Mike, this is one for the time capsule.

[Mike Joyce]

Isn't it amazing how many times these movie critics seem to be oblivious of Glen's history. I suppose its a good thing if people are exploring Glen's past due to the film. I hope this will give new and younger fans something to aspire to in relation to listening to talented artists from a bygone age.Thank goodness for YT as this is the time capsule of a vast amount of great musical performances by artists no longer with us or not played on the radio as often as they used to be.

In this article:

“Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me” made me ashamed to only know the titular country singer as the guy behind “Rhinestone Cowboy.” Because:

>> He recorded with Frank Sinatra, Elvis and the Beach Boys

>> After Campbell performed at the 2012 Grammys, where he received a Lifetime Achievement Award, Paul McCartney went backstage to tell the artist how much he loved him

>> Campbell has the respect and admiration of Bruce Springsteen, the Edge, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith and many more

>> He hosted a TV show (“The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour”) for which Steve Martin was a writer"

Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me is a tough movie. In 2011, the legendary guitarist and singer was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease just as he was releasing his 61st album, the presciently named Ghost on the Canvas. Although Campbell, now 78, had already begun experiencing cognitive loss and disorientation, his musical chops and muscle memory were still remarkably vivid. Along with his wife, Kim, and their three children, Campbell decided to tour for the record, an amazing 150-show run that ended in 2012 when he was no longer able to perform.

James Keach captures Glen Campbell's final tour, as the music legend struggled with the effects of Alzheimer's disease. It's tragic, but courageous.
