** 1981: "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)" is full of {{Shout Out}}s to what many of his contemporaries were doing at the time: Music/GeorgeJones is "getting straight", Music/WaylonJennings "is staying home and loving Jessi [Colter] more these days", Music/JohnnyCash "don't act like he did back in '68", and Creator/KrisKristofferson "is a movie star and he's moved off to LA".

unfortunate implications need citations.


* UnfortunateImplications: "If The South Would Have Won" is full of them, but most glaringly, the final spoken line ''We'd be better off''. Either Hank Jr forgets why there was a Civil War or he doesn't care.
