Four angels carry Hank Williams to heaven



One of Hank Williams' most overtly religious hits, "I  saw the Light" 
was not in fact inspired by biblical visions.

According to biographers, Hank was passed out in the back of a limo
when he raised up out of his drunken stupor and literally saw the light...
the beacon light of a local airport near his home.
