He may spend a few days in the pokey, but in listening to him on the Lovin bros cover album singing "When I stop dreaming" with him and Leslie Satcher, man he ain't lost a lick in his vocals.
I guess he was more of a pop country star in the late 60's and I enjoyed him, but to hear his still strong voice 35 years later is amazing. |

Campbell Pleads Guilty to Drunken Driving
PHOENIX (AP) -- Country singer Glen Campbell pleaded guilty Monday to extreme drunken driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
Under the plea agreement in Maricopa County Superior Court, Campbell faces 10 days in jail when he is formally sentenced June 14. He'll be eligible for work furlough after 48 hours and is expected to serve 75 hours of community service under the deal.
An aggravated assault charge was dropped.
Campbell was arrested in November near his Phoenix home after leaving the scene of a minor traffic accident. He was accused of kneeing a police officer after being taken into custody. The officer wasn't hurt.
Extreme drunken driving applies to a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 or higher. Police said breath tests on Campbell showed he had a 0.20 blood-alcohol level at the time of his arrest. The legal limit for Arizona drivers is 0.08.The 68-year-old singer has lived in Arizona for more than two decades. His hits include "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Galveston," "Gentle on My Mind" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix."

What is "extreme drunken driving?" Does that mean we was extremely drunk while driving or drunk while driving extremely? And if he left the scene, how do they know if he was extremely drunk? Did he have time to sober up?
Sorry, it just struck me as funny.
