Re-Instate Hank Williams into The Grand Ole Opry

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

We all know it is rare for Confusingous to involve himself in a cause.
However, this one could not be overlooked.

Thank you University of Alabama - Birmingham

Click here to sign the petition to reinstate Hank Williams Opry membership!

The Opry fired Hank on August 11, 1952 due to his drinking issues. Hank Williams died on January 1, 1953 and the issue was never able to be resolved. Since then, the Grand Ole Opry has used the music and image of Hank Williams to promote it’s show and products. The Opry owes Hank Williams and his family the courtesy of returning his membership if they choose to use his legacy for financial gain.

Please be sure to sign the petition so that The Grand Ole Opry may be told your opinion: that they should do right by Hank!
