MP Jamboree Live from Cheyenne...….."Me and Bobby McGee" written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster originally performed by Roger Miller.

Kris Kristofferson stated the inspiration for the lyrics came to him trying to convey the despair of the last scene of Frederico Fellini’s film ‘’La Strada’’ where a broken, war-torn, inebriated Anthony Quinn stares up from the beach at the night's stars. The character is distraught after he had left his travelling companion for his freedom and later learns she has died.

La Strada ("The Road"') 1954 Italian drama film directed by Federico Fellini from his screenplay co-written with Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Flaiano. The film tells the story of Gelsomina, a simple-minded young woman (Giulietta Masina) bought from her mother by Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), a brutish strongman who takes her with him on the road.

"Me and Bobby McGee" was also recorded by Janis Joplin, Waylon Jennings, Grateful Dead, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers and The First Edition, Gordon Lightfoot, Dolly Parton, Olivia Newton-John, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson among others.
