People may think that the children of movie stars and musicians have it easy. Well sometimes they do and other times they don't. At the age of 33 Hank Williams III has had quite the colorful life. He's done nearly every drug you can find. He's been playing music since he was a kid and after years of being stuck in country western loop he's broken out with the double disc album Straight to Hell.
Hank III is a great artist, a better performer, and a damn nice guy to boot.......once AssJack took the stage, I about didn't make it out of the venue alive. A true outlaw in today's musical landscape!
ABOUT FUCKIN TIME SOMEONE STARTED REALIZIN HOW MUCH OF A BADASS HANK III IS. I have been listenin to his Hellbilly shit for about a year, have seen his live show (which kicks MAJOR ass) once and plan on seein him when he comes to Lawrence Ks. this time around. Gotta love a man that plays honky tonk country and hardcore punk in one set.
Hey, I know that guy! I used to party with him after shows on his tour bus behind the Continental Club in Austin. I was friends with his fiddle player, Michael McCanless (RIP).
I didn't see this interview when it first hit, but damn; I love Hank III and his music. I finally got to see him live, twice, this past summer and plan to catch him again this next summer as well. Hank III fuckin ROCKS

You're talking to a man who won a $30,000 truck for racing in a game online. .Out of a thousand drivers I made it to the final four and walked away with a brand new, 2001 Toyota Tundra.
You can win cars and shit just from gaming!??? My life's been a waste ..... where's my joystick!
