I am so thankful for President Ronald Regan, for giving Merle a pardon. Without that pardon we would not have all this great music.

I got to meet Hag after a concert some years ago and hang out in the front of his bus he was the most down to earth person ,he was so cool . I was leaving an asked him for his autograph but I didn't have anything to get signed so he signed my new dress shirt I got for the show , across the front with a sharpie ! I wear it now an then when I get in a Hag mood

I like that last one, "to bad boys, I've already a good time" Merle I'm sure has had more fun than most men will have in 100 lifetimes. I loved Merle. I didn't quite know how to take that song though. I have heard several explanations and they have all been different. I heard him say it and I believe it. I didn't hear it hear though.

I wonder why it's so rare to find people that listen to old country stars like haggard. it just seems like with all that was happening in the world with wars, drugs, and hippies, it seems like the country music of the time fell on the wrong side of history.

Listen to Steve Earle, just about anything his, but So You Wanna Be an Outlaw is pretty recent and great. Steve Earle has been the heart and soul of hard-core honky-tonk since the mid 80s

No disrespect to Merle. I saw him with his jazz band in San Francisco 10 years ago at least. After the show, he sat on the steps of his bus parked on the street and signed autographs for at least an hour. The audience included some demographics you don’t see at every SF Jazz concert.

Merle didn’t change from crime because of Cash. He had escaped prison several times and an inmate had asked him to escape again but Merle declined. The inmate was pulled over and killed an officer after his escape, that scared Merle straight along with a visit from Cash. He had said he wasn’t a fan of Cash’s music but was in awe of his stage presence and connection with the prisoners. Cash turned him on to country music.

The greatest singer/songwriter in C&W history. Merle was like a Royal flush in poker. He was a great singer, versatile singer, prolific songwriter, solid musician, and a fine entertainer. On top of that he had movie star looks. Name me one other artist in the history of American music that was also a Royal flush. Maybe Brian WIlson?

Leona Williams used Merle, when he wouldn't put the spotlight on her in his shows she got her panties in a wad and bailed on him....they had an open marriage, that's been reported many times and even in one of Merle's books he admitted that....but, he was a man who loved and I really feel she broke his heart when she left....but, he rebounded,,,,probably the best thing Leona ever did for Merle, was leave him! I am so happy he found Theresa and shared almost 30 years with her!
