HUFF--I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT---I ALWAYS LIKED WAYLON JENNINGS SINCE HE STARTED IN COUNTRY MUSIC.I JUST DIDNT LIKE THE WORDS A SHARE CROPPER--THATS WHAT GOT ME--AND ITS TRUE HANK DIDNT LIVE LONG--BUT THAT DOESNT TAKE AWAY HIS IMPORTANCE OF PAVING THE WAY FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTRY SINGERS--AND IT IS A FACT WAYLON WAS DIEING HIMSELF WHEN HE MADE THE STATEMENT-I AM A TRUE MERLE HAGGARD FAN--AND HE HAS DONE SOME THINGS I DIDNT CARE FOR--THATS AT THE 12 CONCERTS I HAVE ATTENDED-BUT I DIDNT CARE.
WAYLON JENNINGS IS NOW MY PICK AS AN ASS HOLE--HOW DARE HIM TO SAY HANK JR MADE HANK SR LOOK LIKE A SHARE CROPPER--WITHOUT HANK SR THERE WOULD BE NO HANK JR--AND HANK SR PAVED THE WAY FOR ALL THESE WHINERS AND SO CALLED EXPERT OPNIONS--WHAT THE HELL DOES WAYLON JENNINGS KNOW ABOUT HANK SR?WHEN WAYLON MADE THAT STATEMENT HE WAS DIEING HIMSELF.HANK SR HAD BEEN DEAD 6 YEARS WHEN WAYLON FIRST STARTED PLAYING COUNTRY--KEEP YOUR DAM MOUTH SHUT WHEN YOU BAD MOUTH HANK SR. THE SHAKESPHERE OF COUNTRY.
@hagblay hank sr. was waylon's musical idol growing up.imo waylon is more expressing hank jr.'s influence on country music because as waylon say's"hank jr. lived".thus bringing more of a musical legacy.hank sr. only recorded for a short time,3 yearsw i think,and never had the chance to grow musically as he aged.if you listen to waylon interviews and to his songs you will see waylon had the deepest respect and admiration for hank williams.
come on now waylon, I know your tryna be modest and all you gotta look at it this way Hank Sr. was old timey, you didnt do songs like Hank Jr. did back then or people thaught you were the devil, Hank Sr. didnt have the time to write as many songs as Jr, Hank Sr. paved the way for Jr. and many other country gold artists, if he had more time on this earth he would of been the greatest of his time
I've been looking for something like this for a long while friend... Thank you for sharing the story of the greatest country performer of all time...... I really am happy to have found this . great 5 stars man....
I agree,, I have a high respect for Hank Sr and love his sound and style. He was the Cast and Hank Jr was the Mold.. Then Hank Jr broke that mold and kicked ass with his own sound and style... Alot of ppl down Hank Jr and call him aragant, But i admire it... He was forced and expected to sound just like his daddy, and got treated bad when he sang his own music. But he didn't care and did what he wanted and still showed the world what he could do and told em all to kiss his ass.. Hank Jr Rocks
I like Jr. but I think Jennings is DEAD WRONG when he said Jr. makes Hank Sr. look like a share cropper. Sorry, but no matter how good Hank Jr. is, he will never be his daddy.
@crazycuntryboy2 thats the whole point he dosnt wanna be his daddy he was forced to do that from the age of 8 so he is better than his daddy cos he is totely diffrent than his daddy
I saw this when it aired. God bless all us southern boys. The drinkin ,Druggin Crazy women and wild times. I'm grateful they and we lived through them. Got some funny stories. Alot of broken hearts.
The only guy I would get drunk with today is my man HANK! Thanks for postin. Keep crankin 'em out HANK, We'll keep 'em turned up.
Three generations of Hank. Now that is da poop!!!!!!!!

"Hank Jr. makes Hank Sr. look like a sharecropper." Waylon Jennings. Nuff said.
