Hank Williams Jr. Doesn't Need To Ask If He Can Smoke In Our Studio...

Bocephus stops by the studio to smoke cigars and talk about his new album, "Rich White Honky Blues".

[@tinawolf8976]

I grew up listening to Hank Jr. Now I am 45, still can't get enough. He tells great country stories in his songs. His true grit is hard to find in other artists. You rule Hank. Love you in Southern California.

[@hellomimibanana]

He's really the only one that can say "icons don't ask, they tell." And still be loved by everyone afterwards 🤣 legend

[@tucker5229]

Really drunk!!!!!

[@SgtPepper4019]

Hank Jr is one of the very few individuals in history who was able to live up to mighty expectations and break away from his father’s shadow. Time after time the son of an icon just fails and is forgotten. Not just in music but in sports, film, politics etc. He proved what he could do and in the process rid himself of that heavy pressure. Jr has put out multiple high quality albums and he’s got one of the best voices of all time for country. The first time I heard him I just shook my head at how good it was. For this I commend him and he deserves all of the appraisal.

[@godislarge1]

Finally. Someone with stones enough to call it what it is. He wouldn't be an icon if his daddy was wasn't famous.

Thank you! IMO he's being very disrespectful to the interviewers. Also talks a lot of crap for someone who hasn't had a hit in decades.

[@MrPernell27]

@@qualityofmeyea he’s very disrespectful and rude to the interviewers. And he seems to think he’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened. Hasn’t had a hit in about 25 years and in terms of the greats of country music. He wouldn’t make the top 20. He’s certainly no Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash! But that’s a killer hat he’s wearing!

[@ADTinman]

I learned how to talk listening to Hank Jr and Waylon Jennings. We once went and took a tour of the house in Nashville. We couldn't go upstairs because someone from the family was staying there - but we got to see everything else. A few of years later, we drove by the house ... at the same time "A Country Boy Can Survive" came out. There was a Rolls Royce and about 5 Caddies in the driveway. A Country Boy Can Indeed Survive :)

I'm about the biggest hank fan out there but he's a little or alot on the arrogant side .

@@WhiteOak09 Lol, no you're right....he's EXTREMELY arrogant, and I think he's getting worse!!! I also have been a huge fan since the early 80's and every single "story" or brag, that comes out of his mouth is the same crap he talked about 40 yrs ago, and frankly I'm tired of it. Who cares!!! Anyone that has followed him knows these things about him, or at least should already. Yeah, we already know Jerry Lee taught him piano, some of those rockers from the 50's where fans of Hank Sr.. Stop with the stories and focus on making a decent country album. The past few album releases have totally sucked. These guys obviously must not know much about Hank if they're getting such a kick out of his ridiculous antics. This crap is so old already. 👎👎👎
