Today at Circus Maximus, for your music listening pleasure, we had Hank Williams (as well as others). Unfortunately, Hank was unavailable for the Super Bowl half time. So instead, the Super Bowl had entertainers I had little familiarity with. I had heard of were Snoop Dog and Eminem: Snoop Dog because of the Corona beer commercials, but also because we had a F3 compatriot in Charlotte named Snoop (he trained dogs). And that’s why I have heard of Eminem (another F3 compatriot in Charlotte.)
“Hank” Williams (September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician of Native American descent. Regarded as one of the most significant and influential American singers and songwriters of the 20th century, he recorded 55 singles (five released posthumously) that reached the top 10 of the Billboard Country & Western Best Sellers chart. He is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century, especially in country music. Many artists have covered his songs and he has influenced Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, George Jones, George Strait, Charley Pride, and The Rolling Stones, among others. Williams had 11 number one country hits in his career (“Lovesick Blues”, “Long Gone Lonesome Blues”, “Why Don’t You Love Me”, “Moanin’ the Blues”, “Cold, Cold Heart”, “Hey, Good Lookin'”, “Jambalaya (On the Bayou)”, “I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive”, “Kaw-Liga”, “Your Cheatin’ Heart”, and “Take These Chains from My Heart”).
In the meantime, enjoy your solid food diet. Atilla will be eating Jello and drinking Mountain Dew today. He has been given a doctor’s excuse from F3 participation tomorrow. Don’t be alarmed. It’s for that routine, hopefully every 10 year, examination that begins later in life.
