People don't run out of dreams, People just run out of time
Extremely sad to hear this, especially as I was just raving in the Cass County survivor thread about how much I enjoyed his appearance on The Cost of Living. It makes it even more special that Don sang with him on the album.
Couldn't agree more with your description of him as a true country legend. RIP Merle.
Sad about this. R.I.P. Merle Haggard.
It's all in your smile that brings
All of the special things about you
Oh wow. I'm kinda not shocked with his death since he was sick for a while, but I thought he was going to pull through.
I loved his songs Mama Tried, Workin' Man Blues and Okie from Muskogee. A great singer who's still making great music and still touring until his death.
I'm glad he got to sing with Don. I do like The Cost Of Living.
RIP Merle.
RIP Merle. Heard this in the car and on his birthday too. Another legend gone this year.

This is so sad. May he RIP.
Very sad. I'm not much on classic country but you have to give credit where its due - he was a legend and a great.
RIP.
He and Willie Nelson put out a big hit of an album last year.
Knew Nelson had his own health issues and recently had to cancel several tour dates. Never thought Haggard would be gone so soon. RIP
All carrot, no stick.

R.I.P Merle - a true country legend
Don said last year that Merle couldn't make Austin City Limits cos he was on holiday in Hawaii with Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson - I hope they had a ball
This year is really clearing out the music industry
...Well it sure makes you wonder the things that some people will say. They can see black and white but they don't seem to notice the grey...
