One of the icons of country music - if not music in general - has passed away. Merle Haggard died this morning in his California home on what was his 79th birthday according to his manager.
As we reported earlier, Bob Dylan had mean things to say about many of his contemporaries in the music world. Dylans remarks occurred as he accepted a Person of the Year award from MusicCares - as part of Grammy week.
Apparently Bob Dylan is a mean, vengeful human being. At least that's the personality he chose to disclose at his acceptance speech as the MusiCares Person of the Year - at a ceremony on Friday evening. The event - a precursor to the Grammy's - was a hot ticket event as the reclusive Dylan usually shy's away from the press and the public. Maybe he should have on this night, too.
