POPFITES 11 and 12!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

An easy win last time for Madonna and barely less so for Kylie - so far we've not had a really close pop star fite - maybe these will provide it. It's an ALL-BOY SPECIAL with pop's most laconic star facing off against an indie icon, and a second contest between two stars who may not immediately yell 'pop' at you...

No, not really. Here he is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Williams).

I have never heard of ANY of his songs.

I don't really know any Hank Williams songs but I heard that like Johnny Cash he was a complete git.

I nommed Hank. You know how comedy bores always go "Oh, Graham Chapman/Peter Cook achieved everything they wanted to, so just spent the next 20 years of their life drinking themselves to death. Hank Williams managed to drink himself to death after reaching the pinnacle of music in about three months. He was kind of the first Pop Star as we appreciate it these days (maybe Cab Calloway was actually first, though?). He died young, which is POP, and his songs were about TEENAGE STUFF LIKE TAKING YOUR GIRL OUT TO DINNER and KILLING YOURSELF, which is also pop.

Anyone whom doesn't have any Hank in their life needs to get dumped, buy some bourbon, and then ask me for recommendations.
