This guy holds a BA in Literature from Pomona College (summa cum laude), and earned his Masters in English Lit from Oxford while on a Rhodes Scholarship. After reaching the rank of captain in the US Army, he turned down an appointment to teach at West Point, and began writing songs like "Once More With Feeling", "Me and Bobby McGee", and "Help Me Make it Through the Night". Identify this member of the Songwriters and Country Music Hall of Fame, likely better known today for his occasional acting, including his Golden Globe winning role opposite then girlfriend Barbra Streisand in A Star is Born and as the grizzled Abraham Whistler opposite the occasionally coherent Wesley Snipes in the Blade trilogy.
