  • Hank Williams Jr. ended his Country Music Hall of Fame acceptance speech with a flex and a not-so-subtle dig at the institution welcoming him and his outlaw kind.
    #hankjr #hankwilliamsjr #countrymusichalloffame
    Hank Williams Jr., Dean Dillon and Marty Stuart were inducted during as the Country Music Hall of Fame's class of 2020.
    "The good thing is, this didn't happen yesterday," Williams began during his Nov. 21 speech, "which was the opening day of deer season. Which is kind of like squirrel season was with my father," his father being country music pioneer and Country Music Hall of Famer Hank Williams.
    "My little 6-year-old grandson sitting out there with his .44 Magnum Ruger, took his first deer," Willams revealed during his speech, smiling and pausing to allow the crowd to show its appreciation for the moment.
    At this point - 40 seconds into the speech - Williams was more than one-third finished. While fellow Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Marty Stuart spread his remarks over 13 minutes and Dean Dillon spoke for eight, Bocephus wrapped up in a tidy 1:48.

    Definitely a deserved induction. My best friend and I sent him a letter while we were in the Gulf War. We asked him if / to write a song about kicking butt and winning the war. Sure enough he did. Additionally he placed the letter in his museum. Along with sending both of us a fully autographed photo signed by his whole band. Utmost respect for him and his induction into the Hall of Fame.
    Semper Fi Mr. Williams.

      I agree with you, but I think that is the problem. Country music is edited now. It won't let any of our personal beliefs or stories Be told anymore. It's kind of like the opposite of tv. Country music used to be reality music. Now you might as well be watching the news.

    Sign of the times - whatever the institution: everybody HAS to be the same. Hank Williams Jr should have been in that club decades ago. He is a legend - can anybody say “Monday night Football” ? He represented country music values at times when others were joining “other” clubs with far different values. I’d like to say the True South is proud to call him their own - but actually is recognized worldwide as he should be.

    As George Jones would say, who's gonna feel there shoes. It's the legends like Waylon and Hank and Jones and Conway and so many others that will never be replaced or reproduced. They are all a sign of the best days really are over for good and there will never be anyone else like the greats that paved the way. It's hard to choose between the two but the 2 favorite songs from Hank for me are Mr Lincoln and weatherman. Every time I listen to either one I think if that isn't the truth and owe how sad it is to see where the world is today and the shape of this country and what certain garbage in the political realm have turned it into is just a sad state of affairs. It's certainly clear that there is a reason why this man wasn't placed into country music hall of Fame many years ago because he is absolutely one of the best that's ever been and is long past due to be placed into this so called hall of Fame. The reason why I'm sure is because of his political views and what he believes and stands for just like so many others that are censored and silenced and aren't heard from because of the sides agenda and power

Not sure if they will ruin and/or cancel him by the time he hits it big but I think while his music doesn’t sound exactly the same as the good ole boys I think the nature of his song writing and style is reminiscent of the good ole days of country. True pain and sadness u can feel watching him.

    Well deserved, and to say the least, it was about time. Hank has been a true entertainer for decades. From the first time I heard family tradition I knew he was going to be an icon in the outlaw, country music industry. Sometimes the mainstream didn't quite see eye to eye with hanks style, But people like myself didn't care about all that. Hank is a true patriot who loves this country the way it was and the way it's going to be again. I have to say Hank has been my musical hero for decades. I have seen him in concert more times that i can count, and each time he never disappointed the audience.A highlight for me was when I met him in NYC in 2010 at the XMsirius studio We had a one on one discussion about hunting farming and music. That is when I realized that Hank is just a regular guy that is one hell of an entertainer. Congratulations Mr Hank Williams JR You are a true icon.
