I’m sorry, but the first thing that came to mind when I heard of Glen Campbell‘s passing was Al Pacino‘s rendering of “By The Time I Get to Phoenix” in Heat. I never really paid a lot of of attention to the guy, no offense, partly because I never liked Campbell’s right-leaning politics. He was a good singer, a skillful phraser. A Southwestern-style conservative going back to the ’70s, Campbell sang the national anthem at the 1980 Republican convention. But I’m truly sorry about anyone, rightie or leftie, having to deal with Al Z. Heimer. Condolences to Glen’s family, friends and fans. Yes, I always had a soft spot for “Wichita Lineman.”
