I recently told a colleague who made a blanket statement that he didn't like country music but who liked punk rock that Waylon and Hank Jr. were the equivalent of punk rock to country music.

I'm of an age and class where my first exposure to Hank Jr was on Monday Night Football and I can assure you there was nothing "punk" about that. (I understand Hank III is different tho)

Most of the punk people I knew liked every genre, except maybe 80s pop.

Hmm, and they're still touring. Wouldn't mind seeing them do "Wise Up! Sucker" live.
