There was an interview with country music legend Merle Haggard in yesterday’s Washington Post dead tree edition. The Hag turned 70 last April, and is still going strong.
The highlight of the interview, faithfully transcribed, about country radio:
Radio doesn’t want substance. If a song actually had an opinion, that’s the first thing they’d throw in the trash.
He has a new album: The Bluegrass Sessions. I think I’ll check it out, the chances of hearing any of the songs on radio being nil and all.

Not surprised Merle said it that way. He is one of the greats a true legend and you know the guy rocks-look at the musicians he gets to play with him.
