Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me

Tomorrow night (Sunday, June 28) CNN is having a special called Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me. It's about him having Alzheimer's and shows him going on his last concert tour I believe. It looks really interesting.

Thank you for that news! I love Glen Campbell (the artist), and in particular his early work. I even have a Pandora radio setting for GC.

They also said there will be limited commercial interruption, which will be nice.

Glen Campbell is one of the few country singers that I enjoy listening to. Hope he's comfortable right now.

I was happy to see this was going to be on tv vs video rental. I have heard it is very good.

I have always loved his singing and so sad when he was diagnosed with Alzheimers.....

Unfortunately I don't receive CNN.....I hope all of you enjoy the program....

I watched this on Sunday, I believe. It was pretty good. I wonder how he's doing now.

In the beginning I was thinking he was kind of a butthead, what with not taking the doctor's questions seriously and just saying stuff like (bad grammar ahead) 'I aint got no time to worry about that' and he wouldn't answer any of the questions. But, I guess the good thing is that the actual lab work gives them all the info they needed.

It looked like maybe he did one last show too many but he sure loved doing it and I agree with the others that it was probably one of the things that kept him going as long as he did, in terms of keeping his brain going.

I would definitely recommend this show. It was about 105-110 minutes long, but it keeps your interest for sure.

I'm watching it now. I'm about 3/4 of the way through.

It is nice to hear all the accolades from so many great artists like Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney.

Chickenbutt wants to know how Glen Cambell is doing now. On the celebrity page of my Sunday paper someone wrote in, asking if he'd be performing again. The article said that he was no longer able to communicate, so sadly...no. His wife was quoted as saying that he can still say "I love you."

I too, like his old stuff, but the new(est) CD "Ghosts on the Canvas" ??? is very good. It may not appeal to some folks who like traditional country; I think it's good in a wow-I-can't-believe-this-is GlenCampbell- sort of way.

The documentary was great! I love when musical artists show love for people of different genres and generations.
