I think so too, the message of this song resounds esp these days .....

jerenita fagayan The message of this song is indeed more relevant today than it was back then.

Haggard was an anti-Iraq war left-winger

100% Man!! 👏👏👏👏

@Twin Reverbs Are Loud I was in Iraq in 09. I don't know if its all true what you say, but I am proud of what I did over there. I do know for a fact that those people for the most part glad we had freed them. Unfortunately, they had been under a dictator that controlled every aspect of their lives for so long, they are not able to do for themselves. Hence, ISIS filled the void. What is funny, the democratic party is wanting to do the exact same thing to the American people that saddam did to his.

I mean, ya, It DO GO DOWN

Yes

Indeed, Republicans need to actually govern and stop acting like a doorstop.

A river is just fine 😂

California ain’t what it used to be at all

@@thelonehussar6101 That’s not true. California still has plenty of great, fun and safe places. Yes, the politicians and criminals have become more corrupt in recent years and people vote way too far left for my taste, but in spite of that it’s overall a relaxed, good place. You have to be aware of and avoid the bad areas. There always have been unsafe areas. Try not to buy Into all the modern hype and sensationalism of the media. You don’t hear about the countless good things from those people but the few bad situations and places. Sensationalism draws viewers.

He was wayyyy too conservative for modern California. The South would proudly claim him though I'm sure.

@@Jonandbrianshow He lived in California until he died which was only seven years ago. Most people who don’t reside in California don’t realize just how conservative many Californians are. Publicity is always given to the most populated liberal cities like L.A., aS.F Bay Area and places like that. Also, in spite of some of his songs Merle was a little more liberal than most people are aware of.

You got that right!!

No, You need more Bob Dylan

I agree, we need to hear more Merle Haggard on the radio.

@@danielmarioriveracordova5069 lol we've had ten lifetimes worth of communist bullshit from zimmerman et al thanks very much

@@ejs6758 Communism is never enough

Bellator The Khajiit Paladin Tell that to people in Venezuela

New country is just pop with some country idiosyncrasies.

New country is sexier,… but I appreciate it all.

Gina Z. That is so true

I agree!

you got that right ! i am just glad i have his CDs ! he was and always be one of the greatest singer songwriters !

Guess you're a good country MUSIC lover?

Gonna sing this at a river

Imagine if someone yelled "if you don't love it, leave it!" to the founding fathers?

@@jaimealvarado4421 haha for real.

wow men like merle haggard and glen campbell just don't exist anymore

@@jaimealvarado4421 that's what the founding fathers said to the british sympathizers/loyalists

@@leahflower9924 that’s not following the logic of the comment. The comment is not that they told it to someone , it’s imagine if someone had told that to them.

NO ITS A BRICH

I was set to see him an Willie next Sat in New Braunsfels. Oh well. Ol Merle's got himself a pair of silver wings now.

***** yes he did, hope we have Nelson for a long time

+Victoria Smith Same here. I regret not being able to see him live :/

Same here.

+Victoria Smith Me too. That is another regret to add to my many. Grew up listening to and singing along with Merle.

Or you should move to America?

😂😂😂😂

"It don't- it don't go down"

👍

@Dennis Granahan Amen!

Yes.

LOVIN' KEN BURNS COUNTRY MUSIC! SEEIN' ALL THE GOOD OLE FOLKS!!

What about Cash? Johnny Cash?

+Rich Dudley It was mine, as well, when I returned from Iraq. Very timeless, and very fitting. RIP Merle Haggard.

KonradAdenauerJr Thank you for your service young man. You didn't specify Marine, Soldier, Sailor or Airman. So again from a AF PJ, thank you.

+Rich Dudley Thank you for your kind reply, and (I know it's decades overdue) a very cordial Welcome Home. A bit about me: US Army Reserve, enlisted, tours in Iraq and Afghanistan (as far as my youth... I'm 44 years old:-) ). I first heard this song after I returned... and loved it.

KonradAdenauerJr When you are 68, you too will consider 44 young :) Thank you for the welcome home. I have striven these many years to make sure people respected military personnel, even if they disagreed with the military action being waged. I was an AF PJ who served 3 tours in Vietnam between '67 and '72 when I was medically retired. I came home to a country full of people that spit on me, pelted me with rotten vegetables and screamed vile obscenities at me. And I couldn't kill any of them! I have a ribbon rack in a shadow box with a tomato seed stuck smack dab in the middle of my Silver Star, almost like an attachment.

+Rich Dudley That's an interesting place for a tomato seed to land in. When I was in college in the early 1990s, I had this professor who had been opposed to the Vietnam War during her own college years, and who conceded that the antiwar protesters had made a huge mistake by treating returning vets the way you've described. When returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, I never experienced such a mean "reception."

Legends tell us it do go down

We literally have a national anthem. And please don't confuse nationalist propaganda with patriotism.

@@TheTGOAC Yeah honestly

@@TheTGOAC Hahaa.. Says the punk who is subscribed to the ‘peepee gang’.. go back to your video games in mommies basement. Obviously you don’t understand the comment. National anthem was never mentioned, so don’t get it twisted.

@@uncleclem7381 let me guess.. you think don lemon is a cool guy hahaha

@@TheTGOAC what's wrong with nationalism, and also how's that possible wrong not attributable to patriotism?

I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise me in the least! Thanks for the tidbit of trivia.

Lets hear the story please!

@Sandra-My love for this song is unexplainable . Needed in fallout . I guess he’s your favorite country musician, Right ?.

I grew up on hip-hop and punk rock. If I knew about this music as a kid, I’d probably be a musician. Waylon is probably my favorite. Merle is a beast as well. True outlaws and I’ve got that outlaw mentality.

I like punk and early metal but a lot of country music is better they can sound good with just an acoustic guitar and their voice they don't even need a microphone

​@@denniss2900Waylon's my favorite too or Hank Williams senior

These guys are metal

I love your name! 😂

and look how americans fought covid

Lol ya got that right! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

A 70's grandmother and so true !!!

@@MelanieSHicks 9

Hello 👋Karen. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl

And it will never be another Merle haggard.

Absolutely....

trump is trash

and Elvis and Jerry Lee.

How could you leave out Johnny Cash and June Carter. Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells. Willie, Moe Bandy, Patsy Cline, Buck, Charley, Jeannie C., Jerry Lee, Emmy Lou, Crystal, Oakridge Boys, and a whole host of others.

Secret Squirrel Jimmie Rodgers

Ragged old flag. Johhny cash

@@MrLikeke n David Allan Coe

If we did that, most celebrities would threaten to move out of the country. The bad part is ….they NEVER do!!!!!

Like a fishing event

​@@annchovey2089no they wouldn't? Lol that's such a stupid thing to say, what makes you say that?

@@wolfmasters1 They threaten all the time over presidential elections but end up staying right here. So can you now see how your reply was "a stupid thing to say"?

Hello

it's better that you wanted to serve, and tried to serve, but couldn't. nice try tho and way to support the UK.👍

you realize okie was a satire song right? he was poking fun at the archaic beliefs of simpleton small town conservatives. haggard supported Obama and hillary in the decade leading up to his death.

+Forrest Shields Not a satire at all.

+Forrest Shields haha troll I'm from Bakersfield he spoke for us when he sang.

+Forrest Shields I'm sorry us small town simpleton are not as cultured as some other people like in New York, the state that gave us both Trump and Hillary. Them guys back there are far ahead of the curve it would seem.

A mom who thinks this needs to be heard again.

@@julesmca7635 AMEN! All those lives lost, don't mess with people still proud to be an American!

probably the most patriotic sounding song before I'm proud to be American that is lol

@@rhondaboncutter5812 that’s right sister.

Very appropriate to now, had it on a loop in my garage so my liberal neighbors can absorb it!

@@matthewbrashears1248 they too will know “it goes down”, that there is more to that bridge than what meets the eye

Im sure alot of people are its a song about blind national pride theres alot of that going around right now. Men fought and died for this country as men fought and died for Nazi Germany as men fought and died for Imperial Japan. Are unrealized ideals don't change the fact that were a sick society that lets children die without health care that lets veterans go homeless that lets our American Companies and Farms to hire illegal workers legally and profit from cheap labor whilst treating the workers as criminals we are a hypocritical society these ideals of freedom, liberty, justice are nothing more than that untill we truly realize them. Theres obviously worse places to live of course but in America we all taught from an eary age to believe in these absolutes that we are a free and just society. Ultimately this becomes the biggest obstacle towards actaully achieving that society as drones of fools view change as a digression from are already "perfect society" you hear it from right wing media all day how all will be lost if they lose power they sell optimism not practicality they sell those ideals those absolutes ingrained in us that we already live in a fair and just society and they use that to make us fear positive change. Now im not saying the left is only seeking positive change either though, pc and cancel culture and the censorship of art music, and especially comedy is sickening to me it weakens the ability for art to truly reflect culture which its has for all of time. The tribalism as a whole is destroying us we cannot communicate . Countless brillant minds from Socrates to Carl Jung emphasize that only the power of the individual can truly save humanity. People need to throw away there seals and deviate from the norm so we can begin trying to live by our conscience. I personally cannot and I think most of us are just too lazy to. We would rather be the bloodsuckers of the world knowing when we stuff our face others are starving not just around the world but our neighbors too. Its a hard reality to face and truthfully alot of people just don't care and they just hide behind patroitism. There the people who don't really believe in freedom, liberty, and justice they believe that things as they are benefit them and thats good enough for them to wave there flags around and say "Ill kick your fuckin ass if you talk bad about America" there patriotism lies in there need for security and there fear of change. All Im saying really is boy do us humans have a long way to go huh?

It do go down

This song could've been written today, and it would be just as applicable. Many of these liberals are constantly complaining about what an awful place this country is. If they can't handle living in the greatest nation the world has ever seen because of a problem they've made up, then they are more than welcome to go live in one of these horrific communist countries that they are always so busy praising. God bless America, and those with the courage to defend it.

Glenda Easley Well, I hate to be that guy on KZfaq, but ehhhh, flag burning is protected free speech, and organized prayer in public schools is showing preference to either a particular religion or religion over none in general. Matter of fact, most Western countries protect flag burning. I believe it's a Nordic country that actually protects the right for people to burn their own flag in protest, but has a law against burning the flags of other countries. Seems fair to me! After all, it's the stifling of free speech that brought us here to America.

l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!

I'm new to genre. What are full names? I'll check it out - Dead head

welcome to the good stuff... Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam, George Jones (honorable mention to George Strait) and Alan Jackson. I'll add Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash.

+Mark Howard Thank you sir! I appreciate you taking the time. God bless!

For today's country music that is still traditional, I've recently discovered Sturgill Simpson, listening to it now. It's an interesting mix of classic country and rock, thanks to youtube autoplaying on me, I'm enjoying 'you can have the crown/some days', 'long white line', 'it ain't all flowers', 'living the dream', 'life of sin'. and if you like the women in country, the current Kacie Musgraves and Ashley Monroe are easy on the eyes and doing unique but still traditional country.

Yes we lost the biggest legends in country music 2016 and merle was on top of it.R.I.P merle.
