It has so much to tell me about where we've come from and where we're headed as far as society's genetics, country music, and probably a third thing. Each one of them is a portrait of the times they lived in. When do you think we had it best as a society?
There's Hank Williams, born September 17th, 1923. From the last of the "Gene Autry/yodeling cowboy" era of country music. Drank/pilled himself to death on New Year's Day. He was 29.
There's Hank "Bocephus" Williams Jr., born May 26, 1949.
There's Hank Williams III, born December 12, 1972. Got into music after his "wife" sued him for child support. Hank 3 was an absent father.
And finally, there's Coleman Williams born sometime in 1991 and is not named Hank. Originally wasn't even named "Williams." But as Hank 3's only musical child, he has taken up the "Hank Williams" mantle and named himself "Fourth." Coleman reconnected with his father once he reached high school, and then went on a solo journey to discover himself as a musician.
