Today I’m giving my tribute to Glen Campbell by talking about my favorite Glen Campbell song Country Boy. I would guess that there are not a lot of people that would say that Country Boy was there favorite Glen Campbell song. Since this song came out in 1975 I would say that there’s a lot of people that haven’t heard of this song.
There are two lines that I really like, the first is the lines that say You get a house in the hills, you’re paying everyone’s bills. I think that would be great to pay everyone’s bills, gee I think it would be great if I could pay my own bills. If you say that everyone can pay there own bills then I would guess that this is not your favorite Glen Campbell song. The other great lines in this song is: Country boy, you got your feet in L.A.
But your mind’s on Tennessee
Lookin’ back, I can remember the time
When I sang my songs for free I would had liked it better if he said he had his mind on Arkansas then Tennessee, but Arkansas doesn’t rhyme with free. Now the way I believe it suppose to work is when your just getting started you may sing for your friends and family or enter into talent shows and when you start becoming popular then you can have concerts in which people pay to watch you sing. The more popular you become the larger what they call venues that you play in. And then one day your like the Beatles and all of concerts are in stadiums with anywhere from 40,000 to maybe over 100,000 fans paying a lot per ticket to see you sing. Anyway that’s how I thought it was supposed to work but here lately I’ve found out that’s not true. One Indian casino had BJ Thomas to come give a concert and the price of a ticket? FREE You do know who BJ Thomas is remember he’s the guy that sung, Hey want you play another somebodies singing career is over song. The way it used to be at the end of your career you at least could go to Branson and still people paid at a little to see you. Next up to give a free concert at the Indian casino is Ronnie Milsap he’s the guy who sings it was almost like a song but it’s much too sad to write, I’ll let you do your own comment on this one. Do these guys sing with a can in front them where you can put a dollar in it? Just wondering. If they do everyone be sure to go see Ronnie and make sure to put a dollar in his can.
