9/5/2007 Stephen L. Betts Hank Williams Jr dropped by Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, the legendary honky-tonk on Nashville's lower Broadway Sunday night (9/2), for a show that few will soon forget. In the middle of his signature hit, "Family Tradition," Hank Jr.'s false teeth took a stage dive. Reportedly, Hank scrambled around looking for them, while unleashing a few expletives and telling the crowd that he paid $5000 for the teeth and they should stay put. After getting the teeth back in his mouth, Hank declared, "Half-time's over! I'm back!," giving fans another half hour of music (minus flying dentures).
