TELEVISION - Dec. 18, 1991

Who Said What?: Waylon Jennings says he’s had a lot of explaining to do since he was quoted on “60 Minutes” as saying, “Will the last one to leave Nashville for Branson (Mo.) please turn out the lights?” Jennings claims the remarks were aired out of context and misrepresent his feelings toward Nashville. He says he was repeating a “quote by my buddy Mel Tillis” in response to a question from a “60 Minutes” interviewer. However, “60 Minutes” executive producer Don Hewitt says Jennings “volunteered” the quote and was never asked about it. “Maybe Waylon Jennings wishes he hadn’t said it, but we didn’t put the words in his mouth,” Hewitt said. The Dec. 8 show described the growing number of country stars who perform and build theaters in the Ozark Mountains town.
