Alternative Title: Merle Ronald Haggard
Merle Haggard, in full Merle Ronald Haggard, (born April 6, 1937, Oildale, California, U.S. died April 6, 2016, near Redding, California), American singer, guitarist, and songwriter, one of the most popular country music performers of the late 20th century, with nearly 40 number one country hits between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s.
Haggard’s parents moved from the Oklahoma Dust Bowl to the Bakersfield area of California, and he grew up in a converted boxcar. His father died when he was 9 years old, and, by the time he was 14, he was engaged in a life of petty crime and truancy, with frequent stays in juvenile facilities. His escapades eventually led to incarceration (1957–60) in the California State Prison at San Quentin. (Singles that reflect that experience include “Branded Man” [1967] and “Sing Me Back Home” [1968].)
Bartiromo Politics
Regarding “So, What’s Up With Bartiromo?” by Stephen Battaglio [Dec. 24]: This sloppy hit piece is sad but expected. The informed reader will deduce that it is actually an indictment of the L.A. Times non reporting and omissions in the Trump era. Along with the story of a Dominion employee being harassed in Section 1, it’s a great reveal of the bias in this once-great paper.
Since this political assassination is curiously in the Calendar section, I’ll refer readers to the Joey Ramone solo album “Don’t Worry About Me” and the great song “Maria Bartiromo.”
