Freedom’s just another word for nothin left to lose. -Kris Kristofferson The original message is drastically different from that of the talentless nigger lover who would later record her own version “Me and Bobby McGee.” Kristofferson’s version is about loss and sorrow, he starts with only the love of a woman, and ends as even she departs, to this refrain. It isn’t to be celebrated. It isn’t to be aspired toward.
