Comparing Obama to Hitler?

Just so you know...(sit back and get a glass of Jim Beam first) he didn't make it to the top by riding on his old man's coat tails. The music industry WANTED him to be like his dad, sing his dad's songs, etc...but it wasn't working out. He didn't make the big time until he started playing music HIS way.

I'm pretty sure it was his mom that made him play his dad's old songs. She had him on tour singing his dad's song, dressing like his dad, and so on. One day he wanted to play a few of his own songs, and she didn't agree...........not wanting to remain in his dad's shadow, he left home and went out on his own and made it happen for himself.

Watch the movie "Living Proof: Hank Williams Jr. Story" sometime. You'll like it.

Also, on a side note, there is a movie due out later this month about the last days of Hank Williams Sr.'s life, called "The Last Ride". I've been looking forward to it for a long time, just hoping it comes to a theater near here....
Go here and watch the trailer:

Not exactly a Hank Jr. fan..., but have to admit his style of music did get better with time, kind of like a good aged Kentucky Bourbon whiskey.

Reminds me of the only time the wife and I went to a live concert back in the mid 60's; HAND WILLIAMS Jr. Being a fan of HANK Sr, I was all excited. Didn't last long, as before the first intermission, told the wife, let's get the hell out of her. Took almost 20 years before I could appreciate Jr's music, and then from a distance.

I hear ya...I never claimed he was a good singer,..but his "style of music" as you say does provide for some good redneck entertainment.
