It's really sad to see Merle change like that! At least we still have The Charlie Daniels Band!

In "America First", Merle Haggard - Mister "Okie From Muskogee" and "Fightin' Side of Me" himself, sings:

"The men in position are backing away,

Our Freedom is stuck in Reverse!

Let's get out of Iraq,

and get back on the track,

and let's re-build America first!"

And in "That's The News", Haggard sings:

"The politicians do all the talking,

while the soldiers pay the dues.

Suddenly ' The War Is Over ',

That's the news."

[An allusion to "Mission: Accomplished" perhaps?]

Interesting to hear anti-war lines coming from the pen - and mouth -

of a man once so opposed to war protesters.

The times, they are a-changin'!

George Jones is still going strong. I think he is the longest continuously performing act in all forms of popular music. He has been making hits since the 50's, and still releases new songs. I think the second longest running musical act (of all music types) is the Rolling Stones. Possibly the longest running musical act of all time was (is?) blues artist John Lee Hooker. For every half century act, there are dozens of one hit wonders.

We also have George Jones, and Johnny Cash in our Hearts and minds.

As Buck Owens in the corn field would say, " Bells Tennessee Population 2,171 Salute!"..........

Him and Roy Clark kicking some ass on Hee Haw!

This is a sad time for American Music. Of that there is no doubt.

Thank God we still have Merle Haggard [check out "That's The News"].
