Haggard is also getting attention for a song he's not even released -- "Hillary," an ode to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in which he declares, that "This country needs to be honest/This country needs to be large/Something like a big switch of gender/Let's put a woman in charge."

Merle better be careful, the freepers ain't gonna like this. It's gonna be tough to "Dixie Chick" him though, he is a little to big for them to successfully boycott. Oh wait they couldn't even take the Dixie Chicks down. They tried but they couldn't do it.

Merle's fan base has to be mostly over 40 years of age. This will divide some of that base down party lines. The really hardcore will either glorify Merle beyond their previous level of adoration or they will suddenly hate him and throw away their Merle collections, including Mama Tried and Workin' Man Blues. This will create some new, younger fans for him and capitalize on the Dixie Chick's connection. I liked him before, especially for Pancho and Lefty, and I like him just as much now, especially for Pancho and Lefty.

It seems to me that Merle Haggard has so much respect and being a legend that people just dont get mad at him--Im one of those. Merle has earned that respect. When Merle speaks people listen. Right on to the greatest country singer in history.Merle has always been right about the system and politics.If Merle says Hillary is the person then thats good enough for me.Hillary and Obama would be a dream ticket. It would be a landslide. Thanks Merle for your great song writing talent.

Merle has some gret music but he is pretty much a brain dead alcoholic. Its really very sad. He sent a friend of mine to get him a 12 pac when he was in a recording studio a couple of years ago. He hasnt gotten the fact that Hill backs the war in Iraq. He should have said lets put a black man in charge

Guitar guy you should get your facts right- Merle will be 70 years of age april 6- I bet he has already out lived you-And whats wrong with a black man in charge? George Bush is a disgrace-He and Cheyney should be charged for war crimes- And you said Merle was brain dead? What have you done with your life? Merle has 40 years out there and is more popular than ever- You are probably one of those brain washed zombies that loves Fox news- A bunch of cold hearted- greedy-evil people.Conservatives suck- Mission accomplished lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

And guitrman i have something else to add-You said your friend went to get Merle a 12 Pack? Your friend should had Merle to give him the pack it came in with Merles authograph on it- Your friend should have counted it a blessing to go get Merle Haggard a 12 pack- Everyone dont get that privlege in life- Imagine going to get a 12 pack for the greatest country singer that ever lived-Your friend must have not been thinking.Yes Merle said lets put woman in charge, well maybe thats what we need-Im sick of these old ass men running the system. Especially these conservative cold hearted bastards who rob everything thats not nailed down- The REpublicans have broke the bank and took off with all the money- They are nothing but a bunch of cold hearted criminals--Stay the course lol lol lol lol lol lol

I'd bet you liberals didn't like Merle before he wrote the Hill song. And I bet you didn't think he was the best all time country music singer either. Hell, We all know you don't like redneck music.

Well JakeRather, I hate to disappoint you but you are dead wrong. Being a country fan does not make you a conservative. As a matter of fact I can tell you that the country music establishment was not endorsing the GOP garbage until the Bushes decided to Cash in on it a few years ago and claimed to be fans. I have been a REAL fan of country including Haggard for decades. Any real fan of the man and of country knows that there is a tradition against political corruption but the media and corp controled radio has altered it. I play in a band and have sung Haggard songs. I know his music by heart. The real disgrace is that many new commers to Country forget that it was never the Bush prentenders that country fans revered-- It was Jimmy Carter. Hell Willie Nelson smoke a joint on the roof of the WH with his brother. Unlike the Bushes who go for photo ops, Carter really has ties us. There are several libs who love country but are still smart enough to see through the BS.
