[quote]According to several reports, Merle Haggard, one of the most respected and important voices in the country music world, has died. He was 79, and he passed at his home in Redding, CA. In a sad turn of events, today is actually Haggard’s birthday. The musician passed away due to double pneumonia, which he had apparently been battling for some time now.
