This is so sad. Anyone who hasn't yet heard his last CD needs to go find it. It is amazing. It SHOULD have won a Grammy.

Ah, I had just put his song Gentle on My Mind on my FR page a few days ago. Wow, 75! We don’t get long on this Earth, do we? Hope he can stay as well as he can for a while.
To: FlJoePa
He played here in Indy at the new Carmel Palladium a few weeks ago and it was bad, I mean Amy Winehouse bad.
So this is very plausible.
Now charging 80 bucks a ticket for this is a bit indefensible.
To: FlJoePa
I am glad he is going to die with his boots on. Might as well keep rockin' till you just can't do it anymore. Hope the new tour is successful.

Yeah, ticket prices for anything are sick. Cost me over $50 a ticket the last time I saw Iron Maiden. It’s criminal.

He was an awesome musician in his prime. And I never use that word.

Godspeed Glen.
I loved ‘Galveston’ and ‘Witcha Lineman’.

I read about that concert. As you stated, this would seem to be both an explanation for the performance, as well as a reason for the revelation being made public.

“But if he flubs a lyric or gets confused onstage, I wouldnt want people to think, ‘What’s the matter with him? Is he drunk?’”
It’s too bad, I always liked his work... However, I’ve had 40 years experience with Parkinson’s, and Parkinson’s doesn’t manifest it’s self with a confused mind. That’s simply not symptomatic of Parkinson’s. That’s not to say he doesn’t have Parkinson’s, it’s just that he has something else too.

Best wishes to Mr. Campbell for comfort in his last years. He’s been a very fine performer.

Woops, my bad... I read it as Parkinson’s where it was Alzheimers. Boy am I embarrassed.

Campbell comes from a huge and humble family in Arkansas. Good folks. He’s one of 12, as I recall, and grew up in poverty. His sister is a friend of mine and a sweet Christian lady, as was his mother, Carrie.

One of top studio guitarists in LA during the 1960s. That’s him, not Carl Wilson that you hear on Beach Boys records.
