Meanwhile, Sturgill Simpson's new album is due out on 4/15. The beat goes on as they say. Haggard was a legend, glad I got to see him a couple of times.

Facebook has been filled with tears, prayers and heart felt eulogies from people who probably didn't even know he was still alive.

He did have a really nice cosmetics line though.

My favorite. I have all his music and listen to it regularly. Saw him perform in mid-sixties before he hit it big

Believe it or not, the Hag was well liked in the black community (well, my generation and my parents'). George Wallace asked the Hag to endorse him back in the day and Merle told him to touch himself. Then the Hag put "Irma Jackson" out.

and I'm going to stop right here before I break down...Here's to a good man!

Probably one of the best "mid-life crisis" songs ever performed. "Footlights"

When I got my drivers license, mom took me to Maloney's (old big box store for you young'uns) and bought me a Kraco 8 track player and a Merle Haggard tape, Okie from Muskogee. Mom was great, so was Merle.

We must be on age. I had a Kraco player in my old '69 Grand Prix!
