Well, I've be.. I guess I do get my news from the internet. Pretty darn weird that I am starting to see multitudes of people I know of die. I was reading a book about Rich Burton and Liz today. I actually made a point to watch Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf many years ago. Seemed like a big deal of a t.v. show. Very dramatic and all. I never saw Lassie or Blue Velvet and I sure as heck never saw any big time plays with Burton. Liz just died a year ago or so(how long now?). It's proof that women are tougher than men, he did 3 bottles of vodka a day and she wasn't far behind. That's being tough. She way outlived him.
That is about as far as I go back with fifties stars. I remember Sinatra and DeanO and Sammy Davis jr. Non of that kind of singing was my thing, but I remember them. Hell, I never liked Glen Campbell all that much(my folks liked him. I was Beatles and Doors). Now half the Beatles are dead and I'm watching McCartney. As tough as he is, I'm not sure he won't outlive me.

In his day, (and mine!) Glen was a talent that entertained folks like few had ever done it. Regards, Clark
