I always thought it would be interesting if Gord and Waylon had gotten together and written a couple of songs together. Waylon never had a problem hanging around rock or pop personalities. I believe he was supposed to ride in the plane that Buddy Holly was in the night it crashed but decided to skip the flight at the last minute. He did a song with Neil Diamond on Neil's Tennessee Moon album and for years called Neil a "Beverly Hills Hillbilly". So I think he and Gord would have gotten along fine, if Gord was into collaboration, but as we all know, he's not.
