Merle Haggard Explores Green Energy
http://www.happynews.com/news/292007/merle-haggard-explores-green-energy.htm

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.

Merle Haggard is burnishing his rebel image with talk of setting up an alternative energy business in his oil-rich hometown.

The 69-year-old country music legend said he's considering buying a second home near his native Oildale and founding a ''sensible'' green energy project to help the United States kick its fossil-fuel habit, the Bakersfield Californian reported.

The project with local resident and actor Charlie Napier could also feature a museum and live music venue.

The Grammy Award-winning artist is best known for such songs as ''Okie from Muskogee,'' ''Pancho and Lefty'' and ''I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink.'' In the song ''Kern River,'' he sings, ''I grew up in an oil town, but my gusher never came in.''
