A few thoughts....about an American Icon who passed away on his 79th Birthday.
If you play a country song backwards;
The guy gets his truck and his girl back, his dog comes back to life and he makes amends with the cowboy he got into a bar fight with....
Merle attended a Johnny Cash concert in San Quentin while he was doing time in San Quentin!
He played and sang both kinds of American music, Country and Western!
Buy old Merle vinyl $4 a piece - play it on the record player in your cabin.
He was to play with Willie Nelson, New Riders Purple Sage and The Grateful Dead Sept 78 - couldn't make the concert, detained in a country jail somewares.....
(country meets rock and roll)
When our country is being torn apart this election year, we remember he sang "The Fightin Side of Me",
If you don't love it, leave it.
1 - million hits on google search for "move to Canada".
1968 all over again...
He cut an album last year with Willie, Django and Jimmie, one cut, "It's all going to Pot". Feels a little like that...
Thank you Merle for being Merle....
