Veblen dude well then we gotta go away for a commercial now the guitar is out here are you gonna play in sing for us tonight what is it we'll take him out back in rough email don't worry folks [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] summer Waylon Jennings is here and it turns out he did bring the puppet boy we got a Waylon we got this is a great picture we talked about your early career you said you got started playing and performing about 12 later your DJ at 14 tell us about this early gig as we say well I uh played bass for a while played bass for Buddy Holly yeah you played chase now you were were you in the original cricket so part of the crickets a side guy or what I was like the crickets and uh Norman petty had calls you know kind of a rift between crickets and Buddy Holly I got to say that you know he the truthful anyway they had split for a while they were going back together their to lassen anyway I played bass until they were to be back you know and I he gave me the about two based here in New York gave it to me so don't learn to play it all right yeah this is this is you right backwards no they're right there yeah how old a guy you suppose you are there that was two years old I just woody yeah that's that's a great photo of that was just a few years ago yeah all right nowhere oh and now you and Johnny Cash for a while we're roommates weren't you yeah John sick girl right now and I sure hope he's feeling yeah I hope so too is this look like everything gonna be all right I think so you know he's strong he's a vision no we can't do that here how old were you guys when your roommates and I don't remember how oh I don't remember a lot of things about that [Music] and John wrote a book there's a lot of blank places left I think I was about to mmm 26 27 years old this was in Nashville yeah did you guys do a lot of entertaining dinner parties John was a cook you should see him with that black suit on you know baking powder all over it yeah and I don't know what I did except I kicked the doors down a lot he'll now how what would be why would a person need to kick doors down to get in the other side of the door that's what we did is like you go into John we going in there and like I've been coming in and he'd put the light out of the latch on there yeah and when he gonna sleep sometimes like me and him we don't sleep we went to sleep [Laughter] get in another thing - there ain't nothing feels better than that door given under your foot okay I'll tell you what when I figured out maybe I slowed him down a little bit like I think it's down Alabama one time I went around to all the guys rooms and I thought man that's great I'll scare him to death imagine how are they in Iran back to kick that door there was one of the metal doors I am and I would the thing was is is left play glass windows right beside him but all the big one just hear it it's shattered well that's so you got a little something out of it yeah yeah I also found out too that maybe I was a little bit scared of it anymore well when I got Quran says what happened I said some kids or so you know we had to do some that is well just we'll set up some doors and anybody who would like to come on yourself included certainly and we'll just we'll kick them in if it's [Applause] if isn't that big a thrill and then I'll grab the guy on the back back you know what I think he'll most push me through one while ago is that right yeah no are you gonna we're gonna sing here now and okay we got to go away for it with station identification all right you can hang

television show you did in 1969 I guess it was just called the Johnny Cash show done out of Nashville yeah one of the best music shows probably ever right well thank you we had we did 60 and all we did 10 summer replacements of show called operation entertainment in 1969 then we did two seasons 70 and 71 from the old Grand Ole Opry house it was the first Network show out of Nashville it was pretty much just all music wasn't music and some talk that was yeah nobody coming out in duck suits or anything it was just all no it was uh it was we really did it the hard way the temperature in that building would get over a hundred two hundred degrees in the summer and it was you couldn't air-conditioned the building there it was so old and but the facilities were were good it's nice was just we have on the show we had we had just about everybody we had Bob Dylan on the show we had Mahalia Jackson Bob Hope Louie Armstrong we had folk singers like Jack Elliott Pete Seeger with a Glen Campbell Waylon Jennings we had country artists we had Peggy Lee we had you know everybody we also had first Network appearance by people like Kenny Rogers in the first edition also on the show was the who Creedence Clearwater Revival they did their first appearance on my show this was serious stuff wasn't because there in those days there I don't correct me if I'm wrong I guess but I don't recall any other show maybe that was that open to that wide range of musical talents well music is for everybody and although I'm a country known as a country artist then it was a network show and I wanted to see some people up on the show that I knew that the people or you see yeah I brought this magazine out because I heard that every time you got a country artist on the show you send over to the office of country music magazine to find out everything that you can about that person so I just brought you the latest dish okay you don't haven't have a piece of this thing to use Oh talk a little bit about the the story you were telling me before about one night at your house in Nashville when people would come in to do the show they may often stay that was January 1969 and a Bob Dylan was there he was doing his neighing at your house and it was done it's Nashville Skyline album and that's when we did a lot of things in the studio together and bootlegging that lately but anyway Dylan was there and Kristofferson Joni Mitchell and Graham Nash and shel silverstein and I was telling you that that that night in my house the first time these songs were heard Joni Mitchell sing both sides now Graham they sing Marrakesh Express shel silverstein sing a boy named Sue and Bob Dylan sing lay lady lay and Kristofferson sing me and Bobby McGee good happens the first time any of those songs we heard those if it happens did you have snacks [Music] I'll tell you what when we come back now you are gonna sing something for us tonight I'd love to alright new song I wanna do for it Chris wrote it okay well we'll talk a little bit about that and some other stuff we'll be right back with John [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] terrific and we've added tell the folks who we've added here tonight Marty Stewart works with me and plays the mandolin guitar fiddle he's playing mandolin tonight what do you what are you gonna sing Jeff I want to do a new song written by Kris Kristofferson I've been working with Kris and winter Nelson and Waylon Jennings lately and Chris has written the best songs I think he ever wrote and recently you know and I've recorded two or three my like to do one this song paints a picture it's from the inspired by the movie Grapes of Wrath it's called here comes a rainbow again all right [Music] [Applause] Sneed was a small roadside cafe the waitress was sleepin - front driver's drinking their coffee and - okie kids by the tool candies the Aster how much have you got she replied we've only a penny between us those two for a penny she lied and the daylight through heavy with thunder and the smell of the rain all the win hey just like a human here comes a rainbow [Music] one truck driver said to the waitress after the kids went outside them candies ate two for a penny so what's it to you she replied in silence we finish their coffee [Music] she called hey you left too much money so what's it to you they require [Music] [Applause] [Music] and the smell of rain [Music] [Applause] [Music] here comes a train bogie [Music] [Applause] very nice good heavens now this is I like this this is nice we're not Waylon you were here was it just about a year ago about a year ago I think so yeah and at the time we were talking a little bit about there was a period in your lives when you guys were roommates now where did this take place what was a let's get Johnny's that post regular hotel not the the Madison apartments and Americans won't see I had the apartment evildea well you did not nod at the cleaning and you look I'll never forget John men I never saw anything as funny [Music] yeah yeah interesting article in here about Ernest Tubb [Applause] but you know I you know also what I wanted to say I think when you were here johnny was a little under the weather yeah it was really worried about him yeah yeah he came out of luck chance Oh under the weather unit was that when I was an alcohol and drug treatment oh no you I was I was still on drugs use offer but no yeah oh okay I may have been off him but that that was go up here of my life when the only person that would talk to me is the Lord and the only woman that would have it was Betty forward you bring up an interesting point there's an article a little mention here in one of the New York City papers are trying to give you an opening to ask me about all that talk about it tell me all you want to know what all I want to know about it well no what is it you want to ask no no you know you're you're go ahead and I think what you got to say is probably more interesting than what I don't have anything so really I was kidding you know you weren't one out of six people these people don't want to hear about alcohol and drug abuse and how to control it and stop it they don't figure yeah not on the show no I'm not well you know I'm interested in Whelan's remark that when he was on the show you were off drugs but he was still on so in a certain respect this is your first appearance on the show then isn't it I'm not sure we got our money's worth it you probably got more than you bargained for but anyway everything's good in your life again that's great well at what length of time how many years did you go by under this haze and blur no well I remember most everything I had periods of blackout when I was you know I got you can always find excuses for taking drugs sometime it was a pain a broken bone and I would take mood-altering painkillers you know but how often would you get a broken bone I kept I kept a hammer in one pot no you know I read an article about me and one of these papers recently about Johnny Cash was on mood altering pain medication because of his cowboy boots the high heels gave him back pain all the excuses were used for taking drugs like like wife left here are you washed didn't leave yeah are you dog daddy you don't didn't that it's Monday or it's Saturday anyone goes anything is a good reason was a good reason for taking drugs to answer your question I started taking them in 1958 amphetamines and barbiturates 1958 mhm yeah 59 to get up and come down you know and then I controlled it pretty well for a while like he can do but pretty since like the alcoholic drinks out of the bottle and finally the bottle starts drinking out am the pills were starting to take me in 1967 with the help of June and and my faith in their religion and willpower I managed to stop for a long long time but it was a broken bone that got me started back to taking the medication again yeah pain medication and then it would make me nervous so it takes something to go to sleep and then I take something to get up in the morning you know the business like Kris Kristofferson was here not too long ago and he seemed to indicate that he was kind of no longer on autopilot and that he seemed to be things were you know a little clearer to him did you notice a big difference when you've got things to squared away as far as performing and writing in oh yeah yeah I remember everything last 14 months I it's a beautiful life a straight life is now Waylon does does this do you have a similar story here was this pretty much I was on drugs for 21 years almost solid you know and I like John I had a blackout times too but I remember most of it too I've been off for like going on my 11th month now well but now the two of you but don't screw it up alright are you going to 11 mice how would you change I'll tell you I wouldn't change it in saying and I mean and I and I had it bad you know well 21 years yeah that's not just like a casual flirtation it's like a Paul Kennedy a songwriter national he's from England and he asked me how much how much drugs I did a date and and I told him you know was over a thousand dollars a day and he said he said don't you think that was a trifle excessive oh my god good heavens yeah you can't believe what that can do for your taxes to you now this I'm guessing is gonna be one hell of a show this is uh Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash tomorrow night through Sunday night any anybody else who will jump Carter and Jessi Colter oh so you guys are being chaperoned
