He also stood up for Palestinian children and was noticeably blacklisted by some in the showbiz industry for it. Shows you the ideological vengefulness of some in this industry. Kristofferson's political stand helped ensure that his name received a black mark within the show-business stablishment, as he said, "Particularly in LA, I found a considerable lack of work after doing concerts for the Palestinian children and for a couple of gigs with Vanessa Redgrave and if that's the way it has to be, that's the way it has to be. If you support human rights, you gotta support them everywhere." (Kristofferson: The Wild American)
