A country boy can survive the Obama administration. Just ask Hank Williams, Jr.

The country music artist -- best known to millions of Americans regardless of their musical taste for his "Are You Ready For Some Football?" theme to Monday Night Football -- was profiled yesterday by Bill Lynch of the Charleston [W.V.] Gazette.

Lynch spent a considerable portion of his profile focused on Williams's politics, including his upcoming gig at a Labor Day TEA Party:

I heard Hannity say yesterday that they have already registered 60,000 folks for this event. (Tickets are free but you have to register for them).

They closed ticket registration yesterday when they hit 70k. Up to 100k expected...this is gonna be a doozy. Of course, the local papers have interviewed the environmental activists, and they’ve decided to ‘respect their opposition’s freedom of speech, so there’ll be no counter-demonstrations’..hehehe...the truth is, they want to be nowhere near 100k coal miners and their families. :-)

Hank is a very informed individual and insightful. I was honored to have Hank invite me to spend some time with him prior to a show in Tupelo. He makes no bones about it, he doesn't like the politics of Obama and his minions. I wish there were more like him.

He says he loves that the politicians have to run and hide. It's high entertainment. "I get a lot of enjoyment when I have my evening cigar and listen to these idiots."

LOL - I've always liked Bocephus. He was a great vocalist in his prime.
