Are You Ready For Some Uninformed Opinions?!

Fox News is a constant source of unintentional comedy and this was no different.  Asking Hank Williams, Jr. to give his opinion on the 2012 GOP candidates is pure comedy gold.  Just to comment on some highlights of the video, Hank shows up in a camouflage University of Alabama hat and some sort of country/cowboy shirt.  My assumption is that he did not graduate from Alabama, but that's just a wild guess.  I also don't know that he was necessarily comparing Obama to Hitler, that's a bit of a stretch for a man that probably just washed down some combination of heart medication, pain killers, and Viagra, with his High Life at 8am.  Maybe he was just trying to come up with two people 180 degrees apart.  Who knows?  However, an underrated part of this clip is the poor stooge on the far right who clearly wants nothing to do with this interview and in no way, shape, or form wants to be associated with Hank Williams, Jr. and his uttering of the name Hitler.  Bro is probably just hoping his agent can land him a morning shown in Sioux City after this.

As a result, ESPN pulled Hank's, "Are You Ready for Some Football" video from the start of the game.

 

I would guess that this move upset southerners and 8 year olds, because I LOVED this jam when I was like 8 and could only watch like the first 15 minutes of Monday Night Football.  God that was frustrating.  I must have been in high school before my parents gave up and let me watch as much of the game as I wanted.  Now, I'm back to being like an 8 year old and whining when playoff games start at 9pm or the Pats play on Monday night because I know I now have a choice: watch the game and feel like crap the next day, or go to bed at halftime and keep my fingers crossed.  Again, I would recommend to not aging past 26, then you'll be fine.

Stuck In My Head

This was #1 on the charts in 1980.  How the f*ck does that even happen?  I mean, I know a ton of drugs were going on in the 70s and 80s, but once it hit the 80s wasn't it mostly coke?  This doesn't seem like a song people would be pumped to hear after snorting a mountain of coke.

How about this video though, huh?  This dude looks like he should have been in Step Brothers, especially because his voice is a cross between Fergie and Jesus.  Also, can we talk about the fact that he's wearing an Earl Campbell jersey?  Is this the least likely candidate for wearing a jersey?  Bro was rocking throwbacks before they were even throwbacks.

White man fro and a throwback.  Christopher Cross just living the dream.  Unfortunately, his song haunts mine.
