It was back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis Before the Vietnam war came along Before The Beatles and 'Yesterday' When a man could still work, still would The best of the free life behind us now And are the good times really over for good? Are we rolling down hill Like a snowball headed for Hell? With no kind of chance For the Flag or the Liberty Bell |

I've been listening to Merle Haggard all day. This just completes it.

When speaking or singing about politics, your standard artist is going to pick sides, regardless of the singer's mostly peaceful intentions. In 2008, Haggard famously supported Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's failed run for the White House with the song "Hillary." This time around, however, Haggard is singing a different tune by not singing one at all.
"I've got to be honest," he says. "I met President Obama and he was a nice fellow, but I'm not going to vote for him, and I'm not going to vote for Romney. So, that leaves me without many options. I don't see much that I like in either of them. It's a tough world and I don't think either of them is capable of representing this country right now." |

Thank goodness...I can accept most of that (except the initial support for the cunt). |
