"Has anyone ever written anything for you?" Stevie Nicks asked on a 1989 B-side. As far as I know, the answer would be no. Who even "writes" anymore? If not face to face, most communication these days is done by tapping a keypad with your fingers. And texts, instant messages and Facebook wall posts will never count. My ex-boyfriend said he bought me a card for my last birthday, and I presume that he wrote something in it, but he forgot it at home when he came [...]

Brad Paisley, Hank Williams Jr. and Carrie Underwood The 2011 Country Music Association Awards were about rewarding the best in country music during its big show that took place last night (November 9). But besides that, it was also about fun. Hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood had a whole lot of fun during their opening monologue as they took on two of entertainment's biggest news stories recently: Hank Williams Jr .'s "Monday Night Football" theme being banned from ABC (the same network that aired the CMA Awards) and Kim Kardashian 's 72 [...]

Minds being funny things and all, a recent period of having Cliff Richard's "Bachelor Boy" in my head (which surely must rank as one of the most egregious earworms in history) has driven me toward Hank Williams' "I'll Be A Bachelor Till I Die". Now if you've never listened to ol' Hank, you really need to. Like, now. And if you have, well, you know what treat is in store, don't you? MP3: I'll Be A Bachelor Till I Die by Hank Williams [...]

The only thing more exciting than the release of 12 previously unrecorded Hank Williams lyrics is the group of artists recruited to put them together. The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams is exactly what its name suggests -- songs taken from the songwriter's notebooks, left behind in a briefcase and vaulted for the next 50-some-odd years. The release of this album continues the Williams' legend by marking the first time these lyrics have been put in public, but meanwhile the roster of artists on the track listing is not only impressive, it's mesmerizing. Let's put it this way: if [...]

PopMatters10 Possible Monday Night Football Replacements For Hank Williams, Jr.
Oct 6, 2011, 4:24pm
Stereogum
StereogumAs you may have heard, country music lifer Hank Williams, Jr. has parted ways with Monday Night Football , the TV show he spent 20 years singing the intro for, just because he made a totally calm and reasonable parallel between Barack Obama and Adolf Hitler. (He also compared John Boehner to Netanyahu? Whatever.) If you haven't seen the clip of Williams crashing and burning on Fox And Friends , it's absolutely worth your three minutes and 31 seconds, if only for the three anchors' amazing facial expressions during the pivotal moment.
