I woke up happy to learn that honky tonk hero Merle Haggard — country music's greatest living singer, songwriter and guitar badasss — is recovering from successful lung surgery. Here's the press release:

MERLE HAGGARD arrived home five days after having lung surgery in a Bakersfield hospital last Monday morning. It was discovered during a previous biopsy that he had non-small cell lung cancer, which has a far better cure rate than the small (oat) cell cancer. At this time, tests show that they were able to eliminate the affected tissue when they removed the upper lobe of his right lung. Upon waking up after the surgery, Hag opened his eyes, yodeled and smiled. Haggard’s post-operation progress was so rapid and successful he was discharged on Saturday night.

“Due to the surgeon, Dr. Peck, the Tylenol pushers on the fourth floor of the Memorial Hospital, and most of all, my wife Theresa, I’m feeling good…better and better each day,” says Haggard. “If not for the love and wisdom of my wife, I might not be around today.”

Haggard adds, “I’d sure like to know who controls the largest shares of Tylenol. God forbid it be the oil companies!”

Mr. Haggard and his family are respectfully asking for privacy at this time.

Your prayers and good thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Here's an interview I did with Hag back in 2002.

Very good post. Made me realize I was totally wrong about this issue. I figure that one learns something new everyday. Mrs Right learned her lesson! Nice, informative website by the way.
