Hard pass. Merle morphed into a POS liberal puke.
Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937 – April 6, 2016)
“I’ve got to be honest,” he [Merle Haggard] says. “I met President Obama and he was a nice fellow, but I’m not going to vote for him, and I’m not going to vote for Romney. So, that leaves me without many options. I don’t see much that I like in either of them. It’s a tough world, and I don’t think either of them is capable of representing this country right now.”

“some were stunned last year [2015?] at a concert when Haggard sang his latest song, “Hillary.” It was about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and how “changes need to be large / Something like a big switch of gender / Let’s put a woman in charge.”

You couldn’t resist being a jerk about a dead person. Not impressive. Most people don’t let politics make all their decisions about others.
My Mom loved him until she went to his concert and asked him for his autograph and he hit on her. She loathed him after that. I don’t think she ever listened to him again.
