I got a great deal on this book used, it's very interesting, i would recommend it highly.
Realizing that Glen Campbell is now performing his "Goodbye Tour" , I quickly bought tickets to one of his upcoming shows. Reading this bio in advance was well-worth it.
All the recent interest regarding Glen led to the purchase of the book. The bad behavior of stars on the road appears universal.
The title of this autobiography takes it's title from Glen's 1975 number one hit, Rhinestone Cowboy. Many people consider "Rhinestone Cowboy" to be his comeback song.
First, a little chronology.This book was written in 1994.
This book was great. Glen does not beat around the bush he tells it all as it was!
Campbell's book blows the lid off the glamour and aura that surround celebrities, revealing how decadent, arrogant and immature he and many of his fellow stars became, thanks to abuse of cocaine and alcohol. Naturally, Campbell's children paid the highest price.
Glen Campbell has lived a very interesting life-some good and some bad. His autobiography does not hold back on either portion.
I was expecting a memoir like this one to be inspiring and uplifting, a story of recovery from gripping addictions, but all it seemed to be throughout was a selfish man who thinks he has all the answers to life, and a story that just isn't all that courageous or motivational.
This poor man has alzheimers. Thought I'd read his book before it gets the best of him...
