless you really want to feel like a useless sack of poo poo who has wasted your life. It’s Dolph Lundgren-levels of making you feel inadequate, and then some.

The best version of Highwayman will always be Glenn Campbell singing it with an orchestra backing him up:

I wonder if Kurt Cobain had lived he would be anything other than another lovely early 90s singer that people are too embarrassed to admit that they used to listen to. It's kind of like rebel without a cause for a new generation. It's an overdramatic pile of poo poo from somebody a little too old for teen angst that's somehow above criticism because someone died.

Nah, he'd be like any aging rocker that's just sort of lame and still tours and just plays the hits because the audience is 40 or older and don't want anything new.

Did he actually use a side by side? What kind of tool tries to cram that in their mouth, worried you'll miss with the first shot? Jfk a lovely pump is like $100 in 1992 money and its not like he was worried about resale value. I mean think people uhg!
