But Buddy was an upper. He was happy. He loved music, and he was really happy. I don't know... I don't believe in reincarnation at all, but if all that stuff is true, then he might have been on his last time around.
Waylon Jennings
He gave us all a mind to think with and to know what's right or wrong, he is that inner spirit that keeps us strong.

I'm just a man, no more or no less. Bad as the worst, good as the best.
