Excerpt from Glen Campbell article:

http://soundcheck.freedomblogging.co...-anaheim/9487/

As it was, Campbell went so far overboard to balance out the newness with his most beloved songs –- he’d run out of Webbs after about 40 minutes –- that he hadn’t really left many zingers for his finale. Instead, after 16 songs, he turned the microphone over to his daughter (and backing vocalist) Debbie Campbell, so she could sing the Wanda Jackson classic “Silver Threads and Golden Needles” and (why? why?!?) Fleetwood Mac’s “You Making Lovin’ Fun.”
I gave up on him at that point, and here’s why: Campbell had already done much worse. It was one thing that he needed cheat sheets on a music stand to get through his Petty and Travis and Foo covers. (Look closely: He’s doing in that picture above.) It’s another, more unattractive form of laziness altogether to apparently need to refer to them during songs he has sung at least 5,000 times.
