Limestone CowboySinga

LEFT: Singa The Cour­tesy Lion; RIGHT: Glenn Campbell

When I was a kid, I didn’t know what a rhine­stone was, but there was a song that kept play­ing on the radio that made me sing along, with much gusto, that I was a Lime­stone Cow­boy.

That, and that infer­nal Neil Dia­mond song that went “Song song blue every­body no-one, sung sung blue every­body no-one.”

So, for some related rea­son, it warms the cock­les of my heart to dis­cover that one of the two cam­paign songs for the National Cour­tesy Cam­paign (1979–2000) is Glenn Campbell’s “Try A Lit­tle Kindness”:

…And if you try a lit­tle kind­ness
Then you’ll over­look the blind­ness
Of narrow-minded peo­ple on the narrow-minded streets…

God­damn, LTA, what are you doing about these narrow-minded streets?!
