By the time I get to Phoenix- They don't write 'em like that any more

[Swede]

I forgot what hits old Glen Campbell had.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. Jimmy Webb wrote that though if I recall

He wrote a lot of great songs for Campbell and Johnny Rivers.

[Bunny]

2. What about the Wichita Lineman?

What the hell was that song about? Sounds kinda like stalking, doesn't it?

[Swede]

3. Galveston was an anti-war ballad,

whose time may have come back.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. My dad was general manager of the utility in northern New York State

and he said that the real linemen hated this song, for inaccuracies and silliness. I rather liked it, especially the melody.:shrug:

[Gogi]

4. I've always liked 'Galveston' and 'Wichita Lineman'.

eom

[ForrestGump]

5. Always liked Glen Campbell's songs

Anyone up for my rendition of "By the Time I Find the Kleenex"?

[blondeatlast]

9. Um, in your case FG, sing away, but

I don't want to know why you need the Kleenex, okay?!

[ForrestGump]

11. Oh, shoot

I'd have to edit it so much, under those conditions, that it'd make even less sense. :-)


By the time I find the Kleenex
I'll be (something)
I'll (something) my (something) and (something) in the (something)
And I'll (something) when I (something) and then (something)
'Cos I've (something)'d that (something) so many times before...

[blondeatlast]

13. Do waht I do:

Substitute the words:

forking
sugar
sorority (think frat)
gourd
fudge

I have a six year old. The people at work think it's hilarious when I shout,"FORKING FUDGE, where did my file go?!"

[ForrestGump]

14. Sorority sugar!!!

Nope...sounds like some porn video. :D

I like the system, though, fudge it. Hey, it works! :loveya:

[blondeatlast]

17. Heh, heh.

:evilgrin:

[Abe Linkman]

10. How about "Help Me Make It Thru The Yard" and..

"She Thinks I Steal Cars"

Both by Pinkerton & Bowden

[ForrestGump]

12. "She Thinks I Steal Cars" pops into my mind at the most unlikely times

They're seriously cracked, those two.

Have you heard "Libyan On A Jet Plane"?

[NaMeaHou]

6. If you see your brother standing by the road

with a heavy load
from seeds he's sowed
If you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and say
You're going the wrong way

You've got to try a little kindness
try a little kindness
shine your light for everyone to see
and if you try a little kindness
then you'll overlook the blindness
of the narrow minded people
on the narrow minded street

(I think I got that right - haven't heard it in many years)

[Swede]

7. Do you think todays' youth might be on the verge of

an anti establishment rebellion. The music sure is angry,we have a war,the youth don't give a shit about elections.

[NaMeaHou]

8. I believed the seeds were sown in the late 90's

for a strong reaction against those in "power" or control financially, but it never materialized to the extent I had hoped. Maybe part of the reason is the fear of technology that identifies everyone seemingly instantly? Maybe not enough of a "boom" generation to carry enough weight? Maybe original boomers "conservatizing" and not willing to give up the access to music, news, etc. I don't know.

[Swede]

16. I lost in jeopardy
