Rocket talks about his trip to Santa Cruz last weekend and how the Santa Cruz school system is weird. There's also an update about last week's Speech and Debate showcase and Day of Silence. Day of Silence is a national student-led event organized by GLSEN to raise awareness about LGBT issues. Students around the country pledge their silence to symbolize the silencing the LGBT community suffers from harassment and discrimination. This year the DHS Gay-Straight Alliance had 87 participants. In other news the Fire Katehi protesters left her building this week but are by no means done. They released their exit statement which Rocket reads.

Tribute to Merle Haggard Apr 15th, 2016

Fri, 04/15/2016 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

This week, Listening Lyrics takes a look back at the musical contributions of Merle Haggard, one of country music's most gifted and prolific songwriters. During the 60s, 70s, and 80s, Haggard had an amazing streak of 26 number-one country singles. Haggard's early hits – including "The Fugitive," "Mama Tried," and "Okie From Muskogee" – comprise what Rolling Stone executive editor Jason Fine, in a 2009 profile of Haggard, called "the backbone of one of the greatest repertoires in all of American music, plain-spoken songs populated by the kinds of working people Haggard grew up with: farmers, hobos, convicts, widows, musicians and drunks." Quoting Bob Dylan, "Merle Haggard has always been as deep as it gets...totally himself. Herculean. He definitely transcends the country genre."
