Kris Kristofferson wasn't just a country music outlaw. He was a highly decorated Oxford Rhodes Scholar and a U.S. Army Ranger who flew helicopters. He was offered a prestigious job teaching English literature at West Point, but he rejected it all to move to Nashville, where he ended up sweeping floors at a recording studio. Disowned by his family for the decision, he famously took a massive risk by landing a National Guard helicopter directly on Johnny Cash's front lawn to hand-deliver a demo tape, proving that true genius requires taking a giant leap of faith.
