CMA Awards Open By Taking Shot at Hank Williams Jr. Controversy

On his GBTV program Wednesday night, Glenn Beck promised viewers that there would be something worth tuning in for during the 45th annual Country Music Association Awards on ABC. So when the show opened with a bit about the Hank Williams Jr. controversy, I know my jaw hit the floor.
After hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood took the stage, Paisley used his guitar to start playing a song to the tune of Williams’s iconic “Monday Night Football” theme that is no more. Underwood stopped him, saying that he couldn’t sing the song because of what happened with Williams (he was fired for making an analogy that involved Hitler and Obama). Paisley quickly, then, changed the song to a version of Williams’s classic “Family Tradition,” which includes the line “why do you drink?” Underwood added the line “before an interview.”
But as the audience chuckled during the obviously light-hearted bit, Williams himself made an appearance behind the hosts. That led Paisley to go back to the original-themed song, with Williams and Underwood joining in.
You can watch it all unfold below:
Rowdy, indeed. And adding to the intrigue: ESPN, which fired Williams and which the opening was obviously skewering, and ABC, which aired the awards, are both owned by the same parent company, Disney.
By the way, you can watch Williams’s sit-down with Glenn — and his live performance — below:

Posted on November 10, 2011 at 1:42pmI NEVER, EVER liked ESPN, I used to call them the TOM BRADY channel now I call them the TIM TEBOW channel, so much for comprehensive sports coverage, they sound like a broken record. They have only 4 or 5 teams that they cover over and over like The Eagles, Dallas and Green Bay.Talk about beating a dead horse, You may say that Green Bay was the Super Bowl Champs but when New Orleans won the S.B. they rarely spoke of them, shoot after that game they started covering Table Tennis and such, just to avoid football all together…lol. I have deleted ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU from my channel scan list.

Posted on November 10, 2011 at 8:00amLove Hank Jr. and that whole mess was just a way to distract and try to make American Conservatives look like racist red necks again. Hank didn’t say what they said he did and he was definitely railroaded. I will support Hank Williams Jr like I always have and now will download his new album and song Keep The Change as soon as possible. Love that he means what he says and what you see is what you get. I think Disney is trying to smooth things over with Hank because he is out there making a WHOLE lot of $$$ with his new song and they’re not getting a cut for it. Not to mention wanting to smooth things over with Hank’s fans. Ain’t gonna help though. We tend to be a loyal bunch and y’all screwed up. Just sayin.

I agree with what you say but let me point out, Racist and Red Neck don’t always go together. I for one am still proud to be called a Red Neck. By my definition a hard working Honorable all American Man who has never asked for anything from anyone I didn’t work for, a man who will still stand side by side with anyone who believes this country is worth the fight, no matter his or her color, religion or beliefs.
So Red Neck YES – Racist, NO not on your life.
If you want to see true racism, take a close look at the Occupy folks. Just saying
GOD Bless America and her hard working Red Necks

At this point in time, America looks just like the 1960′s and early 1970′s. Sit-ins, vandalism, violence, hatred of capitalism, attempts to topple the government and war. Yes, now is just like the 60′s. I know because I graduated from high school in 1966 and college in 1970. I saw this stuff up close and personal.
A lot of us older folks, remember very well and we are seeing the same thing. Many of us fought in a war that divided “them” from “us”. We are upset that it is happening again in our life time because we know what is going to happen.

Nice try , . You have no right or the intelligence to be speaking for myself or any Patriot.
Yep: things have drastically changed just as your messiah said he would make happen.
One problem with your assumption ; I haven’t changed and like all true country singers , they remain steadfast in Honor & Integrity and will not be swayed by anyone other than God as to what is Patriotic and righteous.
You just go right along believing the PC BS and I’ll still be thinking for myself.
While I’m sitting here cleaning these guns.
Assuming Patriotic Country music lovers are somehow going to fall for the Wimps & MSM’s distraction tactics may be the Socialist / Marxist’ first mistake. The second mistake will be ignoring the Patriot’s first , shot which will be heard around the world, when the nutcuttin starts and the America Haters are crawling away from the Patriot’s branding shoot with a “T” for Traitor permanently seared into their gutless back sides .

I remember Danny Kaye doing a song as a fashion designer who answered the question of why his designs looked the way they did. His answere, “I hate women”. Succinct and true, I believe. Too many homosexuals and misogynists telling women what they should look like until women start to believe it themselves. I’m sad to see Carrie falling for that nonsense.

But when Hank or anyone speak of Obama he gets ripped to shreds

Posted on November 10, 2011 at 11:59amHank didn’t even call Obama Hitler! It was an analogy of just how absurd it was for those men to pretend that they were happy campers ready to sit down and strike some huge deal.

Posted on November 10, 2011 at 7:28amIt seems Hank Williams ,Jr. Was the only country performer there. Carrie Underwood and her late Halloween costume, plus other almost dresses, made the entire program appear a sad comedy. How can these people call what they do COUNTRY? Where were the older generation singers and performers? Oh, that’s right…they are old now and do not count.
