    I recall hearing a DJ relay a story about Haggard's mother. After achieving success she was asked "Aren't you proud of you son for his accomplishment?" Her response can only be classified as one of a true honest mother. She said "I have 3 children and I'm proud of them all".
    A true mom if ever there was one!

    I am glad that Merle’s mother lived long enough to see all the success that he had and the pardon that he received from Governor Reagan. Life in this cruel world is sweet - every once in awhile.

      everyone has done wrong, some more then others. But if you want true honest music, then you need to give a listen to "MR. MERLE HAGARD"!!. He did it all, "right and wrong, paid his dues, paid for his mistakes and left us with some of the "GREATEST COUNTRY MUSIC".....there is or ever will be. If you doubt that....just give a listen to any brand of music today....God has him now and he is safe and at peace.....his last song will break your heart......"I'm tired of it all......we love you Merle.

      Mr. Smith you said a mouth full , the likes of him are still running strong in his sons thank God .

    At 10 I waiting for my mom to come home from a 12 hour shift, to get my bday gift, then I realised that she had effd off out the country to start a new life on her own, left 5 kids with dad ,who took it all out on us all kicked out at 15 ,I got into drugs heroin path from early 90s till 5 yrs clean on father's day, I don't know country I played this just cos it came up,his story from what I gathered is a sad hard life that was turned into a good path, life ,music and his mum's in the front row ( to me I think he's luckier than most?) Took a wrong Rd in life,to life no parole by 21,pardoned,country great and mums in the front row 😢I'm jealous to be honest at 46 this had broken me,I had to get it together to write this❤so glad I played this and read comments ❤

    I have Merle's autograph on a picture, I bought it about 4 years ago at a peddler's mall, $15 or $20. I was looking at his hands picking his guitar in this video thinking I am so glad that I rescued it. As with many good men, we are all complex, we get caught up doing very bad things in life, not because we wanted to, it was just a perfect storm in our path of life.

    In meiner frühen Jugend in 1950er Jahren hörte ich jeden Tag mit Begeisterung nachmittags auf AFN Munich Country- Musik. Jetzt mit 83 Jahren habe ich Merle Haggard entdeckt. Dafür bin ich dankbar. Seine Stimme und die Geschichte in seinen Liedern rühren an meine Seele und ich muß oft weinen. Merle Haggard on my mind. Ruhe in Frieden!

    Maybe I’m just poor White trash from West Virginia but this video brought me to tears. Being an ex convict who turned 21 in prison (thank God I wasn’t doing life) this song pulls on some strings I didnt know we’re even able to make a sound anymore. Mama Tried. She really did. Also, rest in peace Johnnie Samuel Hayslip. We used to drive around those Appalachia hills sipping out of a bottle and screaming this song for all we were worth. I miss you Dad. Until we meet again.
