OK, what's up with Hank Williams Jr all of a sudden?

[givemebackmycountry]

What was he on?
What did he say that has peeps all fired up (and why do you give a shit)?
Just how stupid was he, on whatever he was on?

Hank Williams Jr is as important to the national conversation as a flea on dogs ass.

I didn't need a post to say that but whatever. I'll take one every once in awhile.

6. He was always an ass

flipping off the President is pretty mild compared to bar fights and groping waitresses and the rest of his antics.

7. What's wrong with him?

1) large amounts of drugs and alcohol. 2) fell off a mountain and landed on his head. 3)large amounts of drugs and alcohol. 3) thinks he has to live his songs. 4)large amounts of alcohol and drugs. 5) has always been a self centered asshole. 6)large amounts of alcohol and drugs. 7) has been fairly well off and famous for so long that he thinks the sun rises and sets in the crack of his ass. 8)may have a substance abuse problem.

9. He's A Nugent-Level Gun Nut......

....which means he'll get a certain amount of support from the usuals here at DU. Then there's the contrast between the slack he's getting re his Obama gestures and comments, versus the career devastation the Dixie Chicks received for speaking the truth. Beyond that, he's just a talent-free jerkoff who ought to be ignored---unless he further incites his dwindling fan base to violence against the current administration.......

10. His kid, however, is awesome.

Hank III. I believe his band is called "Assjack." :D

Did a country album years back, sounded so much like his grandpa it was spooky cool.

11. Hank Three Sticks is da bomb.

Rockabilly Punk?

Nashville Metal?

He's hard to pigeonhole, but I like his style.

[ZombieHorde]

12. He creates country 'music'.

He disgusts me.

13. He has always been a jingoistic fascist

I remember a guy in my dorm, back in '91, playing a cut he did called "Don't Give Us A Reason", which sported a boner for the first Iraq War. He makes Charlie Daniels look like Jerry Garcia Mach II.
