Hank Jr opens his mouth and shows his idiot self again. The Hubs used to be a fan but didn't even

want tickets to his latest show. Said he was washed up!

~~~~~



Hank Williams Jr. received some of the biggest publicity of his career last October, when he appeared on Fox & Friends criticizing a golf game between President Obama and House Speaker John A. Boehner. "It'd be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu," he said. The clip went viral, and ESPN permanently dropped Williams' "Monday Night Football" theme from its programming after 22 years. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Williams doubles down on the analogy. "I was right," he says. "ESPN might have done me the biggest favor in the world. It has snowballed since October."

More than half the songs on Williams' newly-released LP, Old School, New Rules, are raging political commentaries, from the Obama-blasting "Keep the Change" to "Takin' Back Our Country," which samples his father's vocals while railing against everything from ESPN to social media.

"Old School" is my favorite new song of yours. What does being from the old school stand for in your mind?
