6. Because of his brilliant musical career

I have to forgive GC his conservative leanings. Have been a fan since I was 6 years old and heard "Galveston" on the radio.

I was privileged to see him perform earlier this year on his "Goodbye" tour. He was absolutely brilliant. Yes, he needed a teleprompter for some lyrics, but he has lost no music in his hands. His guitar playing was superb. I enthusiastically suggest a listen to some of his early instrumental works, specifically The Astounding 12-String Guitar of Glen Campbell and The Big Bad Rock Guitar of Glenn Campbell.

He was also a member of the Wrecking Crew--hired guns who made a lot of artists sound a lot better musically than they might have been at the time!
