      KERN RIVER. My all-time favorite, because I spent some of my childhood playing on the rocks next to that dangerous river. It's amazing I survived.

    This song was also written before Clinton lied to us, and said to us on TV "I never had sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." LOL. I love the live version he sang of this song years later, where he sang the lyrics "I wish a Ford and a Chevy would still last 10 years, like a Dodge". LOL. Thanks for giving love to Merle Haggard, one of the greatest country artists ever! ❤👍🙂

      I lived in Far North Ca (Shasta Co) for maybe 10 of Merles 40 years there. My own smaller acreage was maybe just 5-7 miles from Merle's real nice place in Palo Cedro. I came home from being on the road one day and as I got out of my truck at a McDonald's there, a young fella ran up to me and said, "have you heard?, did you hear?" "What, I said?" Merle just died, he's dead. My heart fell to my feet. Tears choked my throat. As God is my witness I did not know if I could even make it back to my truck, much less to the Mac. It took me MANY days to function after that. We loved this man so damn much. He is the one who personally pulled me out of the Hippy shit thinking in the late '60s with "Okie from Muskogee" and "Fightin' side of me". May God be blessing you now Merle. Far North California, always and forever, Merle Haggard country.....

    Thank you so much for featuring this incredibly talented man. “Mighty Merle” was to many, (me included), one of the greatest singer , songwriters in American Country Music History. I can tell that you see and appreciate his talent too.
    Here’s a link to an incredible live performance where Merle’s singing and guitar playing are spectacular in his 1983 hit called, “What Am I Gonna Do, With The Rest Of My Life”. Maybe you’d find it worth reviewing.

    I here everybody saying the environment is dying. Well like Merle said we need things that last. We also need to by things that can be repaired and then instead of throwing everything out causing problems with the environment try repairing them. It's the throw away society that's ruining the environment. If it breaks down, replace it. When I was young things were repaired if they could be. It was nothing to see someone in their driveway with the hood up on their vehicle making repairs. If it was something that they couldn't repair themselves then it went to the shop to be repaired. And a good deal of why things have to be thrown out and replaced nowadays is because the manufacturers realized that after they sold something to someone it would be a long to if ever before that person had to buy a new one. So in order to make more money they started making things in such a way that they had to be replaced because they could not be repaired. I often see comments on here that say money is the root of all evil. The saying is actually the love of money is the root of all evil. In other words, no matter how much money you have, you love it so much, that you would be willing to cause harm to everyone and everything around you just to get more money. You can never have enough.
