Hank Williams Jr. to Run for U.S. Senate
Just when you thought no worthwhile musician would ever support the Republican Party, Hank Williams Jr. comes a courtin’.
After consulting with Tennessee political veterans ex-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) and Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), the award-winning country singer famous for the hits “Family Tradition” and “There’s a Tear in My Beer” is positioning himself for a Senate run in 2012, according to Townhall.com.
Mr. Williams, born Randall Hank Williams in 1949 to mother Audrey and father Hank–who nicknamed his son Bocephus for some reason–has long been a supporter of Republican causes, igniting controversy at a Colorado rally earlier this month with his statement that President-elect Barack Obama is “not real crazy about” the national anthem.

[Note: Mr. Williams re-wrote one of his hits, "Family Tradition," this past fall to sing at campaign appearances for the GOP Ticket. Click here to watch and hear "The McCain Palin Tradition."]
If I recall correctly, Mr. Williams was the author/performer of one of this poster's favorite songs.
