Jordan Peterson on Hank Williams

[plasteredbastard]

Hank made this man cry, I can't lie he's made me well up too.

[goodolslippyfist]

Hank was and still is KING of country music

I understand Dr. Peterson's emotion here. I've been pretty depressed over the last three years and one day I decided to buy a Hank Williams CD. So I drove up to Walmart without even knowing whether they even had one or not. I go through literally all of their CDS until I find a single one of his albums. So I put it on and figured I'd go for a ride. All of the songs where wonderful but when the song I Saw the Light came on I almost broke down. Not because I was sad but rather it was the first time in YEARS that I actually felt Joy.

"The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky." One of the best lyrics ever.

[johncoronity]

Hank Sr. Is one the greatest men to ever pick up a guitar or write a song

[malcolmnicoll]

Hank Williams intimately knew the depths of pain and sorrow and was able to transmute and express it in his music.
“I saw the Light” is one of the most spiritual and beautiful songs ever written.

"Now I'm lost, to late to pray. Just another guy on the lost highway"

[AmericanCrusader]

Don’t blame him for tearing up, Hank Williams changed the world.

No cap coming from a 30 year old black man, but that line hank Williams has on HGL that says “I’m gonna throw my date book over the fence, and buy me one for 5 or 10 cents, I’ll keep it till it’s covered with age, bcuz I’m writing your name on every page” made me tear TF up…bcuz it makes me think about a love that virtually doesn’t exist anymore…that long lasting, grow old together love….it escapes me

[Eliuhd]

Golly never heard someone speak so passionately about hank and his music.. awesome

2024 and I’m still listening to Hank Williams and Hank Williams jr

Thank You JP For Honoring Our Country Music Son.

[tarquin]

Classical music makes me cry, but so does country music. Nice to have an intellect like Jordan saluting Hank and his music.

[philipthompson]

The truth is we don't know how Hank died not to be a stickler because there was no toxicology report in those days but I'm just amazed at how much Hank Williams has touched this man's life as he does so many who hear his music

[RamblinJer]

Hank Sr was one of greats, and for a young guy he had an old soul or something because his lyrics carried a lot of experience for his age.

[zepptar]

Hank William’s voice is absolutely haunting. So much so I can’t stop listening.

[ColbyLaneEisenbach]

29, 11 number one hits…6 year recording career. More than most could do in a life time

[shawnbruce]

I Love how He is Always in touch with His feelings.

[dabomb]

The people nowadays are so inhuman. This is human. To be able to feel without necessarily experiencing something firsthand. That’s what empathy looks like everyone. Pure empathy. Fuck It’d bring a tear to my eye if I was talking abt it too.
