I agree But this was 1998 and this was Dr Laura though So I do understand now I get Him I was very Stupid when I was a boy He is a Superstar on the level or above his co band members of the Highway Men Kris Kristoferson Willie Nelson or The one who I think May have surpassed him in Greatness Johnny Cash Dr Laura did not active more greatness tell the Photos of her Nude In those photos you can see that 1970 female grooming practices were different then today

[@DaveMiller2]

@@norahjaneeast5450 Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson are definitely more famous than Waylon Jennings. Kristofferson was big for a short time but overall not quite the same level of fame as Jennings. Dr Laura was realy big at that time and Jennings star had long since faded.

Dr. Laura was a flash in the pan. Yes, a lot of people were talking about her back then because she was controversial, but she had no substance and her fame has plummeted to almost nothing, She has a show on Satellite radio that hardly anyone listens to and you hear very little about her these days. Waylon on the other hand was always a legend. He was a legend back then and today, all these years after his death, he's still a legend. Glad he walked out and didn't accept the disrespectful way he was treated.

There's a lot of factors to consider -- Waylon had health problems at that time and died a few years later, he once had a cocaine addiction which messes up the mind -- he was likely in no shape to do an interview anyway. And his walking off gave Snyder and Waylon more publicity than they would have had otherwise! In show business, when a program gets complaints, it means one thing -- people are watching!
