a parody of "Rhinestone Cowboy" by Glen Campbell
R.I.P. Alan Colmes, you were a good man in a bad place (Fox News Channel), no doubt you're in a better place now. This was my 2006 take on Alan's sad lot on "Hannity & Colmes", crafted out of one of the greatest songs of all time. Thank you Larry Weiss for gifting the world with "Rhinestone Cowboy" and thank you Glen Campbell for putting RC and so many other songs in our hearts and heads forever. Peace and love to you and yours.

"Gentle on My Mind"
Misheard Lyrics: My beard a roughning coal pile,
And a dirty hat pulled over 'cross my face Original Lyrics: My beard a rustling, cold towel,
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Karen Smith For years I thought the lyrics to these lines were as I misheard them. Then I looked up the lyrics to this song for unrelated reasons, and happened to notice that these two lines were different than I'd always assumed. Used to be, I was always thinking the coal pile was what mainly made the hat dirty. |
