And, more importantly, who doesn't associate country with rednecks and confederates? Hank was brilliant, but he's definitely a huge part of this 'old timey' America. Biographically it's fairly well-known that he was a bit of a womaniser, and there's definitely a hint that he may have been 'romantically involved' with a certain underage member of the Carter family who possibly went on to marry Johnny Cash. This doesn't take much away from his music, for me, but that's mostly because he is significantly better than the majority of proper cunts in country. Although, having said that, I do really like Toby Keith.

Womanizers exist everywhere. Fuck, JFK was a womanizer. And underage girls, really? This has absolutely nothing to do with the south or country music, as I can only imagine most stars of his stature ranging from his time up 'till the early 80's were involved w/ underage girls (seriously, there is no shortage of stories on this topic floating about). Some still get mixed up in this sort of thing, it's just much more difficult to get away with it these days in these days.

Led Zep fucked a girl with a shark, + Hank was fuckin' June Carter...hype, man. Speculation. Fun, yes...but not worth taking seriously and like you yourself this shouldn't take away from the music.

And no doubt, the guy is indeed still a part of "old timey" south. I say this because most newer fans of the genre seldom even seem to know who the guy is, and when they do 9 times out of 10 it's "my parents/grandparents listened to that", and it's left at just that. That said, even in Hanks death he has successfully managed to break barriers. Nick Cave is a huge fan, Steve Shelley is a fan, there was a compilation of Hank music released some years ago aimed at "alternative music fans", other post mortem compilations have been aimed at the fans who dig the "blusier" aspects of his music. Today, at least around here (the heart of what most not-in-the-know would consider "redneck country") most younger fans of his music come from a more punk rock background. Rockabilly kids, psychobilly (a term I absolutely hate) kids, punk rock kids are championing his music more than anyone else. Fucker was more of a rebel than any John Lennon, and I don't give a shit what anyone has to say about that, either. His music happened to be brutally honest, full of intense emotion (something lacking in most all today's mainstream country music)...ranging from the sad and lonesome tunes, to other more rockin'/fun shit. He was an artist, and the ignorant (like kinn) seem to want to water down this fact by posting pictures of an era of "redneck'' which has little-no-NOTHING to do with the world Hank grew up in as well as the world he's managed to have a massive impact on...an impact he himself in no way could have realized.

Almost never met a Hank fan I didn't like.

I've met tons of kinns I didn't like, though. They are a dime a fucking dozen. Smoking cigarettes and talking about shit they know nearly nothing about in mall parking lots + on online forums.

The Hank III fans are of this nature. I went through a Hank III Hank Sr Johnny Cash obession for about a year. I was explorin my ol country roots. I would NEVER listen to any of that shit before, but here it is about our lives and it has expanded into the world of punk in a big way. I'm not sure if that is bad or not. Like I said before I went to see Hank III the group of fans was not what I expected. Not trying to be judgemental, but this is Jacksonville, Fl Most were uneducated trash gothed out wearin hank and cash shirts or stupid chicks decked out in june carter punkish outfits. Another reason why we did not stay, the vibe was dissapointing.

Hank SR was def an ol southern boy with all of the good and bad that comes along with it, but he sang and wrote his soul and has helped alot of us mixed up cuntry folk through some hard days. So i'm not gonna let that aspect detract from his music that I love and the memories it brings me. Fuck I have to love my white trash redneck family members all like 100 of them. You can only understand if you have grown up around (edit: in) this shit. I chose to not be like them, but they are still my blood and you cannot live without yr blood. I just find humor in it they are lovable chracters.

there's only one swa alright, and thats' punishment enough.

will yall stop picking at each other

n'ik is pretty cool.

Cool thread! I truly realized how great he was when I was about 14. I got 40 greatest hits and that was enough to make me a fan forever..
There's some speculation that Hank Jr. is not really the son of Hank Sr. I believe his Mom changed his name.. Regardless, Jr. always got my nerves, but Sr. wrote great songs and great melodies.

I'm increasingly beginning to think of Sonic Gail in relation to scenes in carnivale.

Yeah, I look up to the womaniser as being something I'm too nerdy to be.
