Painkillers are the easiest drug to get hooked on for numerous reasons. They come from a dr., you can function on them & most of the time people dont know your on them, they put you in a good mood & give you energy & your whole body hurts when you try to get off them so you keep putting it off.
I wonder if elvis got him started on pills like they show in the movie ? Good thing OC’s weren’t around back then
there will never be another like johnny or waylon, but we are all blessed to have had them in country music. They are the definition of country music.
awesome video
Thank you for posting this….great stuff!
The two best. I had a dream last night that I was hanging out with Waylon & we started singing, “The Dukes of Hazzard,” together. Man, it brings a tear to my eye!
I like to listen to Johnny, Waylon, and Hank all the time. out of all the country music these two take the the top
I love how all of those guys would just pass songs to one another and play together and cover one another. What an awesome generation of musicians.
lettermans young
I absolutely hate YouTube’s new format.
I hate it I tell ya!
I hate it!
This is freakin classic. Great video. Thanks.
David Letterman is an idiot!
Love Johnny and Waylon!
David Letterman is such a huge presence and icon, but he becomes so small when these two step up. RIP Johnny and Waylon
Precious ! .. There will never again be anyone or anything like these two wonderful human beings and their music,soul and spirit. It’s a bleesing that we will always have them on recordings and video clips like this. Still I’m sad they have both passed on and I will miss them dearly. Thanks for posting this !
lol..i noticed that too, i didnt think anyone else did
You couldn’t have said it better “I agree 100%” I liked everyone of those guys, But Waylon was my favorite lol… we even share the same name, his first, my middle. R.I.P. Waylon

Yes j. R. And waylon were the best! They are in heaven now making great music togather again!
For me, the world seemed to stop for a minute, and has been turning a little slower and sadder since Waylon passed away. He was such an original, I don’t think he could be or ever will be replaced, and certainly not forgotten. Rest in peace hoss!
Wow I dnt even know this existed! J. R. Was n still is the greatest of them all. I’m sure he is still making great music in heaven!
The two very greatest artists to walk this earth -period! I’ll always love them and play/sing their songs! They’re up in musicheaven jamming with Elvis, Roy, Roger and few other greats! Regards, Hoss Curtis -find me on YT too!
@FriendofRamblinJacbootlicker??? what the hell is letterman supposed to do? be rude, talk over his guests, make tem feel like not coming back? He’s doing his job, letting them speak and trying to present them as well as possible. It’s called doing a good job.
Thank you SO much for posting this for us to enjoy. Man, we miss them so much, don’t we, Marty.
Letterman is a flagrant bootlicker.
But Waylon in ’88 when I saw him the night before he went to see Johnny in the hospital down in NB was the most gracious, polite, kind, humble, and personable entertainer I ever met (unf never got to meet Johnny) and so was Jessie. The next day Waylon got checked into same hospital as Johnny. He lived hard. But he was a very kind man, to this 26-yr-old gal back then. Slainte va.
Good job. I’m definitely going to bookmark you!
This guy is really lucky !
