The Resume

    (May 26, 1949- )
    Birth name is Randall Hank Williams
    Released more than 70 albums
    Recorded the theme to 'Monday Night Football' (1989-92, 1994- )
    Son of Hank Williams, Sr.
    Nicknamed 'Bocephus' by his father

Why he might be annoying:

    His catch phrase, 'Are you ready for some football?!,' has been overused by people everywhere.
    His music has been described by some critics as crass and somewhat boorish.
    He abused drugs and alcohol in early adulthood.
    He attempted suicide in 1974.
    At the peak of his career, his fans were rowdy and liked waving Confederate flags at his concerts.
    He covered his dad's hit 'There's a Tear in My Beer' as a 'duet' with his late father, even before Natalie Cole did it with her father's songs.
    ESPN pulled his 'Monday Night Football' opening after he said that Barack Obama playing golf with John Boehner was like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu (October 3, 2011).

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father died when he was three.
    He had to live in his father's shadow for many years.
    On a mountain climb in Montana, in 1975, he fell more than 400 feet down the mountain, splitting his skull and crushing the bones in his face.
    He miraculously survived and his face was reconstructed, but he still wears sunglasses in public to cover the scars.
    He was able to emerge from his father's shadow and create his own musical identity.
    He created a distinctive sound that mixed country, blues and southern rock.
    He won four consecutive Emmys for his 'Monday Night Football' theme. (1990-93)
    His songs became anthems for working class folk.
