Merle Haggard on Watching Johnny Cash Perform in Prison 

Thank you Dan, Merle.. the pleasure was all ours. Thanks for sharing ~!!~

Merle didn't have much of a formal education, but he was a pretty sharp man.

Ironically enough, when Merle passed away, I was in jail serving the minimum (10 days) for a DUI conviction. I was more than double the legal limit, and I remember the judge telling me that the law required him to impose the sentence. The Hagg going to his reward while I was behind bars put alot of things into perspective. I've always loved his performances and songwriting--but that experience will forever be with me because of Merle's passing...

"The Real Deal", thxs for sharing...

I started listening to Merle haggard in the first grade, and later in my life, I was able to attend 7 of his concerts in Tucson az and in Sierra Vista az, . He was a big part of my lifestyle and still remains that way now.

Yep, original,honest,,the real deal. Respect! You can see the deep discernment in his gaze, almost like it penetrates right through you. The real deal!

Got to hang out with him 20 something year's ago , one of the most down to earth people ..... miss you

Merle the pearl

Merle is an inspiration to all convicts that there is light at the end of the tunnel

Mr.Willy Nelson and Merle were best. Friends.I am like ya,ll

But it wasn't the best country and Western song. They didn't mention mama,trucks, trains, getting drunk, or prison...

i am glad that merle knows that the america justice system is corrupt, but i wish he had spoke out about it more

Merle is the shhiii---------
