And I need you more than want you,
And I want you for all time. – Jimmy Webb
Glenn Campbell died this week; in memorial, I’d like to present this video of my favorite of his songs, the haunting and enigmatic “Wichita Lineman”. The links above it were provided by Patrick Nonwhite (“fascism”), Radley Balko (“serve” and “peasants”), Jesse Walker (“78”), Mike Siegel (“hypnosis”), and Walter Olson (“permanent”).
