ALS is a cruel mynde-f**ker.
I've always liked a lot of Glen's music from his '67-70 period.
Most of the ballads are cool in my book.

Glen played bass and sang all of Brian Wilson's vocal parts for four months
when he was a touring Beach Boy in 1965. Who else could do that back then?
R.I.P. to "Mr. 12-String Guitar". Gotta go spin his Guess I'm Dumb single:

Alzheimer's took my mum 3 days before it took Glen. She was 69 and had been diagnosed for 12 years. It's an utter cunt of an illness.
I like a lot of Glen's work but this, from his last album, is just too much for me.
So gut-bustingly moving...

I just wish that people like Glen Campbell could have become famous for what they were most distinguished by, which of course was his great artistry on lead guitar. In retrospect, it seems strange that the general public could not accept a "guitar hero" prior to Hendrix, and even Hendrix himself had to be converted to a vocalist to break through. Like most people, I grew up thinking Glen Campbell was just another bland, milquetoast pop-cum-country singer a la Eddy Arnold or something. It was only when I got older I learned about his "other" side, his earlier records, and his vast contributions to countless rock and pop records via the L.A. Studios. I think rock/pop music more suited his talents than country, but the lines between genres are always blurred anyway.
