Merle gives his take on Ted - check it out and comment
PALO CEDRO — Country singer Merle Haggard finally broke his silence about the moral failure of his younger cousin, Ted, and said he thinks Ted will turn out "just fine."
"Ted and I always loved each other, even though we’ve had our differences," said Merle in an exclusive interview from his country estate. "Our mothers raised us Haggards to bounce back."
Merle learned of his evangelical relative’s alleged homosexual affair on CNN and was "outright stunned."
"I felt like calling him and welcoming him into the outlaw club, but I didn’t think he’d appreciate that right then," he says.
Instead, Merle called Ted a few days later and offered unlimited moral and financial support. The country singer says his own stint in prison was "a positive turning point in my life."
