Taylor Swift set to digitially remaster entire Hank Williams collection.

[AFK]

Three questions:

1) what's a Taylor Swift?

The Avril Lavigne of "country" "music".

In fact, I'm not entirely convinced that Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift are different people.   

[Adios]

Three questions:

1) what's a Taylor Swift?

2) What's a Hank Williams?

3) Why is the remaster plan a bad thing?

1) A Taylor Swift is a fake country singer who can't sing.

2) Hank Williams was/is a Country Music God.

3) Some truths are held to be self evident.

Where's that old Roger rant about country music? It's relevant here...

Hank Jr. is a disgrace to the name. 

Why does this bother me as much as it does?  I'll never hear her sing any of it.  But it really pisses me the fuck right on off.

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.

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.

Amen.

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.

No, I didn't! IT'S NOT SO FUNNY ANYMORE. 

[Suu]

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.

[Salty]

Wow.

I mean, yes. Yes she is.

[Suu]

I'm going to go throw up.

[Doktor Howl]

It's days like this that make PD so much fun.   

[Suu]

I don't get videos on my phone! 


-Suu
Is getting an iPhone...JUST to stop herself from being trolled by PD.

[Salty]

I'm going to go throw up.

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...
