Musicians and music fans alike are all still in mourning of Merle Haggard, a country singer and guitarist frequently hailed by many as one of the greatest songwriters in the business. Keith Richards is the latest in a line of people to write tributes to Haggard for Rolling Stone. He writes, "Merle had a troubled past, but he was open about it. His message was, "Stuff happens, but you just have to be your own man, and have something to say." You can't put a good man down. It's sad to lose someone like that. I always expected we'd play again, but that was the only time, unfortunately. It's another goodbye to another good friend."
