Merle Haggard files lawsuit against Green Train

He might be on the Peace Train and maybe even the Love Train, but country and western legend Merle Haggard is no longer on board the Green Train. Haggard donated twenty thousand dollars to the cause and had agreed to ride the Green Train, which seeks to raise awareness with a twenty-six state whistle-stop tour, but now says that there are are quite a few irregularities. According to the lawsuit, Green Train founder Robert Wolf misused funds and also mischaracterized the depth of Haggard's involvement in the organization. Haggard took particular with a mailing that went out to other figures in the music industry that "exaggerated his involvement in the organization and forged his signature," and is seeking compensatory damages, attorney fees, and a public apology. Wolf has yet to offer a public comment on the lawsuit. [MSNBC]
