Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Merle Haggard: (about Buck Owens, who died March 2005) Buck influenced a lot of people, from The Beatles to me. Buck and I were in a lot of battles over the years, always on the same side. Over the last few years, we'd become closer. He even flew up to Portland to see me when I opened for Dylan last year. We were outlaws together.
