Waylon Jennings gave his seat to an ill J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson during the Winter Dance Party tour. His joking final exchange with Buddy Holly became a source of guilt for years after the February 3, 1959 plane crash.

The exchange is based on Waylon Jennings's later recollection. Official investigators attributed the crash to the pilot's decision to fly into conditions requiring instrument experience he did not have, not to Waylon's words.
