you can’t get much more reactionary than Merle Haggard’s “Fightin’ Side of Me” or “Okie From Muskogee.”
Okie from Muskogee was a joke song. As Haggard has said about the “we don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee” line… “Muskogee is the only place I don’t smoke it.” Haggard smokes dope all the time.
Weren’t they high when they wrote the song?
