I have several favorite Hag songs, but this is probably the one I like best:
We are poorer for the passing of the man from Bakersfield. And we don't seem to be headed in a good direction.
As Henley put it:
Well, it's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
Post, postmodern world
No authenticity, no sign of soul
The radio won't play George and Merle.¹
And that's a darn shame.

I saw Merle live a few times. My Dad had a drink with him at Bob Wills Days in Turkey, Texas.
I had a drink with him and George Jones at Billy Bob's when they bought the World's largest round of CC water back.
I don't think that counts as the same thing.
Good night sweet prince
