Thread Name: Hank Jr's Hitler remark - censorship?
Subject: RE: Hank Jr's Hitler remark - censorship?
There is an interesting hypothesis (can't prove it) that the talent gene doesn't run through father to son. John Barrymore Jr. Julian Lenon. Frank Sinatra Jr. Hank Williams Jr.

That's not to say that the aforementioned are devoid of any talent but does the gene
of real success come through the father or the mother? (Mendel figures here).

Hank Jr. is obviously an impaired alcoholic who is a tragic figure who can never aspire to his father's success. He traded on the "name" which is always a mistake because he sets himself up to comparison.

The song posted above is not particularly good because it reflects a self-pity.

Hank Jr. and Toby Keith try to wrap themselves in the flag, a fatal mistake for both of them.
