KLUNKET, Don't know if I sent message to you properly.But I wanted to thank you for your insight reguarding Glen Campbell's illness.It's so sad to watch.I wonder if there is any connection between creative minds and alzheimers.I've seen a few cases where it makes me wonder.

[KLUNKET]

@MrEmmaclaps - I work with dementia patients, and Glen is likely not progressing as fast as it seems. He does have ADVANCED dementia/ alzheimers, but that is because it has been progressing for probably about 7-10 years now. I know that he was only recently diagnosed, but he has had this for a long while. His wife said they started noticing cognitive issues all the way back to 2003. But- interviews like this may still be possible because these older memories are all he has left

[MrEmmaclaps]

Amazing to see how devestating his condition has progressed in such a short time.A little over a year later and this type of interview is probably not possible.What a shame.
