UMerle Haggard.(Ifoto: Merle Haggard.) UMerle Haggard wayengenalo ixesha le-bullshit.
Umthonyama waseCalifornia wayesele edlulile kakhulu xa wayejika i-20-kubandakanya iminyaka emibini kwi-Prison yase-San Quentin-, ngexesha atyikitya isivumelwano sakhe sokuqala kwi-1962 eneminyaka eyi-24, umculo kaHaggard thaca ngokulula, ngokucacileyo nangokuthe ngqo.
Yayiyinto yenyani-yenyani awayeyisebenzisile ngalo lonke ixesha lomsebenzi wakhe, kwanakumaxesha akhe okreqo.
UHaggard ubhubhe ngoLwesithathu ngomhla wokuzalwa kwakhe engama-79, esivela kwinyumoniya, ebangela ukuba kubekho izikhumbuzo kunye nokuvuselelwa kwesandla ngokuqiniswa komculo welizwe oqhubekayo ( into uHaggard ngokwakhe wayeyiqaphele kunyaka ophelileyo ).
Kuyinyani abayenzi 'em njengoMerle kwakhona, kodwa kunzima kakhulu kwabo bavusa ifa lakhe lobugcisa ukuba bafumane indawo.
Njengakwezinye ezininzi ephawulekayo ukusweleka komculo ngo-2016, nako oku kuphawula ukuphela kwexesha, okanye, mhlawumbi, ukuqala kokuphela kwexesha. Iinyani eziyinyani, ezingathandabuzekiyo-ezo zichaza amagcisa ngenkuthalo zenza umculo ngoku-ziyaqhubeka nokushenxisa le coil ifayo kwisiqwengana esothusayo esizinzileyo.
Ke, ngokunqumama ukulila kwaye ukhumbule, kufanelekile ukukhetha uHaggard njengohlobo lukaFrank Sinatra welizwe lesiNtu. Uyenzile, ukusuka kwinqaku lokuqala ukuya kwi-albhamu yokugqibela, indlela yakhe-engakhathaleli iimfuno zorhwebo, yintoni eyayikwifashoni, okanye yintoni enomdla komnye umntu ngaphandle kwakhe. UHaggard wayengoyena mntu wokuqala, abaphulaphuli ababalaseleyo, kwaye ngenxa yoko, ikhathalogu yakhe ethe kratya yafakwa izinto ezithandekayo kunye neendlela ezingaboniyo kwaye, ewe, ukungacimeki, ukubiza umnxeba okokugqibela.

Kukho indawo echumileyo, ukuba kungabhiyozelwa kangako, amaxesha, ngakumbi ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yee-1970 nasekuqaleni kweminyaka yee-1980, xa uHaggard wazula entlango, erekhoda ivangeli egcweleyo, oololiwe, ootishala kuElvis kunye neengoma ezingama-200 zokusela, nanjengoko uNashville walwa ngepolishi yelizwe kunye nelizwe elingekho mthethweni.
Ubungangamsha bakhe lelinye ilifa elothusayo: inani lilonke lama-38 alibetha ku-1, ukusukela kwelakhe lokuqala (ngo-1966 Ndingumbhaduli oLonesome ) ukuya kowokugqibela (ngo-1987 Ukudanyaza, ukuKhanya ngeLucky Star ).
UHaggard uqhubeka nokubhala— yakhe INew York Times obit ivala ngesicatshulwa esivela ngo-1999 LA ngeveki piece: ndisabhala iingoma ezimnandi. Ndifumene ingqokelela yezinto phezulu le endlini okungenzeka zingaze zirekhodwe.
Ngaloo ndlela, indlela kaHaggard ebomini kunye nobugcisa yayifana-ekuphela kwendlela yokuphuma. Qhubeka nje, qhubeka ubhale kwaye uqhubeke nokucula-ukhenketho ude ungabinako ngokwasemzimbeni (nto leyo uHaggard ayenza ngaphezulu okanye kancinci, ngesilayiti esipheleleyo semihla yokhenketho ecwangciselwe uninzi lwango-2016).
Yi-ethos eye yawela ekuthandeni, kwiminyaka yokubetha ngokukhawuleza, ukubonakala okuphezulu, udumo lweziyobisi eziphantsi. UHaggard wayethandwa kuba wayengekho nje kakuhle kwinto ayenzileyo, kodwa into awayenzayo yayithetha okuthile. Wayecula, ngokucacileyo nangokuzingca, ngendoda eqhelekileyo, yona uqobo lwayo olusengozini yokuphela komgangatho ophakathi.
Ungayiva kuwo onke amanqaku awakhe wawadlala: UMerle Haggard wayengenalo ixesha le-bullshit.
