Hank Jr. writes song about 'Fox & Friends,' ESPN

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Hank Williams Jr. will have his say.

Williams has cut a new song, "Keep the Change," calling out "Fox & Friends" and ESPN after an interview last week on the show led to the end of his association with the sports network and "Monday Night Football," long home to his "Are you ready for some football?" theme.

He's also scheduled to appear on "The View" and "Hannity" on Tuesday to discuss the uproar that sprung up after he made an analogy that President Barack Obama and House Speaker Rep. John Boehner golfing together would be like Nazi leader Adolph Hitler and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu playing a round.

ESPN decided to pull Williams' "All My Rowdy Friends" intro from last Monday's "MNF" telecast and the move became permanent Thursday.

Whether he's firing up the tour bus or heading into the studio, he uses the principles he learned while playing at Gibbs High School outside Knoxville. This epiphany came to Chesney while he was recording for his latest album, "Hemingway's Whiskey," and eventually grew into the documentary film "Boys of Fall," which airs on ESPN this Sunday.
