Why would the Rolling Stone even have heard of Merle Haggard?

I had to live down “Okie From Muskogee” my entire 9 years in the USAF. As soon as someone saw my home of record they’d start up with that stupid song.

Liberal elites must hate his very guts.

For no other reason than that: Hurrah for Merle Haggard!

(I believe in “No Shit Day” too.)

I read that and I still can’t figure out what the heck he’s saying. It sounds like sitting next to a really old guy in a bar.

Merle Haggard is given a very favorable write up in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Sixties

He’s actually an Okie from Oildale.

I think that didn’t have the same ring.

I used to idolize Merle Haggard.

Over the last decade, I have come around to your view.

My moment of enlightenment was when Merle Haggard started making sleazy “how to get out of credit card debt” commercials. Boy was THAT a rude awakening from a guy I thought was an old school America First conservative.

Because they are culturally aware and have excellent taste in music? I doubt it.

He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old...

This article leans so far to the left you won’t have to turn the pages.
