[edit] Fued with David Allan Coe

Come on ya'll, no mention of his fued with David Allan Coe and how Coe accused Hank, Jr. of selling out and not upholding his fathers "Family Tradition"?

What fued with DAC? I've always heard that they were good friends. I think you need to re-check what you are saying. Alakey2010 Thursday, May 04, 2006 4:34 PM.
I've never heard of any feud with Coe either. I've always heard that they've been pretty good friends. If I'm not mistaken, Coe wrote and recorded a sort of tribute song to Hank called "Hank Williams Jr. Junior." One of the songs most memorable lines involves Coe not calling "Hank Williams Jr. Junior anymore" signaling that he respected Hank, his music, and his musical direction.Odin's Beard 00:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure that that is referring to Hank Williams, Jr's son Hank Williams III who did an album with David Allan Coe.

[edit] Early Life & Career?

It says "and that his identical to those of Hank Williams" can someone tell me what that means in english?


[edit] Request to add a link

This article mentions a fan website that promoted an on-line petition to induct Hank Williams, Jr. into the Hall of Fame. That website is www.hankfans.com and it is proving to be the most successful message board ever dedicated to this artist. I have noticed that other artists have "Fan Pages" listed in their articles, so we would like to do the same for HankFans.com, not only so that more fans will have an outlet for discussion, but also for the benefit of the petition, itself. Please feel free to join and evaluate the website, if you like, and then please approve this request to include a link in the Wikipedia article. The link should point either to the website, the petition, or both. Thank you for your consideration.

Please allow the links to be added to that line of the Wikipedia article to give a further understanding to all who come across this Hank Williams Jr. article.

This isn't a fan forum. It's not for discussing getting Hank into the Hall Of Fame or how he's a better recording artist or any of the other stuff that people come up with. The discussion page is to bring up how to improve the article: what to put into it, what not to, adding this or adding that, etc. Someplace like CMT.com is the best place to discuss stuff like this. Also, in the future, sign your posts please. 4.225.11.137 02:31, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid you have misunderstood the point. As mentioned above, many other artists' pages in Wikipedia have a fan page BECAUSE it enhances the article. How is this article any different? Your response seems to ignore that point. (Also, regarding your request that we sign our posts, I'm afraid I need more information than that. I'll research it when I have the chance.)
