It occurred to me this evening, as I was singing Rhinestone Cowboy while doing the dishes, that it is probably the song that I've liked for the longest amount of time. My musical tastes, of course, have changed over time (oooh, did I actually once know the lyrics to not one but two REO Speedwagon songs?), and Glen Campbell would certainly not make it onto my list of "the five CDs I'd want with me were I stranded on a remote island," or even "the 62 CDs I'd want with me were I stranded on a remote island," but I really liked that song as a young kid, and I still like it.
And I'm not the least bit ashamed to say so.
Funny thing is, I barely know any of the lyrics, except the chorus. I should learn them.
If I ever make a feature-length film, the odds of which happening seem fairly remote, you can bet your money that "Rhinestone Cowboy" somehow makes it into the soundtrack.
