Merle Haggard kinda likes Hillary
New York Post [Page Six] - March 21, 2007
Hold The Mud
COUNTRY music legend Merle Haggard may be courting controversy for
supporting Hillary Clinton with his song “Hillary.” But he’s not
ready to commit to voting for her. “I don’t know. It depends on if
she holds her mud between now and the time to vote,” Haggard told The
Post’s Billy Heller before pulling into town for tomorrow’s Radio
City “Last of the Breed” show with Willie Nelson and Ray Price.
Pressed to translate, he laughed, “Lemme put it another way: If she
don’t screw up.” But Haggard added, “I gotta stay neutral. You don’t
wanna piss off half your audience just because you like somebody.”
