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.

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.

“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.

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!”

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

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.

Stupid me: passed a chance to see Harry Chapin live in about 1976.

Glen Campbell was amazing, yes. Thanks for this post.
