Grew up with a dirt floor. He earned his way up in music.

No one can tell Waylon's story better than Waylon. It feels like only yesterday he was still with us.

[@gracieg7601]

Thank goodness he left us videos like this and music to remember his talent. He was such a good guy! He didn’t go bankrupt he figured out how to pay everyone back ! God bless him for that!

One of the very, very best interviewers here interviewing one of the greatest singer, song writer, actor, entertainer, businessman...and a fine, truly fine human being...Waylon Jennings. Man, he was something to watch or listen to. I saw him in late 1990''s at a County Fair, just feet away from this great artist. He and Glen Campbell head my list of all they had and were and succeeded in doing. How sad that death takes such as them away. Now I begin to think of Bobby Bare, Crystal Gayle, so many who was in these artist league. We'll never see another Waylon or Glen Campbell again...what gifts these were given.

This is a good show

[@angiejones3733]

This interview is a treasure. I've read the book along with Jessi and Terry's books as well. They are all great interesting reads. One thing that stands out is how much Waylon truly lived for music throughout his entire life. Even though he didn't really want the title of legend, I'd say 22 years after his death and people are still interested in details of his life, talking about him and listening to his music, he definitely became a legend. He lived an adventurous life doing what he was born to do. ❤=w=❤

[@lindadarling731]

What a great interview. Waylon is a great speaker, songwriter, singer, I remember Jesse saying he’s a genius. I can see and hear that.. He was a very honest, fair, kind man. They don’t make men like him anymore….he was one in a million and they’ll never be another. ❤️

[@christopherreed2694]

Waylon wasn't a hateful man but like he said it bothered him he didn't like how it felt thats a hart for the times to change 💔 no body from the south was like that exept him and his brothers!

[@shea086]

Really enjoyed the interview and the interviewer was OK, as they go. Getting educated I suppose but really.. It's a fine interview with a fine writer /musician.

Funny thing about knowledge, it's completely free to anyone who wants it, and you don't need a teacher, just a desire to learn. Knowledge teaches you "how" to think, where as schools teach you "what" to think.

[@kathrynmanion5876]

Uncle waylon jennings sweetheart I do love ❤️ you Love Codeine Jennings whey jennings struggle jennings and southpaw jellyroll family who never left my side. Lattonzio widow.

[@gracieg7601]

It’s so hard to believe that he got so messed up on drugs seeing him in this video! Thank God Jesse loved him and helped him! If Elvis had a woman who loved him that much possibly he would have survived better! Who knows?

[@ddjsta]

People call Steve McQueen the king of cool , 😎 I think Waylon Jennings is tellin him to scoot over a little and give me some room .

[@thebuddyholly]

Steve McQueen tried to be cool, Waylon Jennings was cool

[@crystaldunson9578]

I don't drink or do drugs anymore just cigarettes and non alcoholic beverages. Heineken 0.0

[@kathrynmanion5876]

I know who did it but there's nothing I can do about it except for replacing everything that was missing however I can't get back what was stolen from my baby Patience Albrie Brown Luciano Lattonzio 12 days old she passed away in 2017.

[@kathrynmanion5876]

They did try to burn 🔥 my home down and robbed me and tried to flood my home 🏡 in North Carolina after Brian lattonzio passed away 😢

[@kathrynmanion5876]

Call the FBI

[@kathrynmanion5876]

I accidentally took meth they tricked me and told me it was pot . I threw that man out by his throat for getting me addicted to drugs and he is now in prison for what he did to me.

[@mrjasondylan]

One is a plant the other a chemical, people are wrong to introduce others to hard drugs but we only have ourselves to blame if we become addicted. It's not a one time deal to become addicted it takes constant use for at least a few weeks minimum before you become addicted to something.

[@eamonnobrien1410]

You could have any better country singer on your show

[@thedude9502]

Ahhhh... ahhhhh.... ahhhhhh... lol how did dude get a job talkin when it's so hard for him ?

[@kathrynmanion5876]

[@kathrynmanion5876]
