This week was #MerleHaggard's birthday! "Haggard's early songs narrate the difficult circumstances of his own life: The son of Dust Bowl migrants from Oklahoma to the San Joaquin Valley, Haggard lost his father at age nine, hopped his first train a year later, and spent his teenage years in and out of juvenile institutions, military schools and, eventually, San Quentin. 'Johnny Cash once told me, "Hag, you're the guy people think I am,"' Haggard says. He spent nearly half of his first 21 years 'running away or behind bars,' he says. 'I would've become a lifetime criminal if music hadn't saved my ass.'... 'Merle Haggard has always been as deep as deep gets,' says Bob Dylan. 'Totally himself. Herculean. Even too big for Mount Rushmore. No superficiality about him whatsoever. He definitely transcends the country genre. If Merle had been around Sun Studio in Memphis in the Fifties, Sam Phillips would have turned him into a rock & roll star, one of the best. I'm sorta glad he didn't do it, though, because then he'd be on the oldies circuit singing his rock & roll hits instead of becoming the Merle Haggard we all know and love.'"
