Didn't know that...but interesting.
Before the Monday Night Football thing, I had a very negative impression of him (not being a country fan, the sunglasses, whatever).
Then he started the MNF songs before the game, and I found myself looking forward to seeing him.
Later, I learned that he had some sort of disfiguring accident, and that is why he wears the sunglasses.
Now, seeing the picture without the shades, I think he doesn't look that bad and think he should drop the shades and some of the attitude and just be a guitar playing country dude. I'd have a little more respect for him.
I think this because of one of my co-workers who got Bell's Palsy six months ago. One side of his face has no feeling or movement. He missed one day of work for a doctor's appointment, tnen came in as normal ever since, handling the diversity like a champ. I have a lot of respect for the way he's handled his affliction. I wish Hank Jr. would have done the same.
Goin' to bed. G'night all.
"Later, I learned that he had some sort of disfiguring accident, and that is why he wears the sunglasses."
I think those shades became a habit to cover his stoned or bloodshot eyes. He was a real party hardy guy....
