    Acutal people? They were all people who meant different things to different people. We do not get to decide who is important or not. Let those who knew this person discuss it, no one forcing you to comment.

    That's an awful thing to say just because you never heard of him.

    Obscure 1940s celebrity news of any kind is open to criticism.

    Maybe post it in the aulones and aulfellas forum from now on.

    This is why the mods move threads to more suited forums.

    Someone starts a thread on Jonny footballs leg injury and it gets moved to football.

    Because it's not widely important.

    Or maybe, when you see an RIP thread for someone you haven't heard of you could just, ya know, ignore it?

    Inform yourself.

    That song was a pisstake out of rednecks that ironically became a hit with rednecks.

    Merle was anything but a 'dry coward', what a crap thing to say.

    ? He said 'dry crowd' - the audience in the clip did look a bit tame :)

    I don't have many heroes.

    Merle was one.

    'Sing me back home' is one of my favourite songs of all time.

    RIP

    "And I've got swinging doors a jukebox and a barstool
    And my new home has got a flashing neon sign
    Stop by and see me anytime you want to
    Cause I'm always here at home til closing time"

    So sorry to hear of Mr Merle Haggards death. He was a true legend of music. May he Rest In Peace.

    The song was a spoof not a satire. I heard an interview with him where he said that he was opposed to anti-war protestors during the Vietnam War.

    Anyhoo, I apologise if anyone thinks my post was in bad taste, it was an attempt at humour.
