BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Merle Haggard played the Fox Theatre in Bakersfield Feb. 7 and since has been playing concerts extensively in the Pacific Northwest, where he's sung a song you won't find on any CD.The song is called "Hillary" and talks about how Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton should be elected president.While it's apparently not an endorsement, it is causing a stir online, where people have been posting their responses on message boards.
Some call it a clever parody; others like the lyrics and endorsement. Others, though, don't like the song or more specifically the reference to Clinton becoming president.Clinton's presidential campaign did not return ABC 23's phone calls and e-mails Friday. Haggard told a newspaper, though, that Clinton's people contacted his people about the song.
