Hank Williams Jr. upset about Obama win

[RandySF]

Country star Hank Williams Jr. really wanted the presidential election to go the other way.

Fuming about President Barack Obama’s victory, he tweeted Thursday: “America has committed Economic Suicide.”

Williams hasn’t hidden his disdain for the president. He got in trouble for comparing Obama to Hitler last year and released a song knocking POTUS over the summer.

1. Whew that's a relief, I would be disppointed if he wasn't upset. nt

[Whovian]

2. Wow. This information coming from such an economic genious is disturbing.

Wait, what? He's just a drunk? Never mind.

[JohnnyRingo]

4. LOL!!!

I can see why you'd be confused. He makes a good case throwing about numbers and charts.

5. OHHHHHH YEEEEEAAAH, YEAH!

Go to 3:30 of this video to see how much of a clown Williams is. What a disgrace to his dad's name. To the brain-based community Hank Williams Jr. is more remembered with his "OH YEAH YEAH" moment on Fox Boobs than any "music" he ever made.

7. the dude is an a-hole but a pretty good musician...

i won't try to prove the musician part here unless challenged...

the proof, though, is incontrovertible

[Le Taz Hot]

15. I've been a musician for 40 years.

The boy has NO talent. The "proof" is in his sorry ass simplistic, 3-chord songs that could be written by any 8 year old. OK, every now and then he throws in a iii or a vi to prove he's versatile.

Not to mention the fact that he shows up at his concerts stone cold drunk on his ass should tell you that even HE doesn't respect his "music," his band (who has to cover for his sorry ass) or his audience.

[Are_grits_groceries]

17. Agreed! (I have dabbled with the oboe.)

If he wasn't Hank's son, he'd still be wandering around the chitlin' circuit. He just half-screams shite out of tune into mics. His daddy was a great song writer and country singer, but Junior ain't all that.

BTW I would give cash money to be able to hear Patsy Cline in concert. That woman could flat out sing, and she gave as good as she got. Today, she would be a huge crossover.

A bunch of Grand Ole Opry members played Carnegie Hall. They took some requests, and they asked Alison Krauss to sing one of Patsy's songs. Krauss is another talent. I bet the angels listen to her sing. I loved the CD that she and Robert Plant released. Talk about an odd couple.

[Le Taz Hot]

19. I LOVE Alison Krauss.

She's one of my stations on my Pandora and yes, I've heard several songs from the Alison Krause/Robert Plant CD. They are an odd couple but it sure worked, didn't it?

Patsty Cline! (Swoon!) Her technique remains unmatched to this day. That half-cry without sounding whiny or nasal. She's the only one that has ever been able to pull that off. "Walkin' After Midnight" remains one of my all-time favorite Country songs. My grandmother had several of her albums and I'd listen to them for hours -- over and over and over again (my grandmother was a very patient woman).

[Are_grits_groceries]

20. Lol!

Your grandmother probably secretly enjoyed the Patsy playathon. I could listen to her all day and have on some long rides.

[GoCubsGo]

24. Yep. He's a Lucky Sperm Club member.

I'm not sure he'd even make it in the chitlin' circuit without that. I understand Hank III has some talent. Looks like it skips a generation.

[Are_grits_groceries]

25. The Third isn't bad.

He sings and looks more like his grandaddy. That's a good thing too. Doubt he'll be huge, but he's better than Junior without trying.

[cheriemedium59]

28. I am a musician too...

I agree 100%. He has been playing on his daddy's coat tails all of his life.
The man is rough around the edges, mean and ignorant.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Um no he's not. His dad would be ashamed.

He's a very poor musician.

[Paladin]

30. Give Him His Due:

Hank Jr easily has one-tenth the musical talent of his father.

[Sheldon Cooper]

21. He's still bitter over Krugman beating him out for the Nobel.

[JohnnyRingo]

3. Yes, if we tax Bocefus the country will go straight down the economic tubes.

He'll have to lay off his bass player and the resulting poor performances will sell fewer CDs. The loss in album sales will cause him to further idle band members until it's just him and an accoustic guitar with a pair of cymbals between his knees. See how that "trickle down government works"?

The good news is he can write a country music song about it, but I'd just as soon he didn't.

[rsweets]

29. Priceless ... thanks for the chuckle

[lebkuchen]

6. It wasn't Obama's fault that Hank lost his Monday night gig

It was Hank's. Get a clue Jr.

[Elwood P Dowd]

8. Another draft dodger I need to add to the Chickenhawk Hypocrite list. (nm)

I think it's more of the same from these types of people. The comments from this person (The one who depends on hiding behind dark glasses and a hat) , shows us he is nervous or unstable or at the least, not confident in himself. I have only heard of him one other time and that was in a reference to his Father. He should be pitied and treated accordingly . In that, deprogramming should begin immediately for this individuale and prognoses should then resume. Of course treatment depends on insurance coverage and we all know (because an emergency room IS America' health care) after he is treated he can then rage at the ridicules cost of that visit and blame it on Obama.

He is an Idiot.

10. Who gives a fuck? n/t

[eShirl]

11. Hank2 = ODS

He not only is ODIOUS, he has Obama Derangement Syndrome.

[madrchsod]

12. he`s old and in the way...

has`t had a hit in years,the country music scene has become more liberal,and the young c&w fans think his music sucks.

[Uben]

13. Fuck the pussy bastard.....

....he's a has been.

[Tabasco_Dave]

14. Give him a bottle of Rich & Rare and some generic cigarettes

and that should calm him down.

[hobbit709]

16. That no-talent hack knows as much about economics as he does about anything else.

ZERO=ZERO.

[bigtree]

18. c'mon

junior can't really do math.

[GoCubsGo]

23. Tough shit, Skank. n/t

[justiceischeap]

26. Boy, all these people hellbent on economic disaster

are just going to end up looking silly in 4 years.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Awwww.... Poor baby!

[jschurchin]

31. He has joined a long list of irrelevant assholes.

Perhaps if any of them were willing to become part of the mainstream America they would matter. Unfortunately they find that beyond their level of intelligence.

[stlsaxman]

32. Jr. (if he really IS The Great Hank Williams' son...) oughta head Daddy's warning-

[ladjf]

33. It's always a "good sign" when one of the Republican "reverse Universe" is upset about

some political happening. nt
