i had to write a paper for a class. there were so many things i could have done it about but for some reason i did it on Hank Williams. here are the results of my hard thinking
Hank Williams Hank Williams was born on As previously stated Hank was born on In 1937 he changed his name informally from Hiram to Hank, a name he thought would be better for his desired career in the music field. When several of his band members got conscripted into the military during World War II, Hank had problems with their replacements and started drinking heavily causing WSFA to fire him. He signed a contract with MGM Records in 1947 and recorded his first of 33 number one hits, “Move It On Over”. In 1949 his son Randall Hank Williams, AKA Hank Williams Jr., AKA Bocephus was born. In 1950 he started recording as Luke the Drifter for his religious based recordings. He used this alias to avoid hurting the marketability of his name, but often played these songs on stage. In 1951 a fall during a hunting trip caused his old back pains to reactivate causing him to consume painkillers, morphine and more alcohol. In 1952 he met Horace Marshall who claimed to be a doctor although he had already been convicted of forgery. Among other fake titles he claimed to be a Doctor of Science. He purchased the DSC title for $35 from the Chicago School of Applied Science, in the diploma, he requested that the DSC was spelled out as "Doctor of Science and Psychology". Under the name Dr. C.W. Lemon he prescribed hank with amphetamines, seconal, chloral hydrate, and morphine. On Because of his alcoholism and drug use people would say Hank was just some nobody. I thiink those people are about ignorant because these people listen to music done by people who who use just as much if not more than Hank did. All I got to say is this, and this is direct quote from his son “ If you don’t like Hank Williams you can kiss my ass.”
