Re: Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's
Glen was on Ellen a couple of days ago. He still sounds great. I noticed he hit a couple of sour notes during a guitar solo, but I doubt that had anything to do with his illness. Personally, I think he should keep on playing and performing for as long as he can manage, even just a few shows. The repetition would probably be good therapy.
I had to laugh when his wife was talking about his illness and said he had been experiencing short term memory loss since 2003. Glen got a look of panic on his face and yelled, "Where's my shorts?" Got a big laugh from the audience.
His illness is very bitter sweet to me. I've always been a fan of his singing and supurb guitar playing, and never missed an episode of the Glen Campbell show. Now I wish I'd have seen him in person. It's hard to watch the heros of our youth getting old!
