The Band of Gold video has been removed. We all know the original. But, sometimes it's fun to see what a different kind of artist will do with one.
Driving a few weeks back, window open, tuned to an oldies country station, I heard Hank singing Hey Good Lookin. Traffic stopped for a light. Next to me was the McDonalds car, a big open, boatlike thing, all yellow and curved at the ends. Driven by two young black men. They cranked up their own radio to drown out mine. Hip Hop flooded over the highway like a tidal wave. I knew where they were coming from, and what Hank's song represented to them, and had to grin. Anyway, I can like a song for what it is and not use it against anyone.
