No, in her mighty ego she will completely dump Hank and fuck it all up in her own special way all by herself.

Best part is, because she owns the rights, she can cover these songs at will.

My daughter is at that point where she's really too old for the Kids Place station on Sirius.  And one day I accidentally landed on Radio Disney while flipping around and she heard a Hannah Montana song she liked, and well, the rest is history.  I keep trying to convert her to Smooth Jazz, but no dice.

It might be a good idea knock on wood when you say that. Nine times. HARD.

And I'm horribly disappointed in Bocephus. All those years of yelling "TA GET DRUNK!" when he sings "Why do you drink?" and "TA GET STONED!" when he sings "Why do you roll smoke?" wasted...I wish I could take them back. Though to be fair he fell off a mountain and got all his brains mashed in the back of his skull somewhere...I'D STLL TAKE IT BACK. Asshole.  :evilmad:

2) What's a Hank Williams?

A Hank Williams, Sr, was the guy who tried to warn us about the dangers of the Lost Highway.  He knew about them because he was the first person to explore that horrible road...He lived just long enough to start describing it, and then it killed him at the age of 29, in the back of a Caddilac.  The coroner said booze & pills, but Charley and I knew he lied.

It's no coincidence, of course, that his career coincided with that of Curly.  It is also no coincidence that they weren't actually all that good at what they did.  Hank William's songs, sung by anyone else, suck ass.  Curly wasn't terribly funny, because funny wasn't what he was about.  They were mediocre performers, technically, but they both preached, in a non-annoying way, that life was there to be lived, that adversity can make you stronger rather than just grinding you into the dust, that there was a better way.

They weren't political, of course.  They understood, in a way that most people never will, that 99% of our problems are in our own head, and that the best way to solve those problems was to make our heads better places.

Needless to say, this couldn't be allowed, and they were both murdered by Roy Cohn, on the orders of Potter Stewart, who had an abiding hatred of anyone having a good time, anywhere.  Other victims of the purge include WC Fields, Lord Buckley, and Big Bill Broonzy.

2) What's a Hank Williams?

And they didn't just kill them all at once, they killed them slowly, wasted them away.

On December 19, 1952, Little Doug Sahm played on stage with Hank Williams at the Skyline Club in Austin, Texas. He sat on Ol' Hank's lap. It was Hank Williams's very last performance. Hank died 11 days later.

What Doug remembered was how skinny and hard Hank's leg was. Looking at pictures, sitting on Hank's lap at that point must have been like sitting on a sawhorse.

It took Curly awhile to go, too.

Wait...is she fucking singing all the songs herself? Or are they just remastering it?

A digital remaster, in theory, is not terrible. It worked for the Beatles, but it did not work for Star Wars...

However, if her fucking voice squeaks out ANY of his work I swear to whatever goddamn god listens that she will be destroyed.

I think her first single is going to be Lovesick Blues. Originally she said she was just going to auto-tine Ol' Hank but then decided to scrap him completely. Now bear in mind, she doesn't want to take out any of the instrumentals, just the vocals. She IS however going to add an electric guitar to, and I quote, "Jazz it up a bit."

AW DAMN... :lulz: :lulz: :lulz:

Somebody needs to tell Ms. Swift that The Residents already did it.
