GLEN CAMPBELL'S LAST TOUR DUE TO ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 08:36 PM PDT


Glen Campbell

Country music legend Glen Campbell, known for hits like Rhinestone Cowboy and Gentle On My Mind, lives in Malibu with his wife of 30 years... Kim.



Their home in the hills overlooking the Pacific is close to the singer's local golf course, where he plays every day. After almost 30 years of marriage, Campbell's fourth wife has been by her husband's side during much of his hugely successful career. She has also endured some of the darker days caused by his Alzheimer's disease.

The 75-year-old singer is making final preparations for a farewell tour to say goodbye to his fans and release an album of new songs. Sitting in their living room, Kim helps to fill in some the gaps of her husband's failing short-term memory.



"I haven't been marred with this thing at all," says Glen. "I accept that I got, what's it called?"

"Alzheimer's," says Kim Campbell. "Alzheimer's," Campbell repeats firmly. Full story on BBC News

We are so sorry to hear this about Glen... I loved him from the time I was in the 6th grade... He did have some addictions and wild girlfriends... But the world is slowly losing one of the most sparkling and talented musicians of all time. Our thoughts and prayers are with Glen and Kim...

IGGY POP AND THE STOOGES: THE DETROIT TAPES

Iggy and the Stooge's 1973 Rehearsal Tapes

All my friends that are big Iggy & The Stooges fans might like to know that The Detroit Tapes will be released on September 13, 2011. You can pre-order yours HERE

UK two CD collection containing the cream of Iggy and The Stooge's legendary 1973 rehearsal tapes. For the most part, the material stems from tapes that were recorded in preparation for a nationwide Iggy & the Stooges tour following the release of the David Bowie-produced Raw Power earlier that year.

Iggy Pop and guitarist James Williamson were spitting out memorable songs like machinegun bullets, so the band was basically rehearsing brand new songs; all prime material destined for a fourth Stooges album, one which unfortunately never came to be.

GIOVANNI GAMBINO: NEW REALITY SHOW "WISE MOVE"

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 08:24 AM PDT


Giovanni Gambino

Just got off the phone from chatting with Giovanni Gambino. We have a mutual friend here in Michigan and he hooked us up.

Giovanni came to the US when he was 11 years old (1985) with his father Francesco and mother Anna DiMaggio (distant relative of baseball legend Joe DiMaggio). Giovanni told me that the women in Italy keep their maiden names after they get married... Never knew that! His father Francesco Gambino went to prison for 30 years when Giovanni was just 13 years old and Gio was devastated ...



Giovanni has so much going on that I thought we should start with a new reality show Gio stars in called "Wise Move" Which as Gio says is like Entourage Meets the Sopranos!. This is reality tv at it's best. I am particularly excited about "Wise Move" because HBO took all my favorite shows off the air. Take a look at the trailer.... just so my readers know... it has adult content

The producers of "Wise Move" are shopping the show around to different networks but I think this show belongs on HBO...

"Wise Move" (R Rated trailer)




This a rough draft of the book cover....

Just a heads up... Gio has a book coming out in November called "Prince of Omerta". This is the fictional story of one of the most ruthless mob bosses in Sicily. Kind of like "The Godfather" on steroids! Stay tuned to RK for more news on Gio...

Gio has 2 screenplays in the works as well...

Mulberry to Rome... a comedy about present day mobsters going back in time to ancient Rome.

Mammalucco.... The story of a mob boss who goes to jail and has his son take over the family business... This is kind of like the movie "Birdcage" meets "Goodfellas"
