Hank Williams Jr: Delusional Singer Digs Hole with New Song

Hank Williams Jr. further cemented his status as a member of the delusional Hall of Fame with his new song Keep the Change. Check out his impressive, rapid course to become a first ballot member of this exclusive club.

Start of Controversy

Michael Hiestand of the USA Today gives us the lowdown on the comments Williams made on the Fox News' program Fox and Friends regarding President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner playing golf together.

Williams called it "one of the biggest political mistakes ever.” He then likened it to, “Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu."

New Song

So, as an answer to the backlash Williams has faced (mainly, having his Monday Night Football intro dropped by ESPN) he released a new song called Keep the Change. The title is a direct shot at President Obama's campaign slogan.

Much of the song is typical and common political rhetoric. But there are a few lines that shed insight into Williams thoughts on his current state of affairs. Here are some of those lyrics:

"

So FOX and friends
Wanna put me down
Ask for my opinion
Then twist it all around
Supposed to be talkin' about my father's new CD
Well two can play that "Gotcha Game" just wait and see
Don't tread on me

Yeah, you can keep FOX and friends and ESPN outta your homes too
Cause Bocephus and all his rowdy friends and his song is outta there!

"

Delusions

I'm not sure what kind of fantasy world Hank Williams is living in. I am only sure he is living in one. His original comments needed no twisting. They were twisted enough on their own.

The first thing that popped into my mind, upon hearing Williams' initial comments, was that Hank Williams has a really positive view on the history of politics if a round of golf qualified as one of the biggest political mistakes ever.

Beyond that, Williams must be completely out of touch with society if he didn't think his allusion of that meeting to anything involving Hitler would not be met with a lot of scorn.

Does Williams not realize that he can't hide behind "free speech" as an excuse for being angry at ESPN for pulling his song?

ESPN and Monday Night Football have used his song to get people "ready for some football." He stained that by tainting it with his outlandish comments. Me and my rowdy friends are now distracted from our glorious football thoughts by thoughts of Hank Williams conjuring up images of Hitler.

The last line is perhaps the most delusional of all. Does Willams really think people are going to stop watching ESPN because they pulled his song? That's not happening.
