Vintage Merle Haggard "For President" T-Shirt Outerwear when his helicopter crashed onBy 1991, Merle Haggard, one of country's best and most important songwriters, had written and recorded 47 albums. In 1991, Merle Haggard, the guitarist who started his music career after being released from San Quentin State Prison in 1960, was only 54 years old. That's a lot of music in a relatively short amount of time. It's no wonder some people love and respect Merle more than most, maybe even so much that they'd like him to run for president.
