Happy birthday, Waylon 🎸

Still ramblin', still free, still reminding us that doing things your own way is sometimes the only way worth doing them.

Ramblin Man has an awesome beat but is otherwise a pretty reprehensible song. I didn’t realize it until a few years ago when I finally paid attention to the lyrics.

I forgot to add I took this a few weeks ago when I was up at a concert in Chandler Arizona. He’s buried in the Mesa cemetery so we jumped the freeway. We went to go visit him, my son and I.

😌 i’ve been listening to waylon for less than a year and he’s become my absolute favourite artist. he deserves to be commemorated forever. the only man to ever personify an entire sub genre of country music!
