- 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.

Hank doesn't need any hall of fame he's a living legend
Amen
AMEN BROTHER.!!!!!!
AMEN BROTHER!!!!!!
Hell yeah.
Who is he ?
No, Hank doesn't need it. But the Hall of Fame needs him.
About 3 decades to late.
Hank never needed support from the establishment, he had our support.
THE FANS. HANK IS THE GREATEST
My thoughts exactly
facts!!!!
I’ve seen Hank Jr live 15 times, and owned every album at one time or another. He IS country music. He doesn’t need the establishment to tell him. What he and his fans already know. He is the man!!!
Whatever Hank Jr’s personal beliefs and traditions are, we all must agree that he definitely deserves to be in the CMHOF. And that camo blazer is killer 😂!
I think he had 9 albums in the top 200 billboard at one time in the 80's. That is insane.
@@zzeus43 indeed!!!
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.
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.

Nice!
Thank You Mr. Thompson Sir for your service..Happy Thanksgiving
True American , Great music from a legend...
Thank you Sir, for your service.
Should've been in the Hall of Fame DECADES ago. The man always tells it like it is. God bless and keep you, Hank!
I love Hank, He's a fine American. I grew up listening to His Daddys Songs Sitting by a fire a Lake Lanier ! "Many⁸ Sweet Young Times !
And that's why Trashville doesn't like him.
Hank Jr is bigger than the hall of fame. Just like his daddy
*FLATWATER5, I'M SURPRISED THAT THE NOW WOKE NASHVILLE GANG ALLOWED HIM INTO IT AT ALL AS THEY USUALLY CENSOR AMERICAN PATRIOTS TODAY!*
Same goes with Tanya Tucker! Maybe not decades but at lest ten years earlier
This country needs more people like Hank
This recognition is long overdue. Have been listening to him for nearly 40 years. Respect for him, his beliefs and his attitude run as deep as the veins of coal throughout the hills of SWPA where I grew up.
Hank was true to himself during the program, I would expect no less. Well deserved a long time ago. You rock Bocephus!
100% correct
Hank wanted to rebel against the Nashvill establishment and did so! so the ONLY choice was MUSCLE Shoals Alabama! The same with the late mac Davis who spent about ten years in Muscle Shoals racking up great music with the late great Rick Hall who was somewhat of a Rebel himself!
About freakin’ time. He’s a legend they can’t deny. They don’t let artists like him in so called country today. 90% of it is pop music.
absolute shit the real stuff ya only hear on outlaw country and alt. rock stations..
Honestly I don't know how you call it country music anymore it just sounds so much like mainstream pop
Saw Hank live a few years ago. Hands down the best concert I've ever been to. What a talented charismatic individual. The way he told his story and shared his memories and beliefs was incredible. It would be a dream to spend an afternoon with him. An education too.
Good for him. He tells it like it is. Best Country artist since his father, IMO
Hello,How are you doing today, I was just going through a post on a page then your profile caught my attention and you seem worth talking to so I could not pass by without saying hi and ask how you doing.
Always loved that Hank went against the grain. He's never and I mean NEVER let anyone or anything change who he is, even after all these years. He's what you call, the real deal. Us West Virginia coal miners respect the hell out of him!
Ya know where I can find the video of him saying he's ashamed to of ever been a democrat?
Us florida boys respect the hell out of him too
All my rowdy friends is him literally singing about how they've all changed. He was different in this speech . Never ? Anyone ? Anything ? Read his book . This is hugely false.
He wouldn't be Hank if he didn't go against the grain
@Josh B That's hilarious.
Hank Jr is a legend and is the perfect example of what country is and should be.
Hank IS country music. So many owe him so much! Thank you, Bocephus! You ROCK!!👍❤️🇺🇸🦌
It's about time! Congrats Hank Jr! I don't think there is a time in my 43 yrs your music wasn't played in my family's home. You are a man to be admired not only for your music but you have always stood by your beliefs no matter the cost. That to me is what makes you a true and honorable LEGEND! May God Bless you and your family. You have deserved this recognition for a very long time.
Hello,How are you doing today, I was just going through a post on a page then your profile caught my attention and you seem worth talking to so I could not pass by without saying hi and ask how you doing.
Hank is a true patriot we need more people like him.
Yes. Thank you for your service, Hank.
Hank is a True Blue Patriot For Sure.
What makes him a patriot?
Patriot huh? That sure is a cheap word these days. While the rest of us were doing our patriotic duty halfway around the world, he used his daddy’s name and privilege to stay home to pluck his guitar and pretend to be a hippie. So because he now supports your fu-keyed notion of what the country once was and now should be he is some sort of hero to you? You ain’t any better that these A-holes going out burning and looting.
@@rickkrough6167 I stand with Rick
Hank was already firmly in the Hall of Fame, they just finally came around to acknowledging him.
Yes, all these ‘award’ ceremonies are fairly political and have a a lot of cronyism.
Amen
He doesn’t need acknowledgment from some “academy” he has proven himself multiple times over. As long as he is alive, he will be a country boy and act as one. “If you like me, great! If not, that’s your problem!” God bless Mr. Williams, & keep being a country boy
I was a kid in the 70s listening to anything but country and then I heard FAMILY TRADITION and LUCHENBACH for the first time and not only my music taste changed but my whole way of life! Wranglers and boots replaced bell bottoms and becoming a true man became my first priority God Bless you Hank! God Bless Waylon!!!
Hank, You're the best! I've seen you perform live three times with my son and we thoroughly enjoyed your shows, all in West Palm Beach. My son had the privilege of meeting you at a meet and greet. My father liked your father too. I hope to meet you in heaven. May God's best be yours.
Hank has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I consider him a founding father of country music. The Hall of fame is long over due for him.
Well his dad was founding father, hard to be a founding father when you became popular in the seventies
Are you 10 years old and not able to hear music from before the 70s? Hank would be nothing without his dad’s work, and his son plays country a lot better than he ever did.
@@tylerblackman6476 Think whatever you want about Jr., but he’s not a founding father of country music.
@@tylerblackman6476 You got that right!
Congratulations, You deserved this award years ago Hank Williams Jr.
I grew up listening to Hank, and Country Boy can survive was, and still is my anthem, It gets me rowdy everytime I hear it, lol!
God Bless Hawk Williams jr. Real country
Can't blame him for not being too big on today's style of 'country' music.
Why would he be a fan of southern pop music?
As far as mainstream anything I can say with confidence that country is completely dead.
Hopefully the independent scene will revive it, but a certain kind of politics are corrupting everything and I believe that will hinder things.
It doesn't have to and shouldn't, but it already is.
Bocephus does real country music
@@TylerSnyder305 Because it isn’t really country. They need their own genre, because it gives others the idea that it is country. Nothing wrong with the new music, it just isn’t country.
I’m not very big on modern Country. Give me some Texas Swing anytime!
As I was saying lol... recorded is about as country as a pizza lol
He’s right about the modern country. Hank Jr. tops them ALL.
He's sort of the reason modern country sucks- he was the first to tarnish traditional country music with "party" songs like Born to Boogie , Young Country etc... this was an abomination and it opened the door to "Bro-Country" and "Party" music which is all horrible and deplorable.
@@kristophstjames4143 you sound horrible yourself. Let’s see you sell music and top him.
Excellent hank, you keep the hunting tradition going. Good man!!!
Congratulations Hank! Well deserved. Keep on keeping on!
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.
Oh yes, and oh how I love this man and his songs. Yes, my Lord, YES, he has been so long overdue for this award. I have been a true fan of his for so many years. I think it was the early 1980's and his music still makes me feel so alive and has now for somewhere around or close to 40 years. Congratulations!!! Hank this award is so well deserved and so very long overdue. I am so proud of you and so proud for you. May God continue blessing you everyday, cause they don't makem like Hank anymore, and that's for sure.
Do you all not know hank is the godfather of country music mafia & NOBODY GETS IN country music WITHOUT HIS VOTE !
@Charlie Daniels Nashville and Hollywood always has to pay for their sins on camera. But they keep doing the same thing.
Hank doesn't need their approval. We love Hank jr.
Never, ever schedule anything on first couple days of deer season! It's always a given. First couple days of deer season in Some counties in WV is an excused absence for school children.
He should have been placed in it a long time ago, but sadly even the country music establishment is riddled with politics. Congratulations, well deserved and long over due.
Yep look.no further than liberal Nashville
I HATE that Coubtry music has been overtaken by liberals.
Today's country music is garbage, I played country from the 60's through the 80's when it was real.
Hank Jr belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because he is responsible for rocking up country music in a very good way!
1 min 48 seconds is all he needed, short and you the point! Congratulations Hank Williams Jr.
Love Hank Jr I don't understand why these radio stations that call themselves Country don't play Hank Jr a lot of us love to hear him
Because they are all WOKE because they are scared they’ll be called a racist for play some song that someone assumes and screams is racist so everyone runs to support that person because “day are such viictiiimmss””.. ya get it
@@rbbme Exactly !! I do not listen to the "new" country music now. I have plenty of CD's from the days of real country music , including Charlie Daniels senior .
He is the reason I started listening to country music as an 8 year old kid in 1978.
He definitely is the reason I got back into country. Listened to country in the 60's. Then came ro
Me to James I was 16 years old 1981.I first herd Dixie On My Mind.
@@CueBallRacer the ballad of Hank williams is a kickass song to All of hank's songs are top notch
You need the mentality of an eight-year-old to listen to him
@@jamesd.wheeler6190 I disagree. I do not like his political bullshit but his songs about love, life, the outdoors, and other stuff, is very good but he can be an ass hat on his politics.
It’s about time!! Love ya Hank and congratulations 🎊🎉🍾
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANK. We love you and this should have happened over 25 years ago. Much Love God bless.
Just a real person, not about being a rebel, he has just always been who he is, authentic and speaks from his real thoughts and what is true, nothing wrong with that, so much respect for this guy.
I can't, "skin a buck, or run a trot line", but I grew up listening to Hank Jr in the late 70's and early 80's. I grew up in a small town where even the kids who listened to hard rock & metal knew who he was and loved his music. That says a lot about an artist who can cross music genres. Congratulations!
At the end of the day, we're all just looking to get laid and have a good time with the people around us, were the same playdough that's got pushed through different molds and taught that the different shapes that result aren't actually the same thing. When we figure it out though, man that's when doors open and lives become enriched in ways they might have shut out otherwise. -heavymetal skateboarding punk transplanted into culture shock no where's ville Texas that after 6 years of fighting all the good ol boys went on to have a helluva 7th year partying in the pasture and chasing skinny dipping girls in stock tanks and flooded creeks at 3am 🗽🤫
Me and my friends would jam Anthrax, Pearl Jam, Janes Addiction but had no problem kicking back and putting on Waylon, Jones, Twitty or Hank (both father and son). Never understood anyone limiting themselves to just one genre.
@@dont.ripfuller6587 Hooray for the boonies!
All 3 Hanks are immortal. May future generations cherish them as I do
Love Hank Jr, “BOCEPHUS”. Grew up listening to Hank Jr, and partied many weekends at the lake and sitting around a bonfire listening to Hank Jr. He is “THE REAL DEAL”, because “A Country Boy Can Survive”
Hello,How are you doing today, I was just going through a post on a page then your profile caught my attention and you seem worth talking to so I could not pass by without saying hi and ask how you doing.
Hello Renae Cartledge, How're you doing,
Your comment caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!❤️
Congratulations Hank! Been a fan for over 50 years.I can skin a buck and run a trot line and us Country boys will survive.
No he wasn’t wrong. He was honored and had the mic.
SO GLAD TO SEE THIS HAPPEN!!!! He finally got the recognition he deserved AND HE IS STILL DOIN' IT HIS WAY.....
After 51 years of Hank and his son Hank jr.
I have wrote 101 country song's.
And thanks to their inspiration, ive grown into a strong willing hunble man. Fighting fer Our Rights to make a Stand. Because Hank jr had it right. Only a Country boy can survive.
There’s only one way to celebrate Hanks long overdue induction to the hall of fame, we all need to get whiskey bent and hell bound!
As ol Bocephus said "I tried the hard stuff, but I had to let all that go".
This man was snubbed for years while his other country music friends made it years ago !! Glad Hank 2 didn't ever change his ways to fit the mold !! 👍👍
I’m a 51 years old Agriculture. My students, boys, girls, hispanics, black, and white all sing the same songs of Hank, Jr songs. He crosses many line and generations. Life well lived and award earned.
Congratulations Hank!
Long time coming.
Long overdue.
Let them all choke on it!
God bless
His opinion on country music today is spot on. There’s few like Hank Jr.
Don't believe there are any like Him..
Well it's about time Bocephus got in. His music has help me and so many other's through tuff times. Thank you for everything you have done.
It's about time to see a good old boy get the recognition he deserved. Hank Williams jr. As well as his father are both exactly what country music is all about! And I hope he carries on that family tradition for years to come, congratulations!
Growing up,A country boy can survive was something my dad said to me many times while I was learning to survive. Thanks Hank. You were already a hall of famer to me.
Hank Williams Jr is a true living legend it doesnt matter if he gives a speech our not his fans will always love him
Hank Williams was a big part of my childhood, and he's probably the reason I'm so rowdy today. LOL I looked up to him, as I still do today. He has ALWAYS stood up for what he believed in, and quite frankly I'm surprised he showed up to accept his award. I love you Hank Williams, and nobody deserves this award more than you. ❤️
His opening comment put them in their place and they know it.
God bless ❤
Congratulations Hank ! A well deserved honor that was way overdue.

I am a Huge fan of Hank's, and was a member of his Early Fan Club, and now a member of "Hardcore Hank Williams Jr. Fan Club" on Facebook. He is my All Time Favorite Country Music Singer, Songwriter and Musician. Love ya, Hank, and Congratulations.

My husband quoted you all the time, "A country boy can survive"! You are truly an incredible talent and with no apologies for who you are. I like that!
YESSA I LOVE YOU HANK...CONGRATULATIONS... ITS ABOUT TIME 👏💘
I cooked dinner for Hank and his wife at the Mustard Seed in Hamilton Montana when I was 18. What a strange experience lol one I'll never forget.

Congratulations Hank your the man, no myth, but a big legend.
You’ve proven from Muscle shulls to Nashville that you, Hank Jr. are the Country Boy that survived. God Bless and never change that.
I loved Hank's music when I was 17!

His Dad would be very proud of him!❤ His mother, twice as proud!❤

Grew up on Jr.s music,IT'S ABOUT F N TIME....!!! ENOUGH SAID
Mr Weatherman is my all time favorite. He has so many great songs its hard to say which is his best..
Hell Hank, congratulations, but you were already in our hall and hearts of fame. Thank you for the music.
Well deserved and long overdue 👏🙌! No he ain't his daddy and he has stayed true to his fans! He has also honored his father but cut his own way. God bless him for his life time of work! He did it his way!
If I had to pick my favorite Hank Williams Jr song it would be "Tear in my beer", just for that reason.
@@cward1954 A great song showing the respect and love between a father and son .
Hank and Marty both should've been put in the Hall of Fame long time ago.
Congrats bud welll deserved love y’all’s music ur a true icon and truly are a livin legend
Yes from a long time fan, it is so inspiring that someone with such a profound learning disability can achieve so much!
Congrats Hank Jr. Well deserved and never too late to acknowledge someone who brought us a new musical genre.
All I can say is thank you Hank Jr . He dang sure don't beat around a bush. Where did the country go in the songs we hear now
The CMHOF should be ashamed of itself. Hank Jr is a legend and doesn’t need them. After that long, their lucky he showed up at all!
I have always loved every song I have heard Hank Jr sing,it would be hard to pick my favourite. One at the top of the list is “old habits”. He is my favourite country singer.
Hank Jr. Just Put The Country Music Establishment On Notice. Hank Has Always Stood For What's Right. Not Just Country Music ButThe Entertainment World In General Left Me Along Time Ago
Bout Time, can’t beat Ol’Hank!! 🤠👍
Hank Jr is an ICON and this should have happened years ago!
I'm a fan forever. Great music. Listen to your songs all the time.
Happy for Hank Jr. He deserved this award a long time ago ! I love him so !
M
Mmm
@@daisystone2164 1111aa113we
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.
Thank you Hank for all the music.
A living testament that a "Country Boy Can Survive".. Often imitated, But never duplicated!!
