The fight'n side of me...
A very sad day as Country music has lost a legend. I'm sure, like me most of you have spent many hours working in the garage listening to Merle over the years.

He was music icon for sure. One of a kind !! My heart felt thoughts go out to his family.

Re: The fight'n side of me...
I had a chance to see Merle live last November and glad I spent the money. He was at his best and it was a great show.

Re: The fight'n side of me...
I saw Merl in Augusta Me. about 40 years ago, I played many of his song when I had a band, and still do. Merl was a hard man to beat if you play county music. Walt

Re: The fight'n side of me...
Merle was one of the very best.
A legend in his own time and a mentor to many. He died on his birthday but his music will survive. |

Re: The fight'n side of me...
R.I.P. Mr. Haggard. One of the very best. Not like so called todays singers. Didn't need any side gimmicks. Just a man, his guitar & music. Not too many like that left.
Condolences to his family. I had a chance to purchase his 57 T-bird years back (80s). I always kick myself for not doing that. It was for sale @ a reasonable price too. |

Re: The fight'n side of me...
"Bakersfield" C&W legend. Never been a great fan of C&W but I like Merle Haggard and Johnny cash. I've got his Ramblin Fever LP from the late 70's. RIP the Hag.

Re: The fight'n side of me...
Not many of the old guys left. Waylon Jennings, Willy Nelson, Dr Ralph Stanley, David Allen Cole, Johnny Paycheck, and Kris Kristofson.

Re: The fight'n side of me...
Hi Everyone, I agree with y'all. The couple of times I saw Hags he put on a great show. He toured with Dylan a couple of years ago.

A real visionary too;

Re: The fight'n side of me...
Waylon could have been gone years before. I believe he lost the toss to be a passenger in the plane that Buddy Holly charted and that crashed on take off killing Ritchie Valens , The Big Bopper and Buddy himself - The Day the Music Died !

Naaaah..... it didn't die that day but it must have made Don Mclean a sh*t load of money! Been a lot of good stuff since but I agree with one of the earlier posters here that most of the music today is bollocks. GB

Re: The fight'n side of me...
One of the very best, a sad loss. He left us a damn good collection of songs, he will never be forgotten.
