This Week in TGIF: Glen Campbell

AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2012
FRI 31 / SAT 01 / SUN 02

As Alzheimer’s sets in, country music legend Glen Campbell bids farewell with a sense of gratitude

There’s no gentle way to put it: Glen Campbell has Alzheimer’s. Short-term memory loss will gradually become total. The disease, AD for short, is now and for the foreseeable future, incurable, irreversible and terminal. It’s one hell of way to spend your final years, but Campbell is facing the rest of his life with the faith that has carried him through good times and bad.
