00:01What am I supposed to do?

00:03I do not remember meeting Ben, but it seems like he was always there.

00:08Anybody that knows anything about music or Texas knows about Ben Dorsey.

00:12Ben Dorsey was the bandboy, or the roadie. He was, I guess, the first roadie ever.

00:18He's roadied for everybody, from John Wayne to Tanya Tucker.

00:22He was the star of the Ice Capade spot in WW2.

00:25He roller-skated with Anne Margaret.

00:28He worked with Elvis, Waylon, Johnny Cash.

00:31There's no Patsy Cline stars, because she wasn't wild.

00:34It's no accident that Ben has not just been with big stars.

00:38He's been with significant stars.

00:41You know, like when you're in the Mafia, and somebody goes, you know, he's one of us.

00:46He's cool. He's a made man.

00:48He's probably God. He's probably God.

00:51He was with us on the Highwaymen show, and they swore there was more than one Ben Dorsey.

00:55He could do something with the other boys, didn't he?

00:58I swear to you, where are the trucks going?

01:01He's a kid away from me.

01:03Truly, America's number one bandboy.

01:06The singular and incomparable, Ben Dorsey.

01:09He is, like I said in the song Wild Man from Borneo, a hairy, scary, legendary, screaming souvenir.

01:17He is somebody that nobody can be. Nobody knows.

01:20He's a talk around the campfires, and the tails get mighty tall.

01:24Big Ben's a living legend, and he will outlive us all.

01:30He ought to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

01:33You might as well just give it to them, because they're going to take it.

01:35I don't want to get too successful.

01:37No.

01:38It's not good for them.

01:40It's not good for them.

01:41Just be with them.

01:43Some people can't have them.

01:44Just be with Ben, I've always been there.

01:46Some people can't be as humble as men.

01:48Yeah.

01:49Yeah.
