Our American flag is for every American 🇺🇸

Poor Waylon Jennings....Remember "the day the music died" (February 3rd, 1959), the day memorialized by Don McLean in his 1972 hit "American Pie"? On this day, a plane crash killed up-and-coming musicians Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson (ie, the Big Bopper), and Ritchie Valens. The plane had been chartered to transport the performers from Iowa to their next show in North Dakota. One member of Holly’s travelling band who did not make this plane trip was Waylon Jennings. He had been hired by Holly to play bass for him on that fateful Winter Dance Party Tour. Rather than further enduring tour bus issues and a long frozen bus trip, Holly decided to charter a small plane. Unfortunately, it could not fit everybody. Richardson, who was suffering from the flu, asked Jennings, who was 21 at the time, for his seat on the plane. When Jennings told Buddy Holly that he was going to take the bus, Holly jokingly told him he hoped the bus broke down, to which Jennings replied, “I hope your ol’ plane crashes.” Waylon never really got over this encounter, and it haunted him til the day he died in 2002. RIP Waylon. Sometimes fate deals us a terrible hand. Fortunately, Waylon Jennings did go on to be a trailblazer in outlaw country music!!!

Waylon owed a lot to the native tribes. They loved having Waylon play on the reservations out west. They kept him making a living when he was having hard times.

The native people loved Waylon. He was born in Texas but spent years in Phoenix. He used to go to the reservations and put on concerts for the people. One of his early hits was Love of the Common People.

Struggle Jennings is Waylon's step-grandson. Shooter Jennings is his son.

1982, front row seats to see Waylon in the Spokane Coliseum. Someone took the mic, and said all y'all, please remove your hats in the arena. Waylon came out to start the show and said, "Oh! Forgot to take my hat off." He removed his black Stetson and threw it like a Frisbee into the crowd!

1984 and it's about time you got to Waylon! MORE MORE MORE!!! :)

Waylon was absolutely awesome!

Charley pride, a black man in country music was very well loved‼️ He had a great voice great songs, very talented man.

I’m from Southeastern Kentucky and if you came through here and needed help the people around here will help good decent people and take you in no matter the color cause we are good decent people here and we help each other, we wave and nod our head if we see you out, whether we know you or not we’re friendly people by nature, we live the rural life , we love the Lord and love our people.

Bp Waylon Jennings is an American Country Icon!🇺🇲 Ain't living long like this (pertains to today) Honkey Tonk Hero's and Are you sure Hank did this way❤❤😊

Struggle Jennings is actually a step-grandson of Waylon Jennings. Waylon's wife Jessie Colter, was first married to guitar legend Duane Eddy and their daughter was the mother of Struggle Jennings. You can tell by the love and respect Struggle has for Waylon that they formed a tight bond.

This is from a time when America was actually great wasn't perfect but nothing ever is but it WAS alot better then compared to now👍👍

Whey Jennings is another one of Waylon's grandsons. He is following in Waylon's footsteps singing country.

Several years ago, his grandson called the Kansas Vietnam Veterans and Family reunion an a Saturday morning ti see if he could bring hid band up to play at the reunion. He was advised that they didn't have the funds to pay him and he advised that he didn't care. He brought his band up , from Oklahoma, to El Dorado Lake State Park in Kansas. He had started to play the second song and it started raining. He continued to play for another half hour. When he started singing one of Waylon's songs, you would have thought it was Waylon singing! He was a realy down to earth guy,and said he just wanted to give back to the veterans!

The “Conversation” by Waylon & Hank Jr. is a must watch!

Shooter Jennings is Waylon's son. Struggle Jennings is Waylon's step-grandson. Struggle's name is his stage name, but Waylon was very influential in his life.. Waylon's insignia is tattooed on Struggle's back.

Nice one! I concur with othe suggestions of doing Luckenbach Texas!❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

naah, BP, it’s a blessing; a total blessing just to be born in America! we got it made, when compared to ALL other countries of the world. Thank God, for letting me born in the USA! AND…talkin’ bout a freakin guitar picker, WOW!! lots of ppl don’t even know he was a session player / picker for many artists music!

God bless the Highway Men. Four of the best entertainers ever.

Waylon Jennings is a legend of country music and a man of his own style who does things his way. He's one of the great's!

Waylon "The Belle of the Ball". ''I came uninvited, but I'm leaving with the Belle of the Ball". Love Waylon. Wayland Arnold "Waylon" Jennings. RIP.

Waylon is one of the VERY few country singers that I love, thanks! I think he's incredibly underrated.

I grew up in the fifties in an Appalachian coal camp. My grandfather was a coal miner, My father was a coal miner and about every male from 15 on was a coal miner back then. They were hard, strong men who risked their lives every day just so they could feed their families and barely get by. Throughout our history in America men fought and died so we all could stay free. Now when i see all the blm's and the atifa's and now the Palestinian riots i hang my head in shame for what we allowed to happen with the new democrat/socialist party. At 72 i am finally walking away from the corrupt democrat party and voting Republican and most of my family and people i know are too. We are now at a time when we once again have to fight for the soul of our country. Regan said 'we are never more than one generation from losing our country. He was right. Thanks for playing and commenting on this great anthem.

We live in Arizona and spend a lot of time off-road exploring old mines and traveling on old railroad, mining, Indian and stagecoach trails. It is amazing what the men who came before us created. God bless America and praise God for those men.

Pure love for Watasha🖤🩶🤍

I love Waylon and I love this song....and now I love you guys!!!!😍😍😍😍

Waylon, simply the best country artist ever. A legend!

I've always been crazy.

🇬🇧 I feel exactly the same coming from the UK. Sometimes people don't know just how lucky we are, just to be born where we were! And that's all I have to say bout that. Love & peace to y'all. ❤ 🇬🇧🇺🇲❤🎼🎶

Glad to see you reacting to all kinds of Music. It is so refreshing to listen through new ears ,well your ears.

I met Mr. Jennings once, in the 90's. I worked at a Sheplers western wear store in Austin, TX. and they let him come in after we closed, to shop. He was super nice. Nobody bothered him while he walked around, and when he was done he stayed to sign autographs and chit chat. I still have the hat he signed for me.

Waylon was one of the Highwaymen, remember how good they are?!?

Waylon is the original Outlaw. He didn't want to play by Nashville rules. So he moved to Austin and started " Outlaw County " Lonesome on'ry and mean , is one of my favorites

You cannot go wrong with Waylon!!!!

Saw Waylon twice alone and once with the Highwaymen. Waylon was his own man, terrific entertainer, guitarist and composer. I loved Waylon.

Good reaction BP. That's the way I feel about America, too.

I have been watching many videos here on KZfaq from people from North Korea that defected from NK as well as people from other countries that have visited the USA and watching their amazement and admiration of us, not only as people individually but as a nation, has reawakened me to the realization of how much influence the US has on the rest of the world and what a huge responsibility we have as a nation to set an example of what it's like to live in a free society. We aren't perfect but we struggle every day to be better. We are a most fortunate people to have been born here or to have been able to become naturalized citizens here and even those that haven't become citizens yet, we all have a responsibility to live up to the dream that founded our country. America isn't just a country it's an ideal, an idea, a goal, a hope and I firmly believe that together we can set aside our differences, join in the things we share and continue to keep our beacon of light shining for those that long for liberty, justice, human dignity and the right to build the life they choose.

We did this song in choir when I was in junior high. It was a whole medley of patriotic American songs. We were all so proud to sing it. I miss those days. 😢🇺🇸

I wish most young people had seen what you’ve seen and were as appreciative of our great county

waylon ! "rose in paradise", "waymore blues " "i've always been crazy "

This was his next to last chart hit. Rose In Paradise followed it.

Thank you so much for this one ! Waylon loved this country and so do I 🇺🇸

My favorite song by Waylon is Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line!!❤🎉

WAYLON!

Waylon was a guitar player for Buddy Holly and gave up his seat on the doomed airplane that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, inspiring Don McLeans American Pie. Waylon survived the day the music died.

Born in California and have been here for going onto 62 years. I will never move away. I listen to Waylon almost day. Dont hate on California. There are a lot of country folk agriculture industry is going strong out here.

Thank You Guys Soooooo Much for this one. I had forgotten this American Anthem. We The People Feel this way. The Nasty Narratives are all lies.

Thank you for Waylon!! Country music is full of Patriotism and love of the Lord! Black, you really need to go down the Country rabbit hole…No Boundaries

There is no one like Waylon!!

Loved this. 🔥❤️

There’s a spoken word album called America why I love her is a must especially title track

Respect for a great Native American! Johnny Cash “Ira Hayes” Medal of Honor recipient. Battle of Iwo Jima. Very good song.

Legend!

I think you would enjoy Waylon's "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean."

You are going to get comments from this video for a long time with stories about the man the legend. Mr. Waylon Jennings. Here's mine . I don't recall the year but its been quite a few years ago. I will condense it to save time. The IRS had taken Willy Nelsons home in Evergreen for back taxes owed. Well when it came time to auction it off Waylon was there and won . A couple days later Waylon caught up to Willy on a Farm Aid tour and handed him the keys on stage and said something to the effect of '' Here's your house keys, don't lose em again'', Then they embraced like two brothers reunited after years of being apart.

Waylon is probably my favorite country star of all time and this song is one of the reasons why. He was a great American. If Waylon is your spirit animal then I would love to hang out with you. You need to look up his grandson named Whey Jennings. He sounds just like his grandfather.

I had actually forgot about this one. A truly wonderful song.

Waylon Jennings was always a favorite of mine. As a native Texan, he, Don Williams (Portland, TX famed son), & Mac Davis (Lubbock, TX) had such smooth, enjoyable voices and wrote such great music. RIP to all 3. Btw...Mac Davis apparently WAS buried in his jeans, I understand. If you know, you know. Lol.

First concert I ever went to, Waylon and Jesse, back in 1977. I'll never forget it. 👍

Hey there - Kathy here. Waylon is a legend and just didn't care what the industry wanted him to play and did his own thing. Can't get any better than Waylon for just pure country music. Thanks again for another great reaction. Gotta run and get shit done today! So over this rain we are getting in North Carolina! Have a great weekend and stay blessed!

Waylon was loved on American Indian Reservations. His songs are still played on the airwaves across Indian Country.

Waylon is my #1 all time fav country artist. great song and reaction, boys.

Someone in the T-shirt making business please send him a T that says, " Waylon Jennings is my spirit animal". 🥰

Love some Waylon!!!! This was one of my favorite songs of his!!!!

They called Waylon the music man and said he always kept his word and don't do him wrong..

Waylon Jennings, my all time favorite country singer and song writer. His first grandson Waylen Jennings is following in his grandfathers legacy. His son Shooter Jennings is also a singer song writer who does rock and country. Struggle Jennings is his step grand son. I absolutely love this song. It is a very powerful song. You also might want to check out Travis Tritt who was a very close friend of Waylon and is also a country singer who does great things.

This made my day!!! I just come home from a long day at work, crack open a cold one, and see what Black Pegasus is reacting to today. I totally forgot about this one, great track....his song "Amanda" is like a slow/waltz type ballad, He also had a song called "Outlaw Sh!t", Struggle remade it also, Struggle's version is sooooo dope!!! Him and Willie have a few great tracks like "Lukenbach Texas" i think you'd like. Another great reaction and happy to see Democrat Don on once again!!! 🤘😆

Waymore Blues🔥🔥🔥

Another great reaction. When i hear the two of you talking about good old boys and antics, i can't help but think of "Just Good Ol' Boys" by Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley. Thanks for a great reaction.

I got goosebumps too.

Now you’ve found one of the Goats! I’ve a snapshot of Waylon with his arm around me from 1980, at an all day concert at the old Engall’s stadium in Chattanooga, TN. I met and got pics with Lee Greenwood that same day 😊 That was not only a great concert with several artists, but it was such a great day to meet them.

you guys nailed this reaction as usual...great takes!!! be sure to check out "Luckenbach Texas"!!!! GREAT song by Waylon...

We are not pro war but will fight for our country we will

Waylon is my man. Another good patriotic song by Charlie Daniel’s is called In America. Check it out. And please keep going down the Waylon rabbit hole. He’s phenomenal

Greatest line in one of Waylons song is "I've always been crazy but it's kept me from being insane" Check it out. I believe the title is "I've Always Been Crazy"

I grew up in southern Oregon, graduated in 1977. I later learned I lived in a very racist town. It surprised me, because none of my friends were racist. It was their parents. My generation actually thought that shit got settled, we thought we had taken care of that. I guess some didn't get the message, but overall, I don't think Americans are racist. I now live in NW Washington State. We got some proud boys in the neighborhood, along with many Ukrainians, Latinos and natives. Overall, we all get along. One of the proud boys actually stepped in to shoot at a drunk dude with a shotgun that shot 2 cops in our neighborhood. We can coexist. Peace out.

Whey Jennings is Waylon's grandson, you should react to Whey's "Lead Me Home"

Great reaction ❤ My dad was a Huge Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson fan as well as a huge Patriot. As a Rocker Chick I humbly say, "You are right Dad" It took 2020 for me to go down the rabbit hole of what is going on and has been going on in our Country. I took so much for granted, not anymore Proud American ❤🇺🇸✌️ Keep up the great work.

I'm gonna say it.... Make America Great Again..

Love me some waylan he was one of the best older country music singers the good old singers are slowly dying

All Waylon’s songs are awesome!

Your program tells me there is hope for the knew generation

please do Waylon Jennings I've always been crazy

Check out Waylon and Johnny Cash -Wish I Was Crazy Again. They were roommates back in the day hiding their drugs from each other. They were lifelong friends through everything.

You must listen to Waylon's last live concert from Jan. '00. KZfaq has the song "Amanda/A Couple More Years", which will bring tears -- guaranteed.

Giving me goosebumps!

The Band and The Staples, The Weight, (The Last Waltz).🙏🏼❤

FN Love you guys ❤AMERICA❤️

BP. Love hearing what you have to say/what you feel. Always insightful when I can hear the whole train of thought.

Great song for you to express your appreciation for this country. You sound like you were born 20 some years too late. So much more from Waylon to hear, look forward to more reactions from him, Willie and David Allen Coe. The 'outlaw' trio from back in the day. "Don't y'all think this outlaw bits done got out of hand" is a must. About law raiding a recording session. MANY others as well

Waylon is the best country singer ever. You need to do "Good Hearted Woman".

Banger 🇺🇸

***GOOD HEARTED WOMAN*** ***IVE ALWAYS BEEN CRAZY*** ***LUCHENBACH, TX*** ***DON'T YOU THINK THIS OUTLAW BIT DONE GOT OUT OF HAND***

Love that song

He's not talking about reparations. He's talking about keeping promises made: "...expect a little from you. Promise and then follow through."

BP you need to check out Home Free “Brothers in Arms”. It’s a cover, actually an upgrade, of a Dire Straits song. A Capella, no instruments.. just pure harmony and patriotic chills. 👍👍👍

You have quickly become my favorite reactor, especially when Don is there. Love your patriotism and your ability to speak common sense to the viewer. Here's one I know you'll enjoy, The Charlie Daniels Band "In America." Please check it out.

@BlackPegasus I can be having a bad day, like today, and get on here & watch 1,of your reactions & immediately my day gets brighter. Thank you for being that person who can do that! 😀

Waylon is a 👑!
