yes, Howard. About a week after the article you mentioned, Kristofferson's wife says she remembers the exchange and so has someone else(don't remember who) as far as Kris's memory, the whole thing came out in 2009 about an incident in 2003, Kristofferson, when asked about his wife's conflicting memory said something like "I'm 72 years old, this supposedly happened 6 years ago. I don't remember. I have indulged in a lot of alcohol and other substances for a long time, I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday" and said again that he had no problem with Toby Keith. Anyway, who cares really, I just can't stand chickenhawks or their admirers.
