Last evening I watched a documentary on Glenn Campbell. What a great, but somewhat depressing, show. When diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he committed to a 15 show tour, which evolved into 150 shows over a couple of years.
He was a wonderful performer.
Watching the video of one of his performances, he couldn't remember the lyrics of the tunes, so he used a teleprompter. When the teleprompter said "Glenn, do a long riff", he proceeded to play the guitar in a way and at a speed that few guitar players could match.
I've subsequently learned that Glenn was committed full time to an Alzheimer's, facility.
Some sicko recently tried to spread the rumor that he'd passed away, but it was subsequently denied by the family.
