I Don't Want to Get into Why ...
... but I really am in the mood to hear some Glenn Campbell songs today
If I am still in this mood next time I have a chance to swing by the library, I think I know which CD I'll be checking out then ...
(Just a clarification: the mood is very definitely "Wichita Lineman" and very definitely not "By the Time I Get to Phoenix")

Did this headline spoil that song for you?
Unlike the critics, I thought Campbell did a great job in John Wayne's best movie, True Grit.
Campbell and Wayne delivered one of my all time favorite bits of dialogue from a western.
LeBoeuf: There's times I've drunk water from a muddy hoof print and been glad of it.
Cogburn: If I EVER meet one o' you Texas YAY-HOOS that AINT drunk water from a hoof print, I'll...I'll shake his hand or buy him a Dan'l Webster see-gar.

Fortunately, I'm not quite in this particular mood anymore. Anyway, the library didn't have the Glen Campbell CD available. Shall we start a discussion of whether the artist can be separated from his/her work, though?
I've never seen True Grit, but I reckon this exchange is something along the lines of one of those old "show me X, and I'll show you Y" comments as used to be favored in B.C. and similar comics? ...
... show me a Frenchman born between 1900-1930, and I'll show you a proud member of the French resistance?

I find it hard to make the separation though I can't help but to thrill to The Flight of the Valkyries.
I've never seen True Grit...
Although it drags a bit it's worth seeing, it's not a typical stylized Hollywood western at all. The acting is at once both stilted (in the sense of stiff) and spot on.
[T]he library didn't have the Glen Campbell CD available.
If ever again you're really jonesing you can try this.

That's why this is an appropriate site for having such a discussion (note my username), one must mention Richard "I'm not anti-Semitic, most of my best friends are Jewish" Wagner ... who, btw, was a jerk for reasons beyond his anti-Semitism, his slandering of Nietzsche, etc. ... although some of his behavior may have been not merely a matter of being an effete jerk but rather due to various health problems of his own.

File this one under you learn something new every day. It turns out they did not have helicopters in the nineteenth century and the title of that piece I was trying to refer to is "The Ride of the Valkyries."
