“CorsicanRedneck: You know what a real man also does? Writes under his own name rather than hiding under a sorry ass pseudonym like “CorsicanRedneck.””

Don’t try to spin things around, little dude. YOU are the one insulting Hank. YOU are the one saying “F… you” on radio instead of going to see Hank face to face. I ain’t the one who starts shit up and can’t back it up.

I’m sure that if Hank did a song endorsing Obama you would say that he’s a great guy. How hypocrit and stupid.

You, Mister, are the f…ing fraud. Hank did more good than you can ever do in your sorry little excuse of a life. He’s not a sorry ass city boy like you who think it’s cool to call someone who you disagree with a “f…ing fraud”. Your comments and attitude are what’s disgraceful. Also, if you’d call yourself a man, you don’t say “f… you” to someone on the radio waves, you say it to their face. I, for one, would really enjoy to meet you in the back parking lot and show you how it’s done, your little coward.
Looser.

Well Wade, that’s your opinion, and I guess you’re certainly entitled to it. However, I simply don’t understand where you’re coming from. Let’s see here…you applaud “Hank Williams Jr. and Friends,” a truly breakthough album for Williams, where he teamed up with southern rockers and rebels like Toy and Tommy Caldwell, Dicky Betts, Charlie Daniels, etc. This was rather frowned upon by the Nashville establishment back in the seventies, yet Hank Jr. displayed a gigantic “F Off” to all of them and proceeded to go his own way. And here he is doing it again, collaborating with Kid Rock, a move decried by several fans of “traditional” Bocephus. Yet isn’t this just Hank Williams Jr. being Hank Williams Jr.?

Like you, Williams is entitled to his opinion. I happen to agree with him, and if you’ll do a little research instead of believing everything the news outlets shove down your throat, you’ll see that Clinton did have a hand in the subprime mortgage crisis. However, even if I did NOT agree with him, I don’t think I’d go so far as to disavow myself of his music. I mean, hey, I like Billy Joel, and he’s a left wing loon. Doesn’t meant I’m gonna stop listening to “Piano Man” any time soon. So, given that you so easily turn your nose up at the Hank’s music, I have to wonder about the authenticity of your claim to be a Hank fan.

By the way, “populist?” One of the great populists was Huey Long of Louisiana. Check out his rhetoric; pretty much the same as Barack Obama’s. Class warfare, redistribution of wealth, etc. There’s nothing new under the sun, and, as Hank and J.R. Cash once sang, “that ol’ wheel, it’s gonna roll around once more.”

Wade Tatangelo, Just so you know, Hank does own a farm in rural Pike County Alabama and its no mansion either. People don’t want to talk about the good things Hank does as Bocfusfaninfl said he donated over 100k to the Katrina fund, Hank visited a Virginia coal miner after he was trapped in a mine, He plays an active role in the education of his children and their school, has played countless benefit concerts. I don’t see any one criticizing Madonna for endorsing Obama or any of the other left wing liberal celebrities. Hank does not need fans or “former fans” such as your self to down him just because you disagree with the man, is just stupid. He is an American and has the right to freedom of speech if you don’t like it TURN THE CHANNEL! Did you like his re-write of A Country Boy Can Survive to America Can Survive after 9/11? What is the difference? He wrote that song in support of something he believed in HIS COUNTRY, now he wrote another supporting another of his beliefs and now he is “populist”? well the definition of Populism is a discourse which supports “the people” versus “the elites.” Democrat John Edwards called himself a “Populist” It sounds to me that you are being hippocratical.

There you go again, spouting off about stuff you don’t know shit about. The only people living in Paris, Tennessee are the WORKING CLASS. You are the typicial liberal do-gooder that attacks someone that has a contradicting opinion. His house is far from the “mansion” you keep wanting to charachterize. Another typical liberal stance, chastise those who have worked hard. Why shouldn’t he have a “mansion”, he has sold over 70 million records! And don’t forget he donated over $100,000, of HIS personal money to the Katrina Relief efforts.

If you are going to bash someone, you need to get your fucking facts straight!
