Star-Spangled Bummer [Whores Die Hard] - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
From Kris Kristofferson's fifth album "Spooky Lady's Sideshow"(1975). Despite solid material and good production, the album flopped as the first one of Kristofferson's, starting a decline both as a recording artist and songwriter. From 1975, he's better renowned as an actor, though still writing, recording and touring. What this song is about? The subtitle tells more than the real title: another song about booze-up, bummers and spoiled women. But it's well built.
Kris Kristofferson died on Saturday 28th of September 2024, at the age of 88. God bless him. His work will stand out for the rest of our earthly life.
