Talk:Hank Williams Jr.

message: Why did this page not mention what is probably the defining moment of his life - the mountain climbing accident that crushed his skull and face? Makes the Coe feud look like trivia...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.143.166.160 (talk) 23:25, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's mentioned... Very clearly his evolving style caused him to fall off a mountain cliff: Here's what the article currently states, "Williams began his career imitating his famed father and his style gradually evolved until he was involved in a near fatal fall off the side of a mountain." Yes. You read that correctly, "his style gradually evolved until he was involved in a near fatal fall." It's a cause-and-effect relationship. His style caused him to fall. I so enjoy reading wikipedia! Makes me glad Brenda ran me off!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.37.244.76 (talk) 23:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mountain Climbing Accident - no mention?? 

message: It says "and that his identical to those of Hank Williams" can someone tell me what that means in english?
: It says after "some success" in the 1980s.  This is a gross understatement.  Hank Williams Jr. sold millions of albums and won scores of industry awards in the 1980s.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.217.121 (talk) 15:42, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The reference links are all the same - when the RIAA webpage has to post data to query its database (which is not included in the link) a hyperlink is not useful. This should be fixed. I would fix it, but I'm not sure what should be done. Link all to the RIAA search page?

replies: text: Hmmm, I'm not exactly sure what can be done about it either. I went to the searchable database on the RIAA website a little while ago and all the listings various RIAA certifications are accurate. Aside from possible fan websites, which can often be unreliable due to personal bias, I don't know where else his listings of RIAA certifications can be found.Odin's Beard 23:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The timeline section midway down reverted to a first person rant, involving accusations of racism and "not being a true christian"  Not exactly what belongs in an encyclopedia.  I just deleted the entire offending section.  Personal views don't have any place in the encyclopedia.  If the material is reinserted please edit it to be more objective and please reference your sources.  We also don't want any libel (slander?) issues.  ParrotBSD (talk) 18:14, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The whole 2011 Fox and Friends interview section is too long. Now its current and all over the news but in a few months its not going to matter and can/should be condensed into a few sentences. Thoughts?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.213.135 (talk) 00:21, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's probably smart. Or, there should be a section on the use of "All My Friends..." as the MNF theme starting in 1991, ending with last week's pulling of the song? --Mosmof (talk) 02:55, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

message: How is it that when I looked him up on line, it has the following:
Hank Williams Jr.
American country singer-songwriter and musician
The son of country music's greatest name, and a superstar in his own right by painting himself as a rowdy redneck country-rocker in the '70s... en.wikipedia.org
Born: May 26, 1949 (age 71), Shreveport
Spouse: Mary Jane Thomas (m. 1990-present), Becky White (m. 1977-1983), Gwen Yeargain
Children: Hank Williams III, Holly Williams, Hilary Williams
Parents: Hank Williams
Net worth: $45 million (celebritynetworth.com)
Active from: 1957
Genre: Country, Country-Rock, Outlaw Country, Pop/Rock, Southern Rock, Traditional Country, Urban Cowboy
Yet, when I go to the actual wiki page for him, none of that is there? Also, word is going around that he had a 27 year old daughter named Katherine Williams-Dunning who was killed yesterday in an automobile accident. Therefore, the wikipedia article needs to be updated and whatever else needs done involving a person involved in a recent event such as this.

thread_title:  Personal life 

message: I don't really follow pop culture, and I don't follow country singers at all (the only reason I'm here is looking up Hank Jr. is as a result of being on an 'old songs' kick). Therefore, this sentence doesn't tell me anything more than 'he married someone named Brandi': "On September 9, 2023, Williams married Brandi"
	
	
I have a cousin named Brandi, but I really doubt that's who he married. Brandi who? Is this some sort of celebrity who is only known by one name but, somehow, doesn't show up on Google that way and isn't worthy of being linked to a Wikipedia page?
	
	
Maybe, just maybe, there should be at least a little more context here. Dstar3k (talk) 18:41, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
