What a genius. I didn't know it at the time.

Stupid me.

Glen Campbell with Stone Temple Pilots, “Wichita Lineman”. Any version of GC’s WL has that hair standing on end moment starting with “I hear you...”. Even just thinking about it.

Watching Glen Campbell and Roy Clark on Hee-Haw on your grandparents’ Magnavox might color a youngster’s judgment.

Love it. Thx much. Wichita Lineman was my favorite when it came out because that summer I worked for the city (my tiny city at the time) as a flunky for a bunch of linemen. The linemen were as heroic and poetic as the song suggests.

They are all dead now, but I think of them when I listen to this song.

Just a bunch of ordinary guys thinking about the girls they loved and their future families.

Don’t feel lonesome, while some of use were thinking Glen was just another C&W artist, he was playing on many of the biggest hits with the Wrecking Crew and touring with the Beach Boys. No one knew.

Hee Haw had hot guitars and hot women both. I was a little young to fully understand it, but I knew I liked it!

“I didn’t know it at the time”

I think it’s because back then, musicians were far more talented than they are now, and we took it for granted because that’s just how it was.

GC had his own show back when musical-variety shows came and went for twenty years, sort of flavor of the month. My folks would put it on sometimes, and I never paid attention to it, and I’m sure I still wouldn’t like it, but he was something special here and there. If he hadn’t been, he would have come and gone in no time. Hee Haw was fun, a bunch of trashed out PB centerfolds, hayseed humor, and if we got it on in time, it was great, because it was opposite Lawrence Welk. My poor mother loved that show, her ingrate son and his dad preferred HH.

:^) btw, I’m not normally a Jimmy Webb fan, but WL should be carved on a mountain somewhere.

Whoo, that’s bittersweet to see. Used to open for him at Harrahs’s in Reno, we would play our show and then watch his. Incredible player. The sad part was seeing him so high on coke during the day. He’d play craps with $500 chips, losing his butt and just grinning with glassy eyes.
Johnny Paycheck was really bad too. His band was so mad at him over the coke he would come hang out with us during the day. He was a funny guy. He told me and my drummer one day:
“The road is a dangerous place man, you can die out here...or worse!”

One of my very favorite singers.

Alias - Wichita Lineman (Marshall) - Glen Campbell

Miami Vice - Galveston (Sonny/Caroline) - Glen Campbell
https://youtu.be/rqsVhbgr2q8

Callan - Time (Callan’s Hunter) - Glen Campbell - Callan was played by Edward Woodward before he was in Equalizer; dark spy show that almost seems like Equalizer was the follow on

GC had his own show back

The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour! I remember that. My father loved those variety shows. Jackie Gleason, Ed Sullivan, Andy Williams, Tom Jones, right up to and including Mac Davis (but NOT Sonny & Cher). Then it went sideways with the Captain and Tennille and The Brady Bunch Variety Hour.

Glen Campbell was on Johnny Carson’s late show one night. He played the meanest guitar solo I have/had ever heard to this day. He made all other guitarists of that time period look like rookies.
