I grew up with a lot of country music playing around our house, and Merle Haggard was one of those. He passed away today, on his 79th birthday. Respect to the man.

Merle Haggard was a total badass, as well as being one of the greatest songwriters-not just country songwriters- ever. A true icon.

Merle wrote a song about an interracial relationship......in 1972! How's that for being ahead of your time?

This is so shocking. I didn't even hear it announced until I saw it here. This is a bad, bad year for losing so many greats.

It's so sad to see yet another icon taking their leave. RIP Merle.
