I take it that you're a Glen Campbell fan. Me too -- of the music. "Wichita Lineman" and "Rhinestone Cowboy" represent milestones in country/western music of the late 1960s/early 1970s. But I wonder about the article calling him a "75-year-old rocker." I would question any writer that characterized Campbell as a "rocker."

As a thorough-going fan of John Wayne, I can't help hating what Campbell did to an otherwise well-produced film called "True Grit." Holy cow! Kim Darby was described as an "unknown," but Campbell should have been described as "unable to act." I was almost happy when the bad guy clopped him on the head toward the end of the film. As Rooster put it, "Damned Texican... he saved my life twice today. Once after he was dead." Trouble is, the Texican should have died about five minutes before the film started.

I pray, not wish because I have a God not a Genie.

Yeah I'm a Glen fan, but never listened to country, but he was one of the early crossover artists, which is probably why he used the rocker moniker.
