Does anyone happen to know that the last thing Hank Williams wrote on that final limo ride he took? I used to have it written down somewhere, something about poison. It was in some bio or another and now I can't for the life of me find it when I need it. Anyway if anyone can help it'd be appreciated.

No, but I made the mistake of bringing up Hanks' morphine and alcohol abusing in the Hank Williams museum. Didn't go over well with the curator. They had a car, but I don't think it was the Death Car. I was pissed.

Also, one night when we were bored, I proposed hitting the Dog Track, getting really drunk and going to Hank's grave. I scare myself sometimes.

Whatever it was, Bocephus will probably whore it out to Kid Rock to sample on the latter's next album.

Hell, he won't even whore it out. He'll let Kid use it free.

That said, Bocephus is hella nickname.

That would suck, yet be so awesome that it didn't suck, if you know what I mean. Would be in a bio? I don't have one, but I do have the TimeLife edition of his greatest hits, it has massive liner notes. I'll check that and report back.

SCORE!

There was a piece of paper in the corpse’s right hand which read :
“We met, we lived and dear we loved, then comes that fatal day,
the love that felt so dear fades far away.
Tonight love hathe one alone and lonesome, all that I could sing,
I you you [sic] still and always will,
but that's the poison we have to pay.”

scotty you were dead right!
