Merle Haggard
, who was thrown into San Quentin Prison
when he was 19, has been keeping up with Lindsay’s prison and rehab news and says he’s concerned about her future. His stay behind bars sobered Merle up and he’s hopeful it does the same for her. “I feel sorry for her because she’s such a lovely creature and such a talented person, and she’s also a spoiled brat,” he told Vanity Fair. Lindsay was sentenced to 90 days for a probation violation, but instead of serving the full term, she’s been ordered to go immediately into rehab after her release from jail. “I really do feel sorry for her,” Merle said. “She’s going to have to straighten out her life, otherwise she’ll be dead by the time she’s 30. That’s the bottom line.” Merle is also familiar with withdrawal. He had surgery for lung cancer in November 2008, and in the process he gave up his daily habit of smoking pot. “I quit but I never got over it,” he admitted. “Anybody who says it’s not habit-forming is a damn liar.”
