I'm listening to your reaction and want to say as a woman born in Georgia in 1963 with a Dad born in 1940 in the North Georgia mountains, to us the rebel flag had nothing to do with racism and everything to do with independence, surviving on your on skills, having and keeping the right to own your own property, be yourself, do your own thing to survive without the oppression of the government establishment.

@jcornman24 kinda, but it was easier to fight the companies back then. Less popular singers around forced these companies to lessen restrictions on things they didn't really like. So people like Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings could get away with a lot more back then because everybody wanted to listen to them. Don't have their music? Listeners change the station

The Dukes Of Hazard is loosely based off a movie (Moonrunners) about a Southern family that bootlegs (smuggles home made alcohol = moonshine). Waylon Jennings was the narrator for that movie and was asked to return for the TV show. He was also asked to write and record a theme song for the TV series. Two versions of the song were recorded/ One version edited for the TV show intro and one longer version for radio airplay. The song went to #1 on the country charts and reached #21 on Billboard

And Moonrunners starred James Mitchum, who acted in his dad Robert Mitchum ground breaking movie Thunder Road about a country boy running shine. First car chase movie, way before Bullitt.

He did write this for the show specifically. He also was the narrator and in the intro you see a pair of hands playing guitar, that was Waylon too. That's why he included that line in the song about showing his hands but not his face on TV.

Waylon suffered for years with survivors guilt, anguished by the memory of his last words to Buddy. When Reba McEntire's band was killed in an airplane crash Waylon reached out to her and told her his experience. He knew what to say because he'd been there himself. (Reba was on a different plane or she would have lost her life.

A humbled and REPENTANT We the People PEACEFULLY UNGOVERNABLE and ZEALOUSLY NON-COMPLIANT? Yes, I said "REPENTANT"...the Founding documents, brilliantly crafted to DEFINE us were based on God's Word and Common Law. No, that doesn't mean everyone will believe in God, or worship God the same. Founders were predominantly Christian, believing ALL were Redeemed by Christ's Crucifixion and Resurrection, though NONE deserved Redemption. Redemption a PERSONAL CHOICE, not forced. They believed individual sovereignty is given/ordained by God...individual sovereignty to be protected at all cost; limitations by government NOT allowed. Stomping on each other's sovereignty not acceptable either... I appreciate you guys often "treading on thin ice." A favorite saying, "If you're going to tread on thin ice...you might as well dance."

Flags are symbolic. Different people interpret symbols differently. In 2024 I suspect a disproportionate number of people who fly the Confederate flag do it for racist reasons. After all, they waited until the Civil Rights movement to resurrect its popularity and build all those Confederate statues. Or maybe that was just coincidence. EVERYONE I know IRL who flies the flag or wears it is racist. But I’m sure that is not true of everyone. I watched the Dukes of Hazzard growing up, saw every episode, and never saw anything remotely racist in the show. Clearly the Confederate flag wasn’t used for racist reasons in that show. I know there are Southers who only view as a symbol of Souhthern pride. But as a Southerner who has existed 12 times longer than the Confederacy existed, it is REALLY weird to me that some some view that flag as a symbol of Southern pride. Like, chicken fried steak and biscuits&gravy are more representative of my Southerness than that traitor’s flag. But again, I don’t think that level of thought was put into using it in this show.

@@MiddleAgedBob Back when this show aired, it really was mostly a symbol of "southern pride", and the average southerner saw flying the stars and bars was simply doing so to differentiate themselves from those silly northerners and their big-city ways (lived in the Atlanta area for a year in my childhood having come from upstate NY and even then there was still a sense of simple difference that had nothing to do with racism). But yeah, if you fly it today it either means you're a racist OR you're simply a stubborn bastard who's gonna keep on flying it simply because people tell you not to. Either which way you're purposefully making a statement that has little to do with taking actual pride in your origins, since you could just as easily display that pride with the original flag of your state (none of which incorporated the confederate flag, obviously)... or just hang up a big Waffle House sign for that matter.

A time when you earned what you got. A time when $1.50 could buy your lunch and $5 could fill your car. A time when you knew your neighbors because you went to church together and they cut your meat when asked. To use, it's a reminder of a simpler but harder time. A time I personally wanna go back to and I'm only 28. Keep segregation out but bring back everything else from the past. Drink from a water hose. Have a cookout where the neighbors joined. Hear stories from the oldee generation about how things were harder because they worked 29 hours days, 9 days a week and had to walk 9 hours to school every day.

I think Waylon Jennings wrote it for the show. The show was taken from a movie. There were several TV theme songs that were lengthened and became radio hits. For the longest time, the confederate flag just meant you were southern, it had nothing to do with racism, it was a southerner thing. You will see a lot of these country, Southern rock bands flying the flag. They were proud to be rebels. Trivia about Waylon. He gave up his seat on the plane that killed Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens.

The car, the General Lee, was a moonshine car. Moonshine is how Nascar got it's start. You needed a fast car to run the back roads haulin the shine.

In Dukes of Hazzard, the rebel flag was mainly there because it had become a symbol of both moonshiners and those opposing political corruption in the South, especially the Appalachian South, which includes the Northeast Georgia mountains where the show was set. The Appalachians didn't even have slaves because they were too poor. Their only history with slavery was from their ancestors themselves being indentured servants for seven years to get to America in the first place.

@johncondon4081 Why do you think this region of the South, which had almost no slaves across the entire region, supported the South in the Civil War (except in Kentucky, where they were pro-Union)? They saw changing governments as a possible way to reset the political corruption that kept them poor, and, for better or worse, they saw the Confederacy as a mechanism for accomplishing this goal. As to General Lee, by all accounts from both sides of the war, Lee was a great and honorable man. Google him. He was a better human being than almost any of his opponents, so why wouldn't they honor him since they were also repurposing his battle flag? Not the Confederate political flag, but the battle flag. I know this is getting too deep in the weeds for a simple discussion about a song and TV show. Sorry about that. I'll hush now.

I was born and raised,and still live in south Mississippi. Since I was a kid growing up in the 70s the rebel flag has always represented pride in being independent hard working people who are just proud of their family and where you live. I grew up in a quiet neighborhood with white and black neighbors who had rebel flags in their yard or tags on their cars. I went to my small neighborhood school with all kids from the neighborhood. Everyone got along and race was never mentioned. We were all taught to be proud hard working respectful people. If your neighbors needed help you helped them no matter what color they were. We all watched out for each other . If an elderly neighbor was sick my mom would make sure they had groceries and any medicine they needed. We didn't just help 1 color we helped everyone. Just small town folks who didn't depend on the government to step in and help we helped each other . God bless!

Wayne Jennings has this joint called, "Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand". This song is classic banger, with lyrics that are a true story. Metal singer James Hatfield of Metallica also did a cover of this song that he played live as a tribute to Wayne at a Country Music awards show some years ago. You can find that on KZbin as well. But you have to react to the original first. This is my favorite Waylon Jennings song.

He wrote it for the show, and the last part where he says...my momma loves me but she don't understand they keep a showin my hands and not my face on tv....that refers to the intro to the Show Dukes of Hazzard when it shows Waylon Jennings playing the intro but they only show his neck down. he wrote it as a joke and to be silly.....Waylon Jennings Was the Man!!!! lol .

I met John Schneider last year at Retro con he played Bo Duke on the Dukes of Hazzard. Had my photo taken with him and he was just as sweet as can be in real life as he is on t.v. John Schneider also sings you should check out his song " Wherever she is". Daisy was at Retro con as well but my crush was on Bo growing up and it was on my bucket list to meet him so when I heard he was only 3 hours away I bugged my husband til he gave in lol.

Waylon’s song “I’ve Always Been Crazy” just so happened to be the BIGGEST HIT on the radio at the time the show first was being produced, show creators contacted him to write a theme song for the show, subsequently the hired him a the “balladeer” for the show….. and about the FLAG, look up H.K. Edgerton and listen to this American Historian talk about the TRUTH about the FLAG…….

Check out Struggle Jennings' remix of Waylon Jennings' song called "Outlaw Shxt" featuring Yelawolf. Waylon is Struggle's step-grandpa.. Waylon married his grandma, Jessi Colter, before Struggle was born, I think.

An excellent choice! And Waylon adopted Jenny (Struggle's mom) when she was 2, so long before Struggle was born!

This is the version he would sing in concert and it goes off of the fact that as People have commented on here he was the near narrator for the TV show and in the opening scenes of the TV show during the theme song It shows a mans hands playing electric guitar which was Waylon Jennings the original ending for the tv show the end is just the good ol boys wouldn't change if they could fight in the system like a 2 modern day Robin hood As a side note Whaylon Jennings did appear in the TV show as himself driving a semi rig that was a mobile museum for country artists which boss hog promptly tries to steal and the Duke boys help hem get it back

Waylon broke the country industry wide open..Waylon was the first at everything he did...he had the first platinum and quadruple platinum album in country on his wall..he wrote it for the show after they hired him to narrate..

It was written for the show. If you watch the show intro you’ll understand the lyrics where he sings about his momma doesn’t know why they “keep showin my hands and not my face on tv”.

Hey Don!!.....I Lived in Lincoln, Nebraska and outer skirts of Lincoln in between Omaha 2000 to 2011. So I was just wondering when you were out there, man. I lived there for a long time and I did vinyl siding and multiple carpentry. And yeah, dude, it was a different life, and I liked it out there. Thank you🇺🇲⚜️🙏😎

John Schneider Who played the blonde haired Bo Duke. Has an independent movie production company and does a lot of movies with that good old boys style thymes (good old US story lines). He also writes and performs county songs and the theme songs to his movies and was on the Masked Singer

Waylon wrote the song for the show and the show was based on a movie. And The short, shorts were called “Daisy Dukes after Catherine Bach’s TV character. Waylon was also the narrator for each show, if you remember hearing “ Uh, oh. What’s Uncle Jesse gonna do now?” … that kind of thing. I think we were able to root for the underdogs in that show so much because the “law” was so obviously, comically corrupt. In that instance, the good old boys were the good guys, just trying to make a living. Simpler times, man.

An iconic song. Also, I get a kick outta some people from the cities who just think us good ole boys, farmers, cattle ranchers, etc are dipshits.
