Hank Williams Jr. writes song about 'Fox & Friends,' ESPN
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Hank Williams Jr. is about to have his say.

Williams' has cut a new song "I'll Keep My ..." calling out "Fox & Friends" and ESPN. An interview last week on the Fox News talk show led to the end of his association with the sports network and "Monday Night Football," long home to his "Are you ready for some football?" theme.

Bing: Madonna to perform at Super Bowl?

He's also scheduled to appear on "The View" and "Hannity" on Tuesday to discuss the uproar that sprung up after he made an analogy that President Barack Obama and House Speaker Rep. John Boehner golfing together was like Nazi leader Adolph Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu playing a round.

ESPN decided to pull Williams' intro from last Monday's "MNF" telecast after the comments and the move became permanent Thursday when both sides said they'd decided to pull the spot.

Tell us on Facebook: What do you think about ESPN's decision to pull the song?

Williams wrote the topical third verse of "I'll Keep My ..." when he woke up Friday morning and he and a group of players laid it down in a Nashville studio by Friday afternoon. It could be on iTunes late Monday or early Tuesday.

3. I liked him better when he wrote songs about " growing his own smoke"
Screwing groopies and drinking whiskey all night long.

You know, back when he was more of a family values guy.
