Falling asleep last night I turned on old Art Bell and it turned out to be Art interviewing Merle Haggard. It was pretty fun…talking about Vegas in the old days, Merle’s teenage years and prison stuff. I’d never heard it before. I’m going to track it down and listen to the rest tonight.
Merle was interesting, he normalized a lot of behaviors and choices…I bet that guy has some insane stories. Crazy life. He says near the beginning “I’ve always had trouble with money. I never could keep ahold of it”.
