Damn.

"Gentle on My Mind" is one of the greatest country and western songs ever.

Local news headline here:

"Glen Campbell dead at 81...best known for 'Rhinestone Cowgirl' song."

Wtf?

Really bro ? One of the most respected players, session men and songwriters of his era, deserves a far more respectful send off than that douchnozzle thread title.

Best song ever written IMO, John Hartford wrote it and made $$$ off of it, him and Glenn were the best of friends and a great team.

It's terrible to lose Merle and Glenn almost within a year.

Also, op is a tryhard fgt for the terribly poor thread title.

Dang.

Yeah he had Alzheimer's I think and really wasn't heard from lately. Now dead. So it must have progressed quickly.

Rhinestone Cowboy was huge but to my young ear it was all I ever knew him for. Great song in its own right but became cliche and dated. Much of his other stuff was better. Find yourself hearing it and think "damn, that's Glenn Campbell?"

He retired from public appearances within the last few years. Probably a good thing he passed this quickly. Alzheimer's is terrible.
