He doesn’t appear to be intoxicated at all. He handled all questions thoughtfully & with grace & finesse. RIP Kris Kristofferson. Thank you for your service & for all the beautiful music you wrote.
He is stoned in this interview. He quit drinking on September 21, 1976, but as is often the case for people with addiction problems, he just took up an alternative vice. This interview was before he gave up inhaling large amounts of weed. He did get a grip on that, too, about the time he made ROLLOVER, according to an interview he had with Roger Ebert after he had finished that film. He told Ebert that during that film he would be straight during the week and would smoke dope all weekend, so that on Monday's he would be hungover and paranoia-angry. He also said that one of the factors in giving up such excess was "a private deal I made with God.' That private deal was in the prayers he offered to God as he was returning from Sweden flying to daughter Tracy's bedside after her motorcycle accident. He prayed there would be no brain damage and no paralysis. And there wasn't. He later told an interviewer, "When I walked into the room, she was in a coma and hadn't moved. Just as I walked in, the doctor said 'Look, her leg moved!' I told God, 'okay, I'm your boy'."
What I admired MOST about Kris Christopherson was his ability to fly a helicopter under 'EXTREME DURESS". Like when he couldn't even walk according to some witnesses .He had been trained to do so by hardcore military men of the Vietnam era. The kind of men who would chop their way down thru the canopy to rescue fellow soldiers. And fly out of there with one arm because the other had been injured by a RPG. You never knew when he might land in your backyard a 3 AM with Jack Daniels in tow. Dam the torpedo's!! True American! I'm thinking he was Bobby McGee in Janis Joplins famous hit.
As if we're watching the Rubber Duck in a interview. Hair, beard and clothes are all the same. Except the interview isnt about the 55 double nickle. Damn, missing that guy already!

If he was "impaired" he was more articulate than many of us at our best! RIP, Kris! ❤
He's smarter and more thoughtful stoned than most people are straight.
Damn straight! 😊

Was too intelligent for most interviewers.
Especially this one.
The interviewer was a jerk
Most of them are jerks

Well, he did write "Bobby McGee," so there's that.

1979 was around the time when he quit drinking. I heard he picked up smoking mj after that and it took a few more years for him to quit that, as well
Kinda dorky questions. I don't know whether he was intoxicated or not, but nothing here shows him to be.
Bait. He is not intoxicated or high.
Ah
He is either a bit high or a bit drunk! Of course he is an intelligent guy and can talk his way through. #LoveSign
Um…… he’s not intoxicated.
Misleading and mislabeled video, therefore, a thumbs down.
Intoxicated?
High?
Not at all.
