Um... file this under "crazy," "disgusting," "oh-that-explains-that" and "wikipedia" (consider that a warning):
from Wikipedia's article about Hank Williams Jr.
Injury and recovery
In 1975, he was severely injured in a mountain-climbing accident in Montana. The accident destroyed his face, shattering every bone within his face and actually exposing his brain to open air. It would eventually take 9 major surgeries to put his face back together again. In order to hide the numerous scars, Williams adopted a look that would become his trademark, a thick full beard, cowboy hat, and dark sunglasses. Upon his recovery (which took two years), Williams worked with Waylon Jennings on The New South. He didn't reach the charts again until the late 1970s, with I Fought the Law (Bobby Fuller), Family Tradition and Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound.
another bizarre spam i received is in slot 3...
hey jon, i hope you didn't want your camera, because it was in my bag when you left. i wasn't even using it, so i feel pretty dumb. sorry about that!
I just made it in... thanks for the well wishes guys, it was a pretty awesome trip. I took a few pictures hopefully they will show up on my flickr feed in a few minutes. Eli, I expect the same of you.
interesting article on early pop music and cylinder recordings, and a UC Santa Barbara project that is digitizing thousands of old edison cylinders and distributing them for free on teh interweb:
I just read that "Snakes on a Plane" article, Zach. Oh good lordy, I can hardly believe it's true. The crowd noise is going to be deafening when Sam Jackson says that line in the theater. HOLY CRAP HAHAHAHAHA
i think i just missed you, jonbro. have a good trip guys!
Bon voyage, Jonbro & Eli. Enjoy Maryland.
