I had the privilege of interviewing Waylon Jennings back stage after his performance at the local county fair in I believe the 1980s. I remember that I asked him about the incident with Buddy Holly and I regret to say that I didn’t tape record it and I don’t have the article anymore. I did take photo or two of him inside the RV and he was gracious to sign my photograph of him and then Jesse Coulter signed the back of it. Those were the days when I would interview a lot of famous people. Also at the county fair I got to see Johnny Cash and his wife perform. Glad you honored him!
Oh how awesome you had that privilege. He would certainly be a guy that would be interesting to talk to. I know he experienced a lot. You certainly interviewed him when he was still really big! Johnny Cash would be another great one and that county fair sounds like it really gave some great performances. Do they still do that?
@@RhettyforHistory they stopped bringing in the really big names and the interviews. I got to interview Glen Campbell and Charley Pride back stage as well. Both awesome guys!
@@RhettyforHistory all the country folks were folksy. Waylon was actually very nice! Sadly my most negative experience interviewing a celebrity was Michael Landon, who was rather short with me and a bit arrogant. It disappointed me as I figured him to be so different.
I would have too. I always loved him in Bonanza and of course my mother loved Little House on the Prairie. Seemed like his roles were pretty positive so that seems like such a shocker. Are celebrities not as willing to do those types of interviews because of social media?
Waylon Jennings is my all-time number one favorite country singer. Bringing back some great memories, going back to my college days listening to his hits at a place called Fred’s Dance Barn at SIU, in Carbondale Illinois. Nice job Rhett; great storytelling on his life.
He is certainly one of those artists that appeals to fans of different genres. I'm sure that was big where you went to college though. Thanks for watching my friend!
Carol Bearce, Interesting how time affects/changes a person. Back in the 1960's mom use to listen to country music all the time and I could not stand it when I was a lad ( I'm a Boomer). Then in later years I learned just how good the country music singers 1970's and before really were. They had to have talent. One song always stays with me when I think of mom ( 1942 - 2014). Mom was raised in Kentucky and had 16 brothers and sisters. Back in the day mom would always tear up when " Coal Miners Daughter" came on the radio. Years later I found out why as " Coal Miners Daughter" was exactly like mom's childhood growing up, except with more children running around. An outhouse out back, single seater, pump for well water and such. Her father survived a mine collapse in 1945 and passed few months later and few months before his last son was born. I remember sitting on the couch with her watching this live on TV: czcams.com/video/f9eHp7JJgq8/video.html
I was fortunate to have seen him 4 times. It wasn't only Waylon that I loved......but also the incredible sounds of the greatest steel guitarist in history, Ralph Mooney.🎸
For years I played Waylon's "Darling, Let's Turn Back the Years" When Ralph Mooney would play that amazing guitar of his, my African Gray parrot would absolutely go bananas.....he loved that sound!
@@blackholeentry3489 Thanks for your reply! "Let's Turn Back The Years" is definitely one of my favorite recordings of Waylon's, AND from what a great album it came. You have a very smart parrot, Black hole! lol.
He really had a rough ending and a tough battle with his diabetes. All those rough years on his body finally caught up to him. He sure did makes some great music though. Thank you for watching Linda!
Waylon was a legend still is. Iam glad to know I can actually visit his grave being only a state away ,thank u so much for all your information learned something about Miranda rights today 😊too.
You're right about Waylon still being a legend and he is certainly one of the greatest that has ever been in Country music. Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Love Waylon Jennings and his music, for always and ever, and never forget, R.I.P. Sir. Thanks Rhett for the video on his resting place. Glad you honored him.
I visited his grave in May 2021. When I was leaving, I put a dime down on his grave and said, "We love ya Waylon. Rest in peace" I heard in the back of my mind. Waylon saying, "I would, if everybody'd quit walkin all over my damn grave." Did I really hear that?
I met Waylon back in the early 80's at the Holiday Star Plaza in Merrillville, Indiana. The building connected the hotel and catwalk to the actual arena. He was so cool and handsome. I'll never forget what he said as he took off his cowboy 🤠 hat. " I bet u girls thought I was bald under this hat" He actually took the time out to chat with us but only took one picture and that was with a young girl who resembled his wife Jessie and it wasn't me 😪 but hey I had an awesome time that night. I'll never forget how dam nice he was.
I had a big classic country phase about ten+ years ago and Waylon was on the top of my list. I remember Layne Staley died in the same year as Waylon, two of the people I was really into at the time.
Waylon would be a great one to have at the top of your list. His songs have a heavy base line and are pretty hard charging for country. Thank you for watching!
I live with my dad and uncle since I was nine years old I grew up on Waylon Jennings Willie Nelson that crew I've always load Waylon Jennings I love his voice
Rhett, I enjoyed both "outlaw" stories but I particularly enjoyed the one about the historical backstory about the Miranda rights. I had heard about the initial aspect of this but I hadn't known about the person that the Miranda rights were named after. Great investigating and informative, as always. Take care 🐎
waylon was born just 30 miles or so from lubbock where i live... in littlefield texas he used to have waylon jennings days there in littlefield, he would bring johnny cash one year and willie another year, and different ones each year, Theres a small musuem in little field thats run by his brother. that has some of waylons things in it
I had no idea about that little festival happening like that. I have not been to his hometown but I need to go. Especially so after you telling me about the museum ran by his brother. Thank you for sharing that as well as for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory yea its a liquor store with a room of waylon things on the side. Nothing fancy. But it's pretty neat. His brother is there during the week days.
I didn’t realise it had been so long since Waylon passed away, where does the time go? Great 👍 information on him. That was so interesting 🤨 about the Miranda rights, who knew ? Very strange but fascinating information. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
@@RhettyforHistory I forget that I have aged until I look in the mirror, then reality comes crashing down on me. I have heard of the Miranda rights, it’s very well known but I thought it was only an American thing. Just had to google it, and it says: as a general rule, there are no Miranda rights in Australia.
@@RhettyforHistory I have never been arrested, so it’s never occurred to me. A criminal does have to right to say nothing as it can be used against them later but if you do not provide your name and address they can get cranky, and they can arrest you for that apparently.
That's been a hot topic of debate here too. I have seen a lot of social media video like that where people are harassing the cops by not giving the name etc.
I had heard about Miranda before, but never really knew about all of his crimes. He certainly did many crimes in his 35 years. Great review on Waylon. He did it his way and became successful. I will have to go back and listen to more of his music. I like how you show the grave and then give us the background; it’s always very informative.
The thing about Miranda is that is just what he got caught on. He was certainly a bad criminal. Waylon was one of the best in the business that there ever was. I really enjoy his music and he entertained us for a long time. Thank you for watching!
I have most of his music, and got to see him in Peoria, ILLINOIS, Sept.1996 at the Bradley Center, there was a big crowd, he was frail, but gave a great show, bad storms caused delay for getting autographs, so I had to leave, wished I hadn't. Always admired his staunch stance for individuality and being the creator of his own style and protecting his hard crafted work...This speaks volumes of respect for this man, in a once over controlled industry...Rest well ""HOSS"" A fan here always, Robert...😊 🇺🇸
I haven't read all the comments but I'm sure 90% of them say the same thing about Waylon Jennings. Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs... and they just don't write 'em or sing'em that way anymore. He was and remains the king.
HEY, RHETTY How's It going... Well What Can I say but I have Loved and Enjoyed the music of WAYLON JENNINGS For most of my life my Dad & mom listen to him so that's where I got my first ear full of Jennings and his music not much more to say but God bless and rest in peace Waylon Jennings guess That's a thank you to Mr. Miranda for making Our Miranda Rights having to be read to us OK take care stay safe God bless and will see you on the next video project
Everything is great here and I hope things are the same with you. Waylon was a great artist for sure. Thanks for sharing some of your memories as well as for watching!
I expected a lot more of a tombstone for a man that literately did so much for country music and all his great music and sound . He is a giant and a legend which will live on forever!! But the more I think about him as a person and whom he was, this short and small tombstone pretty much fits him and his self as just a good ol boy perfectly!!! I do get it!!!Thank you for the video!!
He actually has a marker that is about three times larger than the others in the cemetery. This is a memorial garden cemetery so they are all going to be flat and nothing really big or extravagant. He was certainly a great entertainer. Thank you got watching!
There were at least a couple years after installing a 8-track player in my pickup that the only tape I had was Waylon Jennings. Last Army buddy died this morning. He still had that truck; 1968 F-250. We were talking on the phone Saturday about the brass tank selector valve starting to leak. R.I.P. Boys
If you're going to get stuck with one tape then Waylon would be a good one to have. Especially driving a truck. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I know that's tuff as you know I experienced it as well. It's a really strange feeling when you speak to the right before they go. I've had that happen with a few now. It makes it hard to believe when that happens.
Yes I carried a briefcase of 8-tracks. I may have been blasting Waylon with Waylon driving by. I'm sorry about your army buddy. A lot of good people dying young.
That was a good one. Very interesting info I didn't know. I lived in Lubbock and have been to Littlefield. I didnt know he was from there. I've been to Holly's grave and even watched one of his old band members play at a local restaurant once in Lubbock. I did a CZcams once on his grave. Creepy cemetery. Love the video keep up the good work.
Love the play on words. "Two different outlaws". Great research on Mr. Jennings, one of my favorites but I have to admit, I'd never heard of the man who the Miranda rights was associated with. Great episode, I always enjoy learning new history facts. Thank you sir.
I'm sure most people haven't heard of Miranda but they have heard of the rights. Jennings was certainly one of the greats and I loved his music. It certainly had a heavier base line it most of his songs. Thank you for watching!
Okay man I keep trying to reply to your little thing that you have here but I was there the day that Waylon was buried I used to live right across the street from there but the whole thing took about 10 minutes they rolled up in a limousine Travis Tritt Alan Jackson A Williams Junior Reserve in a pile back in the limo and took off the whole thing took about 10 minutes
He sure did. I think he felt like he had to constantly keep going to make it and that probably led to his substance abuse. He sure was talented and I love his music! Thank you for watching!
Great story. I can remember when I was 19 years old took my Mom and Dad to his concert in Anahiem California. We really enjoyed it , and had a was great. Thanks for sharing...
You're welcome and that's great that you got to see him in concert with your parents to. I would have loved to have seen him but was Beverly able to. Thank you for watching!
This was awesome Rhett! I named my bloodhound Waylon Jennings. He passed away in his sleep peacefully October 28th a month ago. I enjoyed this one. Todd
I often drive by Waylon's old house in south Nashville. It still has the arched gateway with the words "Southern Comfort" written in wrought iron letters. I get a little sad every time I drive by there -- Waylon is still missed by many fans. 😪
@@RhettyforHistory His house in actually in Brentwood, TN. I now live in Clarksville, TN, if you are ever this way, there are a lot of interesting locations here in middle TN. Have a great Christmas and New Year Rhetty.
Another great video. When Buddy Holly asked him to play bass he told him he didn't play base. Buddy handed him a guitar and said "Take this home with you and learn to play it." He had less than a week to practice before they went on the road. My high school buddies and I saw Nashville Rebel at the drive-in movie when it came out. If you listen to his early stuff he had a really great voice.
Isn't that incredible he learned it so fast? I heard Waylon speak those same words on a CMT documentary. You're right about him having a great voice. Thank you for watching and it's good to see you my friend!
One of my high school buddies did not play anything when he enrolled in music class. The music teacher heard him thumping out the cords on a song the teacher had just played. He said "Your the bass man. He is still the bass man for Alan Jackson. There were also some kids named McIntire in that class.
I used to pull produce out of California going to Washington DC. I knew that Waylon was buried in Mesa Arizona, and every time I had to go through that town I would get within a mile of his burial, and I would always have the windows down blaring my favorite outlaw songs of his. I was really surprised to know that the Miranda guy is also buried in the same cemetery. That was a new one on me and thank you. That was a little factoid that I didn't know but now I do lol. Subscribed!
Another good video loaded with information about Waylon and Marinda. I knew a little about the reason for the Miranda rights but not the whole story. Waylon has always been a favorite in our house but you filled in a lot on him, too. Thanks for once again making an interesting video.
Waylon has a lot to tell on him but I really tried to get it down to some essential things. He really experienced a lot in his life both good and bad but he sure entertained a lot of us. Thank you for watching Leslie!
Interesting I never knew that’s where the Miranda rights came from. How ironic he was eventually read his rights named after him, then his murderer was read the same rights.
It is a very strange story indeed. I remember studying about this when I first went to college. I never would have guessed that would have been named in honor of a guilty criminal. Thank you for watching Paul!
I didn't know who he was at the time. But my Favorite movie when I was little was Follow that Bird. Song has always been in my head ever since. An't no road to long.
Great video, and a great lesson on the Miranda Rights. I remember when he was killed. It was on the evening news. Sad ending to som one that never got it. ….. Way,Lon, Willie and me….. sad day when he died……
Hey Rhett, I never read the Miranda rights to anyone when I was a Deputy Sheriff or police officer. Not that I didn't because I didn't want to, it's I didn't need to. The people I arrested were not felons. Mostly, detectives give those rights and not patrol officers. Waylon Jennings was a great performer. Loved his music. Thank you my friend.
Thank you for sharing more insight into the Miranda Rights. I've been fortunate enough to not be in a position where I was arrested to find out on that. Yes a most of that is because I have not put myself in that position but sometimes things happen and you're in the wrong place at the wrong time or they have the wrong person etc. I appreciate you watching!
@@RhettyforHistory yes, there were times when people were in the wrong place at the wrong time and were arrested for being where drugs were or a burglary had occurred. When we gathered enough evidence that cleared them of such then they were released. Fortunately, I too never got, as we call it, mirandized. Thanks Rhett.
Awesome job on this video about Waylon Jennings didn't know a lot about his life but I did like his music a lot of country singer sang to have a very sad life at times thank you again for your video I always enjoy them hope you had a very nice Thanksgiving stay safe and have a wonderful day
We had a great Thanksgiving and I hope yours was just as good. Waylon made some great music and that is the part of him that will live on forever. Still can't go wrong listening to it. Thank you for watching Marlene!
I would love ❤ to say that I liked Waylon Jennings music and also I grew up watching The Dukes Of Hazzard and listening to him doing the Ballard of The Dukes Of Hazzard I enjoyed hearing him sing the theme song on the radio when it came up on the radio as a child and now I am 48 years old and I still love hearing the theme song by Waylon Jennings to the Dukes Of Hazzard to this day as a fan
First song I heard from Waylon was "Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line" back in the 60s. He still wore his hair like Buddy Holly and was clean shaven. Been listening to him since then. He started changing his looks after that.
Yes you're right about that. I believe he was still trying to figure out who he was. That was a completely different look. He was good though. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm having fun going around seeing different places and sharing them with others so it's great to have you along for the adventures!
Waylon is the lone reason new artists in nashville can play music they way they want, he was the first triple platinum artist in nashville and a legend of country music. if i had to chose just one singer of the last 100 yrs he would be the one... I am saddened that he is buried alone and in such a meager grave, he deserves a memorial and headstone as grand as george jones has.
Interesting thing about the " Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law." Navy sent me to police academy and when the Miranda rights were taught in the class room we were told not to say "WILL" be used against you. But to say "MAY" be used against you. Reason being saying "WILL" makes it a promise and if what they say is not used against them they could claim we violated their rights by not using it against them.
@@RhettyforHistory, No. Primary was GMG. Secondary was 9545. I had full powers of arrest ( including officers), armed and police car. MAA would be more of a security guard so to speak.
@@dscobellusa, The chief who taught classroom had his 20 in at the time. He came in one day in a huff and started out by saying he did not agree with what he was about to say but was ordered to instruct us on it. He said due to political correctness we were not allowed to call a police car a black and white as it might offend blacks. We could not call a flip board a flip board because it might offend Filipinos. He went on with more of the PC terms we had to use. During this time he kept shaking his head and saying when our class graduated he was walking over and turning in his retirement papers. He said he felt sorry for those who planned on making the navy a career as it would only get worse. We graduated and that very same day he turned in his retirement papers. What he said about things getting worse, he was right about that.
Thanks Rhett. Knew most of the info on Jennings but you of course added to that. Never knew anything about "Miranda". Of course know of the Miranda Rights but never knew how they came about. Pardon my ignorance but, what is the significance of coins on Headstones?
The coins are just simply a sign of remembrance showing that someone visited. It's really not uncommon to see them on famous or outlaw/criminal graves. Eventually the cemetery will collect them and use the funds to help pay for general maintenance. Thank you for watching Harry!
Well it protects everyone from speaking and being found guilty after a long interrogation. If those were not present it is very well possible that we would have far more innocent people being punished.
It's hard for me to believe Waylon Jennings has been gone, that long. I, one night, I sat and talked to Waylon, before a show. He was one of the good guys. But what shocked me about Waylon , I always had thoughf that Waylon was ten feet tall. Waylon was a rather small man, in stature.. I thurly enjoyed are conversation. He was a Southern Gentleman. My husband had worked with Waylon numerous times as a electrical audio engineer.
Sounds like you both brushed shoulders with him in some interesting ways. I never had the opportunity to even see him live but I wish I had. You're husband sounds like he could have some stories on him. Thank you for watching Savanah.
@@RhettyforHistory discussion. My Husband was a Electorial audio engineer and operations manager for a venue in Indiana. I worked in the office. My husband has met a many, of musical stars. And he Free lanced for many Country music stars.. That he travelled, at times, for Johnny Cash. Roy Clark And numerous other STARS, per a phone call. I miss them all.

I will have to go back and listen to more of his music. I like how you show the grave and then give us the background; it’s always very informative.
The thing about Miranda is that is just what he got caught on. He was certainly a bad criminal. Waylon was one of the best in the business that there ever was. I really enjoy his music and he entertained us for a long time. Thank you for watching!
He was a lifelong loser during his short tenure on this earth.
I have most of his music, and got to see him in Peoria, ILLINOIS, Sept.1996 at the Bradley Center, there was a big crowd, he was frail, but gave a great show, bad storms caused delay for getting autographs, so I had to leave, wished I hadn't.
Always admired his staunch stance for individuality and being the creator of his own style and protecting his hard crafted work...This speaks volumes of respect for this man, in a once over controlled industry...Rest well ""HOSS"" A fan here always, Robert...😊 🇺🇸
I haven't read all the comments but I'm sure 90% of them say the same thing about Waylon Jennings. Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs... and they just don't write 'em or sing'em that way anymore. He was and remains the king.
He was certainly popular with anyone who loved country music or even Dukes of ahazzard. Thank you for watching!
HEY, RHETTY How's
It going... Well What Can I say but I have Loved and Enjoyed the music of WAYLON JENNINGS For most of my life my Dad & mom listen to him so that's where I got my first ear full of Jennings and his music not much more to say but God bless and rest in peace Waylon Jennings guess That's a thank you to Mr. Miranda for making Our Miranda Rights having to be read to us OK take care stay safe God bless and will see you on the next video project
Everything is great here and I hope things are the same with you. Waylon was a great artist for sure. Thanks for sharing some of your memories as well as for watching!
I expected a lot more of a tombstone for a man that literately did so much for country music and all his great music and sound . He is a giant and a legend which will live on forever!! But the more I think about him as a person and whom he was, this short and small tombstone pretty much fits him and his self as just a good ol boy perfectly!!! I do get it!!!Thank you for the video!!
He actually has a marker that is about three times larger than the others in the cemetery. This is a memorial garden cemetery so they are all going to be flat and nothing really big or extravagant. He was certainly a great entertainer. Thank you got watching!
Sometimes less is more.
You're absolutely right about that.
There were at least a couple years after installing a 8-track player in my pickup that the only tape I had was Waylon Jennings. Last Army buddy died this morning. He still had that truck; 1968 F-250. We were talking on the phone Saturday about the brass tank selector valve starting to leak. R.I.P. Boys
If you're going to get stuck with one tape then Waylon would be a good one to have. Especially driving a truck. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I know that's tuff as you know I experienced it as well. It's a really strange feeling when you speak to the right before they go. I've had that happen with a few now. It makes it hard to believe when that happens.
Yes I carried a briefcase of 8-tracks. I may have been blasting Waylon with Waylon driving by. I'm sorry about your army buddy. A lot of good people dying young.
That was a good one. Very interesting info I didn't know. I lived in Lubbock and have been to Littlefield. I didnt know he was from there. I've been to Holly's grave and even watched one of his old band members play at a local restaurant once in Lubbock. I did a CZcams once on his grave. Creepy cemetery. Love the video keep up the good work.
I have not been to Holly's grave but he is certainly on the list. Thank you for watching!
Love the play on words. "Two different outlaws". Great research on Mr. Jennings, one of my favorites but I have to admit, I'd never heard of the man who the Miranda rights was associated with. Great episode, I always enjoy learning new history facts. Thank you sir.
I'm sure most people haven't heard of Miranda but they have heard of the rights. Jennings was certainly one of the greats and I loved his music. It certainly had a heavier base line it most of his songs. Thank you for watching!
This is truly sad if people do not know this
As far as Whelan's funeral goes I was there that day bro the only people that were there or Travis Tritt Hank Williams jr.
Okay man I keep trying to reply to your little thing that you have here but I was there the day that Waylon was buried I used to live right across the street from there but the whole thing took about 10 minutes they rolled up in a limousine Travis Tritt Alan Jackson A Williams Junior Reserve in a pile back in the limo and took off the whole thing took about 10 minutes
thank you sir ....Waylon Jennings was a good ole boy
He was one heck of an entertainer! Thank you for watching Jody!
Excellent stories. Thank you for the Miranda recap. I didn't know the story of Waylon Jennings but he sure worked hard at music.
He sure did. I think he felt like he had to constantly keep going to make it and that probably led to his substance abuse. He sure was talented and I love his music! Thank you for watching!
Great story. I can remember when I was 19 years old took my Mom and Dad to his concert in Anahiem California. We really enjoyed it , and had a was great. Thanks for sharing...
You're welcome and that's great that you got to see him in concert with your parents to. I would have loved to have seen him but was Beverly able to. Thank you for watching!
I LOVE the song The Highwayman with Cash, Kristofferson and Nelson. Just perfect for all times.
That was certainly a powerful group. Thank you for watching!
This is a most excellent video! Thank You!!!
You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
This video was *amazing!*
*Thank you for covering this!*
You're welcome and thank you for wicking Bonnie!
This was awesome Rhett!
I named my bloodhound Waylon Jennings. He passed away in his sleep peacefully October 28th a month ago.
I enjoyed this one.
Todd
I'm sorry to hear about your bloodhound passing. You gave him a cool name though. Thank you for watching.
Fantastic visit ! Thanks, &, thanks very much Waylon ! from two of your fans, -Rickn'Morgan
Thank you both for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
I often drive by Waylon's old house in south Nashville. It still has the arched gateway with the words "Southern Comfort" written in wrought iron letters. I get a little sad every time I drive by there -- Waylon is still missed by many fans. 😪
How interesting. I have never been by his house. Thanks for watching and sharing that little tip bit.
@@RhettyforHistory His house in actually in Brentwood, TN. I now live in Clarksville, TN, if you are ever this way, there are a lot of interesting locations here in middle TN. Have a great Christmas and New Year Rhetty.
I have been out that way before but I would love to do some filming there. There is a ton out that way.
Was just listening to him today .. wild thanks for sharing ☝👍
You can never go wrong listening to him. Thank you for watching!
Another great video. When Buddy Holly asked him to play bass he told him he didn't play base. Buddy handed him a guitar and said "Take this home with you and learn to play it." He had less than a week to practice before they went on the road. My high school buddies and I saw Nashville Rebel at the drive-in movie when it came out. If you listen to his early stuff he had a really great voice.
Isn't that incredible he learned it so fast? I heard Waylon speak those same words on a CMT documentary. You're right about him having a great voice. Thank you for watching and it's good to see you my friend!
One of my high school buddies did not play anything when he enrolled in music class. The music teacher heard him thumping out the cords on a song the teacher had just played. He said "Your the bass man. He is still the bass man for Alan Jackson. There were also some kids named McIntire in that class.
Oh wow! That is impressive! Sounds like it was quite a class you had!
Just two good ol' boys,
Never meaning no harm
Beats all you never saw,
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they were born
That particular song has always been stuck in my head and I don't mind at all. Thank you for watching!
Great information and video. Nice job. I enjoy your videos and look forward to them. Take care.
I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the videos and I appreciate you watching!
That was interesting. I lived in Mesa for a while and never knew Waylon or Miranda were in the cemetery. Thanks!
I'm sure there are other stories in that cemetery as well but those are two that I have known about for awhile. Thank you for watching!
I love Waylon….. I love this, thank you ❤️
He was one of the best! Thank you for watching!
I used to pull produce out of California going to Washington DC. I knew that Waylon was buried in Mesa Arizona, and every time I had to go through that town I would get within a mile of his burial, and I would always have the windows down blaring my favorite outlaw songs of his. I was really surprised to know that the Miranda guy is also buried in the same cemetery. That was a new one on me and thank you. That was a little factoid that I didn't know but now I do lol. Subscribed!
Another good video loaded with information about Waylon and Marinda. I knew a little about the reason for the Miranda rights but not the whole story. Waylon has always been a favorite in our house but you filled in a lot on him, too. Thanks for once again making an interesting video.
Waylon has a lot to tell on him but I really tried to get it down to some essential things. He really experienced a lot in his life both good and bad but he sure entertained a lot of us. Thank you for watching Leslie!
Interesting I never knew that’s where the Miranda rights came from. How ironic he was eventually read his rights named after him, then his murderer was read the same rights.
It is a very strange story indeed. I remember studying about this when I first went to college. I never would have guessed that would have been named in honor of a guilty criminal. Thank you for watching Paul!
another fascinating video. I now know the story behind the "Miranda Rights" thanks
You're welcome and I'm glad you learned something new. Thank you for watching!
I didn't know who he was at the time. But my Favorite movie when I was little was Follow that Bird. Song has always been in my head ever since. An't no road to long.
That was a classic for sure and I had forgotten about it. Thank you for watching!
Great video, and a great lesson on the Miranda Rights. I remember when he was killed. It was on the evening news. Sad ending to som one that never got it. ….. Way,Lon, Willie and me….. sad day when he died……
Yeah that was huge news when Waylon died. I really didn't expect that to happen. He was certainly one of the greatest. Thank you for watching!
Interesting and great video, thanks Rhett👍 and stay safe out there.
Thank you for watching Monika!
That's where I was born & raised. I did a vlog there also. Great vlog Rhetty!
Oh how awesome! That is where the Navy buddy I had was from. Thank you for watching!
Hey Rhett, I never read the Miranda rights to anyone when I was a Deputy Sheriff or police officer.
Not that I didn't because I didn't want to, it's I didn't need to.
The people I arrested were not felons. Mostly, detectives give those rights and not patrol officers.
Waylon Jennings was a great performer. Loved his music.
Thank you my friend.
Thank you for sharing more insight into the Miranda Rights. I've been fortunate enough to not be in a position where I was arrested to find out on that. Yes a most of that is because I have not put myself in that position but sometimes things happen and you're in the wrong place at the wrong time or they have the wrong person etc. I appreciate you watching!
@@RhettyforHistory yes, there were times when people were in the wrong place at the wrong time and were arrested for being where drugs were or a burglary had occurred.
When we gathered enough evidence that cleared them of such then they were released.
Fortunately, I too never got, as we call it, mirandized.
Thanks Rhett.
I do try to stay clear of things and areas where that could happen.
Another great video thank you i never knew how Miranda came about till now
It's an interesting story but weird it is named after a repeat criminal. Thank you for watching!
Awesome!
Thank you for watching!
Some of my favorite song 12-2021 real country
He sure had some great ones. Thank you for watching!
Awesome job on this video about Waylon Jennings didn't know a lot about his life but I did like his music a lot of country singer sang to have a very sad life at times thank you again for your video I always enjoy them hope you had a very nice Thanksgiving stay safe and have a wonderful day
We had a great Thanksgiving and I hope yours was just as good. Waylon made some great music and that is the part of him that will live on forever. Still can't go wrong listening to it. Thank you for watching Marlene!
Great vlog :) Safe travels Rhetty, Greetings to your family from NZ
Thank you for watching from NZ Wendy!
Thanks Rhetty great video
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love and miss my dear friend Waylon. His music goes on.
I would love ❤ to say that I liked Waylon Jennings music and also I grew up watching The Dukes Of Hazzard and listening to him doing the Ballard of The Dukes Of Hazzard I enjoyed hearing him sing the theme song on the radio when it came up on the radio as a child and now I am 48 years old and I still love hearing the theme song by Waylon Jennings to the Dukes Of Hazzard to this day as a fan
Enjoyed this, thank you.
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
My first concert at 19 seen Waylon in Lakeland Florida 1980. Thanks for the video
Beautimous great work much love from this Okie
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for sharing your videos. Interesting and respectful to the person who had passed. From Texas USA
You're welcome and thank you for watching Nancy. I should have some coming from Texas the next couple months.
Excellent ☺️👍
Thank you for watching
Very cool man! Hadn't had a clue Jennings lived here in AZ. That's cool AF. Thanks for the video
First song I heard from Waylon was "Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line" back in the 60s. He still wore his hair like Buddy Holly and was clean shaven. Been listening to him since then. He started changing his looks after that.
Yes you're right about that. I believe he was still trying to figure out who he was. That was a completely different look. He was good though. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory Thank you for a great video.. Always wondered what Miranda looked like?
You're welcome. I don't think most people know who he is but they have probably heard of Miranda Rights.
@@RhettyforHistory I had read about him a long time ago but cant remember ever seeing a picture of him?
I would bet they probably didn't show him. I'm sure it was a headline side story type of thing.
Good reporting! Subscribed! RIP Hoss!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel!
This was some really well! Really good info !
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
Rhett Thank you for your service, you seem like a really great guy. I am glad I found your channel and I hope it gets huge! jk
Thank you for the kind words. I'm having fun going around seeing different places and sharing them with others so it's great to have you along for the adventures!
Waylon is the lone reason new artists in nashville can play music they way they want, he was the first triple platinum artist in nashville and a legend of country music. if i had to chose just one singer of the last 100 yrs he would be the one... I am saddened that he is buried alone and in such a meager grave, he deserves a memorial and headstone as grand as george jones has.
Interesting thing about the " Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law." Navy sent me to police academy and when the Miranda rights were taught in the class room we were told not to say "WILL" be used against you. But to say "MAY" be used against you. Reason being saying "WILL" makes it a promise and if what they say is not used against them they could claim we violated their rights by not using it against them.
As you and I both know the military falls under a different set of rules. So were you a Master at Arms?
@@RhettyforHistory, No. Primary was GMG. Secondary was 9545. I had full powers of arrest ( including officers), armed and police car. MAA would be more of a security guard so to speak.
Yes I was taking law enforcement classes about that same time and they taught may not will.
@@dscobellusa, The chief who taught classroom had his 20 in at the time. He came in one day in a huff and started out by saying he did not agree with what he was about to say but was ordered to instruct us on it.
He said due to political correctness we were not allowed to call a police car a black and white as it might offend blacks. We could not call a flip board a flip board because it might offend Filipinos. He went on with more of the PC terms we had to use.
During this time he kept shaking his head and saying when our class graduated he was walking over and turning in his retirement papers. He said he felt sorry for those who planned on making the navy a career as it would only get worse.
We graduated and that very same day he turned in his retirement papers. What he said about things getting worse, he was right about that.
I have also heard versions stating "can and will."
Thank you for another awesome video. So informative . Be safe and take care Luv.😊
You're welcome and thank you so much for watching!
Thanks Rhett. Knew most of the info on Jennings but you of course added to that. Never knew anything about "Miranda". Of course know of the Miranda Rights but never knew how they came about. Pardon my ignorance but, what is the significance of coins on Headstones?
The coins are just simply a sign of remembrance showing that someone visited. It's really not uncommon to see them on famous or outlaw/criminal graves. Eventually the cemetery will collect them and use the funds to help pay for general maintenance. Thank you for watching Harry!
I Love 💞 the Highway Men I grew up listening to with them he was One of my Faves. I had such a Crush on him 💞😁‼️ Thank You 🙏🙏🙏
You're welcome and I appreciate you watching. I think a lot of ladies loved those guys.
Good narrating buddy, I see your Oklahoma shirt. I'm an Okie, Elk City, Oklahoma .
Thank you for watching and it's always good to hear from another Okie! I'm in Oklahoma City.
i went to a concert and saw shooter playing he was pretty good,
I do think he is really good and he certainly has a different look and sound as well. Thank you for watching.
Another good one, Rhetti
Thank you for watching Jacquelyn!
Thank you Rhetty for a very informative and great video.
You're welcome!🙂
Good Afternoon Rhett.🙋🏽I can't believe that the cops read you the Rights of a criminal. This is really crazy ‼️😧🤣😂 LOL.
Good afternoon Carole!
@@RhettyforHistory 🙋🏽👍🏽.
Well it protects everyone from speaking and being found guilty after a long interrogation. If those were not present it is very well possible that we would have far more innocent people being punished.
Love your channel. New sub!💖
Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel!
It's hard for me to believe Waylon Jennings has been gone, that long. I, one night, I sat and talked to Waylon, before a show. He was one of the good guys. But what shocked me about Waylon , I always had thoughf that Waylon was ten feet tall. Waylon was a rather small man, in stature.. I thurly enjoyed are conversation. He was a Southern Gentleman. My husband had worked with Waylon numerous times as a electrical audio engineer.
Sounds like you both brushed shoulders with him in some interesting ways. I never had the opportunity to even see him live but I wish I had. You're husband sounds like he could have some stories on him. Thank you for watching Savanah.
@@RhettyforHistory discussion. My Husband was a Electorial audio engineer and operations manager for a venue in Indiana. I worked in the office. My husband has met a many, of musical stars. And he Free lanced for many Country music stars.. That he travelled, at times, for Johnny Cash. Roy Clark And numerous other STARS, per a phone call. I miss them all.
Sounds like that would be a great experience working with them like that.
Great Video and a wonderful telling of both stories.
Thank you Kirk and I appreciate you watching as well.
@@RhettyforHistory You're most welcome of course. I truly enjoy your videos
It's good to hear you do and I know you're always coming along on the adventures and I appreciate that.
@@RhettyforHistory It's great fun and I think of you as a friend we have chatted so much. I enjoy seeing so many lovely places too.
No one can fill his shoes! One of a kind.... Waylon Jennings!
Yes he was and he sure paved the way for a lot of others in the industry. Thank you for watching!
Great job
Thank you and I appreciate you watching Aaron!
Miranda i had no clue... learn something new thank you.... And waylon Jennings one of my favorite singers
He was a great singer for sure! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you learned something new!
😎 Rhett, nice job 👍 I have a friend visiting in Mesa 🌵🌞 who has a YT channel as well
Thank you for watching! There is a lot to see in that area!
@@RhettyforHistory ..yes he is overwhelmed , he going back in March to see more of Az 🌵🌞
I'll be back out there next year as well.
Waylon Jennings is a true outlaw and the best one too.
Waylon was my great uncle I wish I had got to know him
That is quite a relative you have. Thank you for watching!
Till this day no singer comes close to sounding anything like Waylon!
You're absolutely right about that. Thank you for watching!
Very interesting about Miranda rights
Thank you for watching Tracy!
Waylon. The Goat.
He sure was! Thank you for watching!
I Love 💞 Your Videos 😍❣️

Waylon, also in late 60s - early 70s was in a movie Nashville Rebel.
Yes I believe that was 1966? Or was there more than one?
@@RhettyforHistory just the one, that I know of
Ok I was just making sure.
