re: the lives of old country singers vs. the new breed around today

quote:

OLD:


-Merle Haggard attempted to rob a bank in 1957 and was sent to San Quenton for 3 years.

-Johnny Paycheck was sentenced to 7 years in prison for shooting a man in the head with a .22 pistol

-Barry Sadler was wounded by a pungi stick in Nam, returned to the U.S. and shot a rival country singer in the head and killed him in a dispute over a girl. Sadler was eventually shot in the head and killed while sitting in a cab in Guatemala City.

This is oh so ironic since im sure you can find many a old white man who will tell you that rap is nothing but a bunch of thugs.
