Hank Williams, Jr. - "A Country Boy Can Survive" was released in 1981
Yah this is 42 years old
I WAS going to say it might be older than Black Pegasus
The video still looks so fresh...it's probably hard to tell with a first viewing
Song was released in 1981 the video was released in the 2000s
The year I was born and I love this song
We're all country boys..no colors...just freedom and self resilience. You're awesome dude. Appreciate you
Amen
in the Marines, we are green and dark green only...........
💯💕
Exactly brother
Yes, man! We are all country boys.
Dude. Family Tradition and Whiskey Bent and Hellbound are just as epic as Country Boy Can Survive. Hank Jr. is known as one of the outlaws of country music, him and Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Paycheck, and Johnny Cash, to name a few. Some of the best country music came out of those guys in the 70s and 80s.
Waylon is my ❤
How can you forget Merle? Unlike some of the other outlaws he actually has an extensive rap sheet, even did time in San Quentin, he was there when Johnny Cash played there and it changed his life forever. I think just based on what BP said in this video he'd really like "The Fightin' Side of Me" which is about standing up for America.
@@emerje0 yeah. My bad. I love the Pancho and Lefty album he did with Willie!
@@Lynds77"I think I'm gonna kill myself" by waylon is the first emo song
Don't forget red white and pinkslip blues by his alter ego bo cefus lol...and you gotta give his daddy props as well hank Sr. Song hey good looking and I'm so lonesome I could cry...he's was one of the God fathers of country! Along with Charlie pride, and others. Waltons family is massive...you got Brianna harness which is his grand daughter and struggle jennings and Wray jennings are phenomenal as well
I am a West Virginia Appalachian country girl and this is 100% true, country people can take care of ourselves and our families.
Much love from southeastern ky. I love our people in the appalachia❤ Hope you're still surviving neighbor!!!
Southern West Virginia here too and it's all the truth we will make it happen one way or another ✌️🍻
Charleston here and West Virginia is a special place. We really do care about each other here and we can definitely survive.
@@aprilbowling6707Charleston here as well
@@JustApril55 With the same name too lol I live in Kanawha city
This came out in the 80’s and he sang are you ready for some football!? WTF!? That’s crazy!! 🤯 I didn’t know that was him 🔥
I was just giggling. I was like how did you never watch MNF lol
Citizen soldier reason to live is an amazing music and think I think that you and your subscribers will enjoy it
If you think this sounds prophetic then you should listen to his song "Mr. Lincoln". It's not about politics it's about how unbelievably ridiculous America can be.
Oh, and I don't know if you bother with Kid Rock, but when he mentions "Hank" in his songs this is who he's talking about.
I was in the Army deployed with Pershing II nuclear missiles in West Germany (1981-1984) and when we would go into the barracks every night this song would be rockin' in at least one room.
Hank Sr was 29 when he passed away Jan 1, 1953. He had a mild form of spina bifida and he self medicated with alcohol and drugs. Hank Jr. was 3 years old. Name on his guitar, Bocephus is the nickname his father gave him. Back story on the beard and glasses, he was hiking up a mountain and fell 500 ft hitting his face. Took surgeons multiple surgeries and 2 years of rehab, they thought he'd never sing again. He wears glasses and beard to hide the scars. Check out Family Tradition it tells the story.
I remember there being a movie about him, maybe a television movie, not sure, I saw it decades ago. Don't know if it's 100% true or not, but it tells about all that as well.
@@marcatkinson4149 You're correct. I saw that movie of his life story long ago. It's called "Living Proof".
@@marcatkinson4149is it not the song “All in Alabama” that’s talks about his fall from Ajax mountain
@@marcatkinson4149 100% True.. 525 feet fall.. and hit a boulder face first .. and as we all know.. He survived
Great reaction and I enjoy your commentary. Sub’d
This song is like 40 years old. Just goes to show nothing ever changes.
It's the more things change the more they stay the same .
Yeah I remember listening to it 30 years ago and it's wasn't new then.
There are no new problems just new people causing the same problems.
Quit talking and let the music play. Everybody knows the song except for you.
Only think changing is our GOV is ruining our lives, they think they are in charge of us, and they are taxing us to death.
I know this came out a long time ago but right now it's screaming about what we need to live. Prayers for East Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida and all of the places that can survive and WILL. RIP to all the people that were just perished for these Hurricanes
I grew up as a Montana farm girl. I’m 56. This song meant a lot in 1981 and the message holds true today. Country folk DO survive!!
I remember seeing the tour boss just outside Columbia Falls . It would have been about the same time as the fall.
Now try” all my rowdy friends”
@@blakekeithley3400 I know this one well, too. Gotta love Bocephus!!
yep, '59 MI. same here.
53, born and raised out in the woods of MD. Family from WV for ages on.
I rock the RWID, Redneck Woman In Disguise ( a friend coined that in about 87.)
I can work my on grid self employed job just fine.
If we get to a bad place I'll survive. My Grammie and Daddy taught me everything I'd ever need to know to do that.
I was at a friend's house a month ago for party for the kids. They set up a s'mores making area with all the this and that's and this HUGE expensive grated firepit the size of my bathtub, it had gas lines. (Thats all cool, really)
The gas wasn't working and out of 25 adults only myself and one other were capable of building a fire, let alone a sustainable member one for s'mores. Just damn! We all had lighters, so not even a challenge?
How can you be in your 20s or older and just not know how to build a fire????
Anyway. Glad I watched this and your reaction.
All good and peace. ❤😊❤
This song is 42+ years old and sounds better than most of the music out today. Thank you for giving Hank play time.
Hank is on tour right now
Why do people always say things like it’s better than today? Why can’t people appreciate good music in 1981 and now. There are tons of songs as good or better.
Cause what is being sold as “country music” in 2023 sucks!
@@jameshaynes6992the crap they call country today is pure trash
I think this song is talking about the Jimmy Carter era. Things got pretty bad back then to. Gas lines, inflation ect. I was laid off from the foundry and ended up joining the navy for a paycheck.
Agreed 💯
It was true more than 40 years ago, and true today.
I am 54 now.....12 year old country boy when it hit the radio. And my friends and I called this "the anthem". We lived it, and it shaped our lives. Damn proud of it, too
I have never had a hunting or fishing lic in my life, have never hunted in hunting season, and have never been caught, and mexico has great seeds and over five thousand different types of corn, a vet, and a bad ass shot with rifle, pistol and shot gun, and smooth with cold steel iam the person people like miss Clinton knows not to say boo to! God bless ya all.
Don't you mean 44 not 54 years old?...I can do math
And it only could've hit the radio no sooner than 38 years ago.
I know the exact day this song came out I’m 59 everybody was rocking to Hank Williams Junior, but I’ll let you guys do your own research I seen him live I don’t know how many times a man can play every instrument out there. His daddy was a legend, and so is Junior, Mr. Bocephus if you want to hear a really good song, look up that one they call me Bocephus!!! God bless America.
Ne too bro!
Hank is the man! Country folks will always survive. We can hunt, grow our own gardens, barter with our neighbors, etc. A lot of people think country means racist and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. We all bleed red, it’s about how you treat people, not color or religion.
The song is timeless, because all of history repeats itself. It will forever be an anthem to those who won’t give in and take it.
We’ve seen this shit before and we still ain’t buying it.
This isn't history repeating itself. Something started a long long time ago ... its just been slowly intensifying and raging on as silently as possible so as not to attract too much attention. You span certain ideals people aren't too keen to the idea of over generations, many will just take it as the norm. Or what they now call 'the new norm'. The New World is here .. but its been here for a while. Stop letting them divide us.
@@C0ldIron
There is no 'we' for you.
There is just you.
Mark Twain once said "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes"
Very profound statement...
Well said
This song came out in 1981 and very quickly became an anthem for the entire country culture
Check out David Allen Cohe(hope I spelled cohe right)
David Allan Coe@@Teresa-z2c
I’m 62 and I needed to hear your reaction right now. Your generation may have a chance if there are more like you.
Totally agree with you! I'm heartened to see reactions like this. The interesting thing is that the vast majority of these positive reactions for vintage music are coming from young bIack people. Well.....young by my standards as I'm 73!! I love watching them discover musical history and I love their open minds and their honest opinions. I've lost count how many of these channels I am subbed to, and I love them all.
@@snowysnowyriver I think it comes from them calling us all racists non. stop. for the past decade. It's kind of nice to tune all that out and just prove them wrong in private. I don't feel the need to defend myself from people who's opinions are almost assuredly just terrible.
I agree 💯
54 here. Totally agree.
This was back before music artists walked hand and hand with politicians! Music artists used to push back AGAINST politics so idk what happened but we sure could use that sentiment again
Yes lets survive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fire is everywhere.
Its America!... doesn't matter what Skin colour!..🤺🤺🇺🇸🇺🇸💕.
I'm 72 years old and grew up on a farm in the country.. I love Country Music and I played in a Country Music Band since I was 15 years old.. One thing our Country Dads taught is How to Survive !! We raised and hunted and fished, grew everything we needed to eat. Relied on no one. But we shared with any one who needed it. Everyone was welcome at our house.
Born and raised in the country and still do at the age of 60 .. live 25 miles from any towns in 3 directions! I'm a Gma I can pew pew, fish grow, preserve and cook, split wood etc !! Country women Will survive....
Jr. Is The Man😊
A lot of the young people just don't understand
@@flowerchild6641Amen sister
Right there with you
How do you know a song is truly timeless. When it still speaks to people and is still applicable more than 40 years after it was released!
The song is older than 11 years ago, but I so enjoy you younger folks putting this out to new listeners! Kudos for that sir! He is one of kind, look at his nick name on his guitar! Upchurch us the man of country rap!
No. It was uploaded to youtube 11yrs ago. The song is over 40yrs old! This is truly the American anthem.
YES!!
Yup.....I have the original vinyl album. ❤
@@snowysnowyriver I think I need a cassette tape on a portable recorder from the radio. I was a kid, that was an I had🥴 I wore that out and bought a CD when they came out (I think I replaced it when I worked security at one of his concerts decade or so after that- guess I me the song😼
It was uploaded more than 11 YEARS it depends which one of the uploads you pull-up.
@@RedRabbit4230 I still support the no research before hand approach . I have seen people go way off target on their reactions because of "research"
I hear you. It’s not about race it’s about culture. I will protect your family like it’s my own. That’s what country is. God, family, country.
That man can also play any instrument in the world, and play it like a master. Not to mention in his youth, he fell 500ft off the side of a mountain and survived. 💯 badass
And he shoots lightning out his eyes and firebolts out his arse!
Truth ❤
@@Spicoli1Bilek truth...Ajax mntn Montana. Two yr recovery with multiple surgeries. Including several skull and facial.
I remember that. 🖖🏻🇨🇦
@@Spicoli1Bilek The scars from that fall (and subsequent injuries) are the reason why he's always wearing sunglasses and grew out the big beard.
I haven't heard this song in years and I get goosebumps every time I hear it. Reminds me of growing up in the country in the 80s and 90s as a young city boy that moved to the country. It was a culture shock but I loved it. Instead of skateboarding and going shopping I went fishing and deer hunting with my friends. Riding four-wheelers. We even ended up building a barn and buying a couple of quarter horses. Best years of my life.
Hank Jr. is literally a LEGEND of Country music and my father was a big fan of his Dad. Hank Jr. was also the face of Monday Night Football for so many years with his “are you ready for some football” opening music track and then was pushed out because he says things that are against the establishment/NWO.
All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight
@@GenX-Grampa If only he had changed the lyrics to all my commie friends are coming over tonight ESPN would still have him
Hank is known for writing timeless truths. He is a living Legend. ✨️
This song and Copperhead Road. Two favorites of this country girl.
Yesss....
love love LOVE Steve Earle!!
Don't promote Copperhead Road. That's shit country. Lol
I've never heard Copperhead Road, so I checked it out from your comment. Terrific song!
If u never heard better listen then u know whats good. 😊
Ive heard this song a million times growing up in south Alabama but watching your reaction to this song gave me chills like the first time I ever heard it. Thank you for bringing us together to see this. Much respect to you.
Dude, just came across this. That's an anthem us county people hold to.
My "black" wife and my "white" self have been building our homestead in the country. We can and will survive anything that wall street or a lame gov can do.
Thanks for your commentary bro. Shalom.
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 AMEN!!!
I would say 9o % of the usa can stand on there own two feet and that is what scares the hell out of the government
BLESS YOU
Keep going brother!
This country needs more people like y'all! ❤️
I'm 38. Born and raised in Bama. We grow up on Hank. Glad you found him. And this is my first time seeing you and I'm following.
I grew up in west virginia and I love the line he says about us
Sorry for ya being from Bama
@@brendangibbons6094oh, honey don’t be sorry…it’s a great honor to be from sweet home!
"The American flag represents us all." AMEN!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Got dam right it does...
Read a history book. It should but doesn't.
Very ignorant and sound like YOU need to learn history. Sad you ate so brainwashed
PREACH!!!🇺🇸
Every one of us. Blindly.
It seriously BLOWS MY MIND there are ppl out there who have never heard some of these songs!! So glad u opened up a whole new world for yourself!!
After listening to your reaction/take to this song that was actually released 43 YEARS AGO, I have the utmost respect for you! keep doin what you are doin!
Bro, Hank been sangin way before 11 years. Love how open minded you are. Peace.
41 years ago! And just as relevant today....
Damn Right
LOVE LOVE LOVE your reactions ! The world would be a better place with more good people like you !!!
Hank Williams Jr. once fell off a mountain here in Montana. He fell 500ft down the mountain and broken a lot of his body....in his early 20's. He still recovered and became a music legend just like his father. Country boys very much can survive.
Bingo Pal 😊
Great read he is an overcomer just like country folks are.
His head split open. His friend and his friend’s son was with him. His friend left to get help while his son stayed and held his skull together with his hands. He could see brain.
The scars are so bad that Hank wears the hat, sunglasses and full beard at all times.
Sounds like something a city boy would do… at least he’s not a shitty land owner like all the new out of staters moving here to the Bitteroot
@@oldirtyshinobi420 riiiiiiiight. Whatever you say, doobie mcpotbreath.
Thank you for your contribution to society. You are making sure that couch in your mom’s home doesn’t float away.
Before I watch the reaction....any country boys from the south like me will tell you.....this is our anthem and it always will be. Literally this song is universally loved by all country people . I even have black freinds that go crazy for this song when it gets played. We all still love rap music and everything else too but I'm js
Bingo Pal 😊
Swamp to ahitty city you got it
@Aftershock1268 actually I do live in the swamps of Florida lol my Florida is not beaches and Disney World. It's dirt roads and Gators
@@sigsour2266Hah! So, the good part of Florida!🎉
Raised on the Hatchie River in West Tennessee my Southern Brother. Moonshine Central. Grew up in the woods. 62 years old now and I wouldn't want to live in the woods now but I can. I fly the Southern Cross. It is maybe the most beautiful Flag ever created. Proud of my Ancestors South and the North that fought in The War Of Northern Aggression. I had three Ancestors fight at Shiloh and many other Engagements. Two for the South and one from the North. I have my Federal Ancestors release from the Federal Army after the war. If they would display it at Shiloh National Battlefield I would donate it because it is great condition. It is kept in a dark closet. My Federal Ancestor moved South to Marry my Great, Great Grandmother from Arkansas after the war.
This song was released 42 years ago. August 1981.....And the lyrics still hold true today....
❤❤❤❤
I love, love, love, to see all your young brothers & Sistas & ALL you young folks getting into our older, amazing music like metallica, Rush, especially the living legend Hank Williams Junior He still tours with Kid Zrock lol. He’s a Gabgster from way back! A true rebel against the system which all these old dings are about! there’s so many amazing bands! And artist it’s real art, real talent, no autotune, no computers, actual talent, skill, and artistry in the older music not that long ago! I really feel bad for your generation because everything is digital and bullshit now! Zero passion, zero skills , zero talent, Zero gifts, Zero Art!
AI “computers” will be making all your music from here on out! It stole the soul from humanity! Neglecting every instinct you have as a human being!!
That’s why these amazing songs really Move you INSIDE because it’s from the soul of another human that you can relate to!!
"you don't want the government to give you shit because then you owe the government" ----truer words have never been spoke
Amen!!!🙏🙏🙏
amen brother
Hank Williams, Sr. is a country music legend. And Junior had to carve his own niche in the tradition. Great song!
Don't forget about Hank the 3rd
hank sr was he part of the highway men with willy and johny cash
Hank Williams senior is awesome.
@what8586 nope Hank sr. Predates all of them. He died at 27 in 1953 new years day.
And now Hank the third is keeping it going. The record he did "with" his dad and grandad was amazing. And he's dipped his toes into metal, which is just amazing. Hellbilly Joker is one of my favorite records of all time.
Hank Williams JR is close friends with Kid Rock. Williams jokingly calls Rock his “rebel son.” When Rock first met his hero Williams, he introduced himself by saying, “I know more of your songs than you do.” They’ve even done a few awesome music collaborations together.
As for his father Hank Williams SR., he became one of the biggest stars in country music - paving the way for those who followed, and a hero to many big names in the country music industry. Hank Williams SR. was known for his relationships with African-American blues singers - most importantly street musician Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne, who was significant in his musical development. Williams was a young white musician in the Jim Crow south. As a teenager, Williams used play his guitar on the street or on the front porch with Tee Tot. The older singer taught him to play blues guitar and got Williams interested in blues rhythms and phrasing, which would become central to his specific style of country music. He is regarded as one of the most significant and influential American singers and songwriters of the 20th century, and is known as "the Father of Country and Western Music"
They're both in Gretchen Wilson's Redneck Woman along with a bunch of other cameos it's awesome.
he's also friends with Aaron lewis from stained he also has a song called country boy
Very cool
And Kid Rock is great friends with Yelawolf. Full circle.
Love Sr Honkey Tonk and his alter ego luke
I can’t believe there are people who have never heard of Hank Williams Jr or Sr. They’re both legends
The song captures the essence of the rural lifestyle and the indomitable spirit of a true country boy. It speaks to the challenges faced by those living in rural areas and their ability to persevere through adversity. Hank Williams Jr. narrates the story of a man who is self-reliant, resourceful, and unaffected by the luxuries of the modern world. It is an ode to the resilience, toughness, and pride of rural America.The lyrics also touch upon the importance of family and community. The close-knit relationships and mutual support in rural areas play a significant role in a country boy’s ability to overcome challenges. The song celebrates the values of hard work, determination, and loyalty that are ingrained in the fabric of rural America.
Amen!!!
And we thank Jesus for everything we do get... we dont take it for granted.😅 Blessings ❤❤❤
I live in the Midwest and it’s the same here. We can survive.
North Carolines…..but anyone could be country. Being from here doesn’t make you country, just southern.
Kudos to you and your parents!! The lot of you seem to have produced a fine man! I'm an old, deep south, white woman... This is a young, black man... We have way more in common than our overlords would have us believe. A common love for God, family and country, will form ties that CAN'T and WON'T be broken!! Much love brother!!
Much love Sister. ❤
racist when you have to make it about color you racist there is only one race Human.
I'm a 59 year old born and raised in Texas. Still live here in a small town in the country and I agree with you 100%.
I'm so glad your maturing and is waking up. Country music tells it all. We tell the truth. I don't listen to anything else.
👏🏻❤️this
Hank Williams, Sr. was one of the greatest of his era. Waylon Jennings has a song titled "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way", singing about the changes in Nashville between Hank's time and his. Outlaw country has always been my favorite: Willie, Waylon, Bocephus, Coe, Paycheck, Prine...So much for you to check out waiting to be discovered. And this song was released in 1981.
Your facial expression when the song talked about his losing friend his life was so real, like you understood his pain. Hank Jr would be touched by your reaction. 2020 woke many people up about why country people do what they do. God bless you and yours.
BTW, if you want to learn how to survive another 2020, come on down to Hamilton, Alabama and our good ole boys both black and white, will show you the ropes. Warning though, you will get dirty! LOL
Paycheck that's on spot. Take this job and shove it
I have loved this song for 40 years. I loved your thoughts on the song. Thanks for what you do. I love going back and hearing the songs I used listening to all the time.
His father served up magic in musical form. You should listen to "I'm so lonesome I could cry". One of his daddy's best.
That's my favorite Hank Sr. song. I also like his song Tear in My Beer.
@@chrisfrey9488they managed to dub Jr in with Sr on that one.
Love Hank Jr. My cousin lived right down the road from him for many years. He came by one time when I was maybe 6 or 7 yrs old and I was so shy but I loved him so I ran out, shook his hand, and ran back inside! Loved your review of this song! I grew up on this music and lifestyle!
Being from Texas, I was raised on this song! My grandparents were from Mexico but raised us on a farm with the same survival skills and principles as county folks. That's why I find this song so relatable, and I love it! ❤
It's also disappointing to see that this song came out in the early 80s, and NOTHING has changed!! This song still applies to the world we are living in today. 😢
“Raised us with the same survival skills and principles as country folk”. ….no man, they raised you with those things because they were country folk too. Country folk come in all shade#k because being from the country ain’t got a damn thing to do with race. It has to do with independence, individualism, not being afraid of hard work, and not relying on anyone for anything. I’m from Texas too, and I’ve hung with, ridden with, worked with, shed blood with, and stood arm in arm with country folks that were Mexican and black and everything in between, drunk as hell singing along to this song in somebody’s pasture, or their daddy’s deer lease, or on some power line clearing or dead end road many nights, and we all knew we were the same.
@@invictusbp1prop143 Thanks for saying this!
It’s about to get worse though.
@@invictusbp1prop143God bless country folks
Yes. Exactly my dad's music that was a Trucker, but said he hated Mexicans
I heard this song back in 1990. A friend that was from West virginia introduced me to Hanks music. I ain't gonna lie. I have seen a couple of reactions of yours, but seeing what you stand for and what you got from this song tells me, we are on the same page and you are a proud American. I subscribed right away. Ready to watch more of your reactions. Keep pumping them out, bro.
Grew up in Alabama loving both Hanks. Had black & white friends with rebel flags bcuz it was about being proud of the South. The saying is "The South Will Rise Again!" Just means we will be great again. ☺️ American flag is always first.
Not 3 Hanks?
@@randalgordon1390 you just made me look him up 😊 we'll see
Just a 57-year old business owner from Ohio that appreciates your reaction to this song - this song always gets me...
Love that song. Listen to Hank Williams III some songs are nasty
Growing up in the south, this is one of those "everyone knows it by heart" songs and it very much expresses how we feel and how we are raised from a early age . Thank you for covering (AKA) brother Bocephus . This was released in early 80s
I agree growing up in the south myself this was a regular on any station 81'
This and all my rowdy friends have settled down lol, I fucking love it!
Ain't just about folks from the south....I'm from Pennsylvania and we definitely got that hillbilly pride here too
I'm a country music musician. You should listen to Hank Jr's Dad. I grew up with his music. It will leave you in Awe!!
Listen to Hank Sr. "Lovesick Blues". I do that one in my band. Beautiful Clasic.
Hank Jr is the real deal. He sings about his life. I've spoken with him on the phone several times. He loves living in the woods, hunting, playing music and drinking whiskey!😉
Hank is the real deal! Man fell from a cliff and still living, hunting, fishing and singing! Saw his son perform last year and he was very good and looked and sounded more like Hank Sr. I was born in 79 and Bocephus was my first favorite artist and still a favorite. He was a rebel in Country Music and often didn’t get the recognition from others in the genre. Or at least that’s how I see it.
Amen!
He fell off Ajax Mountain over 500 feet it took the rescue team over 4 1/2 hours to reach him his eye balls were handing out of the sockets he had 17 surgery's. That is way he has the beard and wears shades all the time
1:46
Not even Ajax mountain could stop him 💪🏻
I remember buying this album when I was 12 years old in 1982. Hank Jr and his dad are legends.
hank 3 is amazing to
Yes gen x 🎸🤟🕊️
going to be 50 years old next year
Being old school and 68 years old, I know all these tunes. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Keep up what y'all doin' Boyz.
Bocephus!! It's amazing to me that some people are just hearing this for the first time and I'm so glad to see young people open to the old school sounds!! Hank Jr is one of the legendary country stars and old Hank Sr was in his time.
Ditto
You can go to any bonfire party in Kentucky and you'll hear this and everyone singing along. I listened to hip-hop and metal back in highschool 20 years ago and still knew every word to this song
Heck, hear this at the local dinner eating biscuits and gravy with the family.
Kentucky here !! Everyone's invited
As a fellow Kentuckian, I can vouch for this, lol
Yep
Holy shit thats me as well.
This song is true American spirit. We don't need validation.
Yo, you're right, Black Pegasus Hank Jr. does sound like a prophet. He's epic! One of my few favorite Country boys! Thank you! He's got alot of great tracks
Country girl here 53 years old...grew up in a little tin traiiler with no running water....we hunted we fished....we grew our own food. Washed our clothes in a wringer washer.....this was ny. Loved every bit.of it.
I'm 65. My mama and daddy were raised during the Great Depression. Daddy grew up in Baltimore and Mama in rural North Carolina. Both families were poor and struggled, but their experiences were extremely different. Mama never went hungry because they grew crops, hunted, and fished. They weren't cold because they had wood for the stoves to keep the house warm. And they weren't subject to crime. The biggest struggle Granddaddy had was earning enough money to keep the family farm. Daddy's experience was very different living in Baltimore City. The same is true today (2024). I live in rural Virginia and my brother lives in the suburbs of Baltimore. He and SiL complain about food prices all the time. I have my kitchen garden, which produces enough fruit and vegetables so that my family doesn't have to buy much. My adults kids come for Sunday supper almost every week. In the winter they do their "shopping" in "Mama's pantry" for canned vegetables and in the summer they take the newly picked stuff. As long as I can weed a garden and boil water for canning, my family will never go hungry.
The only people that screaming racist are keeping it alive, if people keep it alive,they're racist. No doubt this division, resist the agenda/ Roderick. Save our God and country, BLESS you all!
He is a true Patriot, I remember when this song came out, God bless the country boy
Thank you for your enthusiasm and keep doing what you’re doing! I love this and btw this song came out originally in 1981. I was in high school. Thank you for opening minds, there’s no greater gift than passion for what you do!
This iconic song speaks the same message of self reliance, strength and independence as his father did 40 years ago.
This is a timeless song. Still true after 40 years.
YES - Country folks will survive!!! HANK ROCKS!!!! hIS DAD WAS A LEGEND!! Ands Jr is also a legend!!!
Oh dog! I'm from Colorado Springs too! Graduated high school 89.
Grew up listening to country music. My Daddy is a country boy from Tennessee.
Growing up in Louisiana it's always weird to think that people have made it their whole lives without ever hearing this song 😂😂😂 it's played at house parties and bar room since as long as I can remember and still plays in those places to this day. Great reaction you got yourself a new subscriber!
I love it when someone who hates country music actually listens to some good country. It's much more than the story being told. The passion you here in the voice tells so much more than the words.
I don't think Black P hates country whatsoever.
He said he likes it now in beginning of video
well most new country music give actually good country music a bad name
So very true. Country just like Classic Rock, both are losing all of their best artists. @jacoblanning
"He's just telling a story" probably the best definition of real country music.
Simply wow! Just discovered you last night and spent 7 hours watching. I’m in Tennessee and have spent most of my life only listening to rock/ metal. What you said about how you spent years being close minded to other music really resonated with me. I’m just now giving other music a chance. I won’t say I like all of it but have grown an appreciation for it. Thank you for your honest feedback on the music.
I've sat next to Hank getting a haircut, delivered coffee to his office. And watched him sing when he opened his club 3 miles from my house. I've got drunk with him and his crew back in 81. Hank is America. I think he has been awarded country music entertainer of the year 7 times and won a couple Grammys. You must have lived in a vaccume for 40 years.
The one thing these younger generations have shunned are the older generations who did grow up the way us country folk have. We have so much knowledge about everything Hank talks about. Us country folk can and will survive.
Kudos to your openmindedness about this. Its great!
I can't believe some people never heard of Hank Jr. HE IS awesome!!
For Real
I'm 43 and never heard the lyrics before. Grew up with EDM and hip hop. This song hits hard. I feel like everyone can relate. Lived in an apartment next to an old black guy who had a rebel flag who tried to explain this stuff to me but back then, 10 years ago, I just didn't get it. Crazy how much my attitudes changed. Much happier now.
Gonna make my son listen to it...
It's that culture, suppressed
most people aren't so quick to try and learn about our culture and i appreciate you being curious and saying your thoughts.
much love from dixieland
Air Force vet here, my red, white and blue comes first! ( Texas Flag right under it 😇) I appreciate your honest commentary, I'm going to check out the rest of your videos, thanks for being great!
Kentucky boy here! I love everybody! Country boy can absolutely survive! God bless us all!
"for 43 dollars my friend lost his life"...gets me every time. Great song...glad you reacted to it!
I stumbled on this video and I'm glad I watched this. I LOVE your "American" attitude. You are exactly right in saying that you are an "American". This video was done in 1981, and it was relevant with it's time. Things were bleak then, but having lived through those times, I believe they are even bleaker now. If you're ever in the Ozarks, get ahold of me and I will see to it you get to experience some outdoor living. As a lifelong hillbilly, I can assure you that his song relates and is accurate regarding the "country folks" in this country of ours. It makes me happy that you understand what this song is saying.
U seem so humble and always respect when and where it needs . Much respect for you and Teh
That song came out in 1982 - everything he is saying is still relevant. I can feed my family from the woods and rivers...always meat in the freezer around here.
To go back to what you were saying at the end about hunting, the Confederate flag, and surviving. I'm in south Mississippi and have pretty much lived this song. For the majority of us Southerners, the flag is simply an easily recognizable symbol for the South. You see it on a truck tag, flag pole, or tattoo, you know they are someone who's proud to be from this area. A young black girl I used to hang out with had the rebel flag tattoo on one arm and tire tracks from mud grip tires running around her other arm. It's not a white thing, just a Southern thing. And as far as hunting goes, it's not all about shooting something. It's about spending countless hours out in the woods, watching and listening to nature. You learn to blend it and become part of it. Much like fishing is more about being on the water than just getting fish to eat. Great reaction, and I hope you cover some more of Hank Jrs music.
When I was a kid in the 1960's everyone called it the Rebel flag. Like you stated, it was a regional thing. Later the Dukes of Hazard made it popular again and EVERYONE wanted to be a Rebel.
Well put.
Well said bro, VERY well said. ✌️
Im glad to see young folks getting into each others music. Music touches the soul of so many people we need to share it.
Lol. Dude I grew up on this. One of my favorite songs from early 80's. Glad you enjoy it and have opened your eyes. Good stuff
Hank Jr. Was the son if the country ICON Hank Williams. He did the entro to Monday Night Football for years with his song. He’s country rock.
His dad, Hank Sr was the first inducty to the Country Music Hall of Fame, Hank Jr is also a member, both legends. Check out his song Family Tradition. Great reaction.
I always loved how Hank Jr was able to take a corny line like "we say grace, and we say 'ma'am'" and make it defiant, confrontational, and in-your-face, like a dare.
I'm new to your show and I'm loving it I lived in Colorado Wyoming I saw Hank Williams Jr at Red rocks I have loves old country soul rhythm blues you name it things like the temptations my dad was all over the place and the blues they win every time Stevie Ray oh yeah and a lot more others oh my god I got to see Ginger Baker and Buddy Guy and we would go down to a little blues club in Milwaukee I'll never forget those days be
This came out 42 years ago. Hank Jr. , is a legend! He is a rebel in country music. The best kind!!❤
I absolutely love what you said about the American flag. It DOES represent all of us. ❤🇺🇸
The older you get, the more you can relate to country music.
I feel this hard.
Seeing Hank live is a great experience!. Can't wait for him to be at RTS again summer of 25
Been living by these words since I was 9 years old. 💪. God Bless Hank Jr. 🍻
Brother, I absolutely love your take on this. True Southerners love the Confederate flag. Not as a symbol of racism, but a symbol of solidarity of what the truth out South represents. Family (of all colors) , self-sufficiency, and protecting your own.
Funny thing is, MOST bikers, where are the patch of the rebel flag. Not as in racism, but they are rebelling against society and government. 90% of the rebel flag has nothing to do with racism.
I am so thankful for young people like you that are willing to open your mind to what the mass media promotes. So happy I stumbled across your page.
💯 glad I run cross u I’m cool with u2
I agree with everything in your comment! Riley Green has a song That Ain't My Dixie that explains the Rebel flag and the South better than anything I've ever heard. Well worth a listen if you haven't heard it.
Hard to believe you have never heard of Bocephus before, but I'm glad this relic from the past is still impacting the youth of today. I like what you have to say and the way you think young man. It's encouraging to see that a few can still think for themselves. I just subscribed. Keep it going young man.
First time watching a reaction of yours. The song is great, I’ve listened to it for years. But what really caught my attention was your take on life. It’s clear you feel the same way about life that I do. It gives me hope that this country has a chance. Keep up the good work.
