Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the man and I like a tune or two he does. Immensely successful country artist and sort of in the last handful of "Outlaw" country guys...I am more of a David Allan Coe, JJW fan myself.
But he has made a living off portraying himself as a blacksheep....the same but different from dad.....etc.
From memory...."Family tradition"
"Hank why do you drink, why do you roll smoke" etc, etc

"Country Boy can survive"
We can make our own whiskey and our own smoke to......
To my knowledge Jr has made no bones about Hard drinkin' and rolling the occasional fatty as well.
FWIW, this does not draw my condemnation....I'll leave that to others. PLUS it sort of goes with the territory of your Outlaw C&W guy. AND the music field in general

...and you knew how?

Hard to tell from all the mind boggling things you say.

If you truly believe that "Stoned" means drunk, then I have no idea what to tell you. I still believe you have 0 clue on Hank Williams, Jr. based on some of the things you've said here. I didn't have to reach one bit to find lyrics about getting high, and the fact you even asked for any shows me everything. I don't give a crap if you did sing his songs back then, you obviously still were in the dark about the lyrics and the man himself. Again, this isn't about what he's done in his life, this is about the fact ESPN is pulling the song based off comments made about the President, when his whole career has represented much worse.

ESPN -- Hank Williams Jr. theme song won't return to Monday Night Football - ESPN

Kinda sounds like Hank made the call

It's ridiculous that he broke out the "freedom of speech" argument. ESPN can respect his freedom of speech but still not wish to employ him. Hank has some reflecting to do.

Well you know how he handles that, herbals.

Hog1 · 10-06-2011, 03:15 PM

Well.....he's 62 and has 50m. So he'll probably be ok.....

saden1 · 10-06-2011, 03:51 PM

He made the call? After saying what he said and then apologizing he wants us to believe he made the call to quite because he was concerned about free speech? Mother fcker, you were fired!

Take you and your rowdy friends, you won't be missed.

I always hated that dumb song, but I cringe when thinking about what they might replace it with.

Yea, Hank is more suited to sing songs for NASCAR stuff.

I have a feeling the NFLs obsession with the Black Eyed Peas will be invading our ear canals once a week.

New MNF intro is awesome...it's a keeper.

SmootSmack · 10-10-2011, 08:58 PM

I'll relay the message.

Kinda looking forward to hearing HW Jr's "diss track" though
