Haggard on Leno

Country music giant Merle Haggard was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, singing the title cut from his latest album, I Am What I Am. (Javier Bardem was on, too.) The 73 year old recent Kennedy Center honoree was every bit as dignified, soulful and crusty as you would expect. "I believe Jesus is God," he sang. "And a pig is just ham." That rhymes with both "I am what I am," and "I do what I do, 'cause I do give a damn."
