I don't know much about Glenn Campbell, but I always thought this was a pretty song.

1. That is a good song.

And Glenn Campbell put many a Rock-n-roller to shame with his hard partying ways. Him and Tanya Tucker together, LOOKOUT BELOW!

2. Jimmy Webb wrote some great songs.

Of which "Wichita Lineman" is but one.

3. yep

I think my other favorite by him is "If These Walls Could Speak"

always brings a tear to my eye.

4. Jimmy Webb wrote a lot of beautiful songs in the '60s....

"Wichita Lineman" among them.

ON EDIT: "And I need you more than want you/and I want you for all time..."

Sigh.

5. This song inspired my screenplay

which made it to the semi-finals of this years Scriptapalooza

6. Word is Glenn's a total dick though...

7. I saw a list somewhere of the biggest partiers in Rock-n-roll.

Somehow Motley Crue ended up #1. Ol Glen and Tanya Tucker would leave those squares in the dust. They were a Tasmanian Devil duo if there ever was one, leaving a path of destruction in their wake like the height of Led Zeppelin.

8. That's considerably better than

being a lineman for the Dolphins.
