    Grew up in Chicago. I had a very low opinion of Country Folk, all the usual stereotypes. Then at 19 I joined the Marine Corps, and in case y'all don't know the military is full of Country boys. Next thing I know I'm in the middle of a desert with these guys, drinking illegal Whiskey(Muslim country), and blasting this song. Right then and there, I fell in love with Country Folk and Country Music. Country Folk aren't anything like they're depicted. They know so much stuff. I was in WV partying with my buddy, and I was blown away. One of his buddies dads was completely remodeling the upstairs of his house, while working in a coal mine, and taking of rescue horses, and growing a giant garden, and hunting, and and and....They are amazing people.

Hunt, fish, weed mamaw's big garden so we get awesome vegetable soup and cornbread. Green bean snapping parties. Soup beans with ham hocks and onion. Smoked sock sausage that was walking around last year. "You boys can eat breakfast if you go get the eggs"

      Hank Jr is an icon one of only 2 left. His music is a mix of his dad's music and his own. He still uses a lot of strings like his dad done but adds his own voice and style . He quite often will sing his dad's songs or also sing about his dad. So in one way or another he keeps his dad's music alive. But make no mistake he blends his style and his dad's style and does it well. He also sang in family tradition that although his kind of music and his father's ain't quite the same. So he pleases his father's fans and picked up his own fans too..plays just enough of his dad's music . Just enough of his dad's strings style. And sing just enough of his dad's music . And speaks just enough about his dad in song. But does not over due it. It is a hard balance but he does it. So he pleases his own fans and his father's fans. He has so many great songs. But my favorite is Diamond Mine .or Man to Man. Or another day Old habits are hard to break. .. or stone at the juke box. The only 2 icons left in country music are Hank Jr and gene Watson

    Hank Williams Jr is one tough dude. In 1975 when Hank was just 26 years old he fell 530 ft off of Ajax Mountain in Montana. He hit all kinds of rocks on his way down and had to have 17 surgeries to return to health and his face looks nothing like it did previously and is one of the reasons he always wears sunglasses. He credits his survival with the fact that he never blacked out even when it took rescuers 6 hours to reach him. His father was a Country Music Legend who lived a short but extremely successful life. Hank Jr's song "Family Tradition" is a great one that talks about following in his father's footsteps with his vices.

    Hank Williams Jr is a good person. I am from West Virginia. He came to West Virginia in 2006 to see the sole survivor of The Sago Mine cave in. He went to the mine, went part way in to experience what coal mining would be like. Tried to bring awareness to others about the experience. He tells the truth, country people all over the world will survive.

Not a lot of velocity as I recall but it was intended for a target load, not a hunting load.

We would all shoot a deer each, during the season, and then we'd make deer sausage, backstrap, etc. "We say grace and we say ma'am, if you ain't into that we don't give a damn."....true story!

Was walking in the woods at 11 with a Colt 22mag Peacemaker and a 20 Guage Featherlite or a 22 Mag Marlin Lever Action Rifle depending on what I was hunting. We had three Entrance doors each had a Rifle and Shotgun behind the door. We had a huge garden and we canned everything. I am 63 and I wouldn't want to survive in the woods but I can.

    I was from the city and moved to TN - met a country boy and we've been married for 33 years. Could not ask for a better man and yes he can fish, hunt, and garden vegetables, etc. If there was a food shortage we would not go without. There isn't anything my man can't do.

    Being 51 and living in Lousiana and TX, this song has a lot of nostalgia to offer as the US became more urbanized. My favorite is "We say grace, and we say ma'am, if ya aint into that, we *don't* give a damn." I think it would be good for us to move back toward that time before social media when you just told someone to let me take care of me, and you can mind your own damned business. Today, everyone looks for outside validation, and we can see it's steering us into places as a society where we look around and see these obviously ridiculous things being accepted.

      @@IdahoRanchGirl I have no idea. It's like all these groups and academic professors and universities build up these concepts layer by layer, and each layer isn't too much worse. But when you pan out, you see the big picture is that they've built a boar hog with tits. It's patently and obviously false, but the lemmings have swallowed each incremental step, invested in it, and defended it. This is how a society can end up doing great evil while the people doing the evil see it totally differently.

    I grew up in suburban Denver Colorado. But the family had property up in the mountains. We spent our summers up there. Everybody saved their vacation time so we could live a country life. He mentioned the Rocky Mountains. My grandpa taught me how to fish clean and gut. Hunt and build a hut. Us kids would go down to the aspen grove and build our clubhouse. We could live in those suckers if we had too. We were 200 feet from the beaver dams. Catch trout all day. This song brings me back to those days. But grandma got sick and everybody’s jobs were taking them other places. So we had to sell it. We had a large house almost done too. But the imagery brings a pride to know everything I learned in those mountains will be with me for life. And can survive if needed.

    The one line was a bit hard to track... When Hank says "my grandpa..." and follows it with "his [grandpa]", many think he was talking about his grandpa's grand-dad. He was talking about his FRIEND'S Grand-dad when he said "His taught him how to be a business man", hence the city life and getting killed for pocket-change. Hank's always got a story to tell. Looking forward to some more, Greg.
