Porter introduces a song from his "Confessions Of A Broken Man" LP, then backed by The Wagonmasters, recites Hank Williams' "Men With Broken Hearts." Dare you not to get choked up as Porter reads "Some lose faith in love and life, as sorrow shoots her darts..." Nice split screen effect halfway through number. Porter has never looked more earnestly serious, and it's a great reading (especially considering that it's coming from a man wearing a sherbet-colored suit).
