Hank Williams, Jr. Launching ‘Loud and Rowdy’ Radio Show
Conservative country star Hank Williams, Jr. is getting his own radio show just in time to weigh in on the presidential elections. The outspokenly gun-loving, liberal-hating singer is getting set to produce three two-hour radio shows that are slated to air in the weeks before Election Day.
Titled ‘Loud and Rowdy,’ the radio specials will feature news, politics, music, and Williams “speaking his mind,” a spokeswoman for the singer tells the Washington Times. Williams is apparently offering the program free to any station that wants to air it in an effort to get his message out to voters prior to the upcoming presidential election.
There’s no word so far as to the actual content of the shows, but it’s probably safe to assume Williams won’t be coming out in support of President Obama, whom he has attacked repeatedly in interviews and onstage at his concerts for his belief that the president is a secret Muslim who is plotting against America.
“I mean, the guy is the worst,” Williams said in an interview in July. “Giveaway programs, hates America in the first place, forget about the flag … You know, we’ve got a President that does a call to the Quran or Mecca or whatever.”
Williams’ new album ‘Old School, New Rules’ features a number of songs inspired by the now-infamous incident in which his music was pulled from ‘Monday Night Football’ after he went on ‘Fox & Friends’ and compared the president to Hitler. The singer has continued to express similar opinions from the stage at several recent concerts. “We’ve got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the US and we hate him!” he said during an Aug. 17 performance at the Iowa State Fair.
The first of three installments of ‘Loud and Rowdy’ is scheduled to be ready by this weekend.

‘Koalaing’ Could Be the Cutest Web Photo Trend Yet
Forget (if you haven't already) milking, planking, hadokening, any of those-ings that were internet fads for a hot minute. They've been replaced. They're done. Koalaing -- that's the trick o' the day. It involved clinging as tightly to a pole or tree as possible like a koala. It's pretty adorable. Check it out.

Remember When George Strait Went to Prison?
It was the wildest show behind bars, and George Strait was in the thick of it for one year in the early '80s. He wasn't the only one. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall … they all did time behind the walls of the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Would Keith Urban Return to ‘American Idol’?
Most average people hate their jobs, toiling away to earn a wage and to make ends meet.

Deer Goes Crazy After Crashing Into a Bus
May 18, 2013 12:00 PM I have had my fair share of run ins with deer. Living in the country, it's just a way of life. You must, during the early morning hours and evening/night hours, constantly be on alert and have your eyes scanning the sides of the road.
Once, on a trip back to Indiana from Tennessee, a deer came inches away from slamming through the passenger side window of my car, injuring my son. Luckily, the deer hit the front of the windshield and rolled off the hood of the car. But in the case of this bus, it came right through the window and went crazy!!
Trick Shot Videos That Would Make LeBron and Tiger Jealous
May 18, 2013 8:00 AM Trick shot videos can be pretty amazing depending on how elaborate they are, which in some cases might even make you question their authenticity. The first Video is one of the most incredible basketball shots you will ever see featuring a guy falling from a 100-goot platform and dropping the ball through the hoop. The second video might be the greates trick golf shot ever and definitely a one-in-a-million shot.
‘Sixty for Sixty’ Campaign for George Strait Falls Short
May 18, 2013 4:00 AM George Strait turns 61 years old TODAY! The "Sixty for Sixty" campaign to get George his 60th #1 single while he was still 60 years old didn't quite make it, "Give It All We Got Tonight" has only made it to #10. But, that's OK, there is no one like George Strait and there quite possibly never will be. Several, I mean tons, of artists made videos to try and urge fans to buy the single. It is very touching. Watch them give love and admiration to the king of country music.
