That’s sad. He was a awesome songwriter. Crazy story about him stealing a Army helicopter and landing it it Johnny Cash’s back yard to deliver him a song he wrote. And Kris writing Me and Bobby McGee for his then girlfriend Janis Joplin. Going through my album collection tonight I found a original Me and Bobby McGee record by Kris, I forgot I even had it.

Not surprised he’s got to be really old now I hear a lot of him on Willys roadhouse thanks for that paul

He is/was an interesting man, lived 3 or more lives in one, from Air force music, film.  I wish him well

ain't that the truth!!!!

every day my prediction we are getting closer to the movie "idiocracy" becomes more true.

[Geoff Weeks]

Speaking of Kris in general, I think my favorite song was Sunday morning coming down, and I loved him in Lonestar, he played evil so well!

My favorite Johnny Cash song is his version of Kris' "Sunday Morning Coming Down".

You talkin' about the movie Convoy?

[mowerman]

Oh sorry I missed it somehow kind of been a busy week you know I don’t know if it was Convoy . It was a long long time ago and I only saw it once I do remember him getting out of a Mack and talking to some girl I thought it was a RL western model  black and yes, my memory is fading ha ha I think we all have the same issue.. bob

[tjc transport]

convoy girl was Ali MacGraw.

Oh man that chick  was a doll back in the day. I looked it up. Yes, that was the movie. And if I recall when he pulled up that sounded like it had a green oil dripper in it, which is fine since most of us seem to like the way they sound thanks for that.

Yes for some reason they dubbed the Sound of a Detroit in over the sound of the Mack motor under the hood.

[mowerman]

They do that a lot if they are not happy with something I read they use the 55 Chevy in American graffiti for the sound effects. Burt Reynolds, Trans Am they were not happy with the car the way it sounded..

They did the same in the Movie Black Dog. They dubbed in a 2stroke sound. Then Swayze made a Remark about a Caterpillar engine....The Peterbilts used in the movie were actually 60 series Detroits.

You know, I saw that along time ago I really don’t remember a whole lot about it

Yep. The original T/A sound in the movie S&theB was indeed the 4-speed big-block Chevy from “2-Lane Blacktop”, which was also Harrison Ford’s car in “American Graffiti”.
I noticed that a lot of the remastered versions actually sound like a T/A now. I had a couple of those cars and loved them. But they WERE a late ‘70’s “smog motor” and did not sound like the 454 sounds in the original release. 
 

Another interesting movie car was Tony Danza’s ‘57 Chevy in “Hollywood Knights”.  It was the “Project X” car from Popular Hot Rodding magazine. In the scene where they are racing the Cobra, you can see a puff of smoke off the engine. They blew the transmission and hurt the motor.
