I'll tell you what the public likes more than anything, it's the most rare commodity in the world - honesty.
Merle HaggardStaring at the world through the bottom of a glass, all I see is a man who's fading fast.
Merle HaggardThe thing that bothers me the most is the recklessness and greed of the local ranchers, who run too many cattle back here, choking with waste the creek that runs through my property. There's certain times of day that the cowboys like to send them turds down the river. Them f**kers piss me off. if you gotta mess up the ecology of the world in order to raise a bunch of cows, well eat somethin else. I'm not a fan of the cowboys.
