Glen Campbell Quotes

Roger Miller opened a lot of people's eyes to the possibilities of country music, and it's making more impact now because it's earthy material: stories and things that happen to everyday people. I call it 'people music.'

• If you were to do the world championship of victimhood in modern times, then the finals would probably be between Jews and Palestinians.

I think that, in Israel, the greatest fear that people have, and I have it, too, is this fear of genocide.
