6. And now a message from Merle . . . .

. . . . "America has sure gone to some sort of a police state in the last 10 years,'' says Haggard, who is at the Flynn Theatre in Burlington, Vt., tomorrow and Lowell Memorial Auditorium on Sunday.

He hasn't played in New England since 1990, mainly because the region used to serve as a connecting stop for his tours of Canada, which he has cut out temporarily. He says he's sick of the US ''zero tolerance'' laws, which make reentering the States an indignity.

''If they find a seed of marijuana in your car or bus, they'll run it all over the news,'' says Haggard, speaking from his home in northern California. ''I've got 30 people working for me. There is liable to be a seed of marijuana, so it makes it very uninviting to go into Canada, knowing that the United States is going to harass you coming back.

'They snatched some buses from people I won't name, and buses are not cheap,'' he adds, referring to the US customs officials. ''It costs us seven or eight years of our lives to pay for these buses, and they just take 'em. Like I say, you can't personally shake people down that work for you. I'm not going to do that. You don't know who's doing what and who isn't, but come on and this `zero tolerance' thing they've got going is really amazing. They've got private enterprise building prisons now. It's scary. It's overkill.''

Maybe Haggard could do a solo acoustic ''unplugged'' tour instead.

''That's not a bad idea. Yeah, they won't have nothin' to search,'' snaps Haggard, a grizzled 61-year-old (alias ''The Hag'') who is loaded with strong opinions and enjoys being cast as a proverbial outsider . . . ."
