And now, from the "Bocephus Grabbed My Butt" files, and Yahoo! News...
Sudiegirl sez: I want to know why is this treated like “news”? Ol’ “Bocephus” (which sounds like some kind of rash that Gold Bond could address) has nurtured his “country/western bad boy” image for what seems like centuries, but is really only years. To me, the related account sounds more like a regular Saturday night for America’s favorite degenerate. I feel badly for the victim, at any rate, and I hope they throw Bocephus into detox. Sounds like he needs it.
Hank Williams Jr. Accused of Harrassment
Wed Mar 22, 6:47 AM ET
A 19-year-old waitress has accused Hank Williams Jr. of harassing her in a hotel bar. (Interesting start…)
Holly Hornbeak alleged that around midnight Saturday the country superstar swore at her, tried to kiss her and lifted her in a chokehold, according to a police report. (Is this how they express love and affection in his social circle? “Baby, I love you, let me choke you real good.”)
Williams has been staying at the Peabody Hotel while his daughters are being treated in a Memphis hospital for injuries they suffered in a car crash. (I wonder if he was hitting on her just so he could stay at her place and not have to pay for another night at the hotel. And BTW, isn’t that the hotel that has the ducks living in the fountain?)
Police had not issued any warrants in the case as of Tuesday evening, The Commercial Appeal newspaper reported. (Huh…wonder why that is?)
Nor has Williams been contacted by police, his publicist, Kirt Webster told The Associated Press Tuesday night. (Maybe he just passed out in a fog of alcohol and beef jerky while watching “Dukes of Hazzard” reruns. Just a speculation…)
"I am shocked at such allegations," Webster said in a statement. "Hank Jr. has had to defend himself once already in Memphis last Friday from erroneous allegations, and now this. (Didja ever notice that when a publicist says they’re “shocked at such allegations”, it usually winds up that their client actually DID what they were accused of doing? Ask Ted Kennedy.)
"Hank and family is still staying at the hotel (shouldn’t it be “are” instead of “is”? Damn my English degree!), if any issues were problematic one would think that the hotel would ask him to check out or leave the premises. Neither has happened." (Translation: “Money exchanged hands – that’s all we have to say.”)
On Friday Williams held a news conference to dispel rumors started by an anonymous caller on a radio talk show that he had asked for only white personnel to attend to his daughters. (Interesting…so we can add racism as another potential problem to the list. Interesting indeed. Why am I not surprised?)
The women were seriously injured when their SUV overturned on a Mississippi highway last Wednesday. Holly Williams, 25, was released from the hospital Friday. Hilary Williams, 27, remained in intensive care Tuesday. (Yowch…I’m not going to poke fun at their pain. That had to have been scary.)
Hank Williams Jr. has had a string of No. 1 hits including "Family Tradition" and "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight." He has sung the theme for ABC's "Monday Night Football" since 1989. (And it’s high time he stopped…just my personal opinion, but come on. Wouldn’t you think that there are other obnoxious, hard-drinking celebrities that would like to have a turn?)
His father, a star in the late 1940s to early 1950s, had hits like "Your Cheatin' Heart" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." He died in 1953. (But you forgot to mention the whole “post-mortem duet” that Bocephus and his paw did – “There’s a Tear In My Beer” – that many fans seemed to enjoy. What’s up with that?)
Sudiegirl’s final opinion?
I do enjoy a smidge of country music now and then, but it’s got to be GOOD music, and Bocephus ain’t it. Just ‘cause your paw was famous and died in a horrific car crash doesn’t write your golden ticket for life. It just makes you more of a target for jokes like mine.
Sorry, Bo. And get an easier nickname to spell, dammit!
