Care to leave a tribute to Merle Haggard, a country music legend, who died today at age 79?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) April 6th, 2016

Merle at his best, IMO – young, good looking, cocky and talented, Mama Tried.

Few people have left a bigger imprint on a music genre.

Thanks, Mr. Haggard.

He passed after living in the same area I do. He was loved in this community.

Oh, damn.

This has been a hard year for my husband. A very hard year.

He seemed to age into an elder statesman, @filmfann, and it suited him well.

I didn’t even realize your husband was into country, @Seek. A lot of legends (in a lot of fields) have taken the hit.

He’s not into Nashville Pop, but real music – Cash, the Hag, Hank Williams, definitely.
