Originally put this in Music/news but wasn't quite sure where it fit so put it here in Random.

A couple months ago I heard that singer Glen Campbell had Alzheimer's Disease. This particular disease just makes me so sad. He was being interviewed and was going to do one last tour and/or concert. He said he hadn't noticed anything different BUT he kept on saying that throughout the interview apparently not realizing how many times he said it.

Anyway, a couple days ago, I read that 60's pop idol, Bobby Vee also had Alzheimer's (or dementia, one of the two). I had a friend in High School who just LOVED Bobby Vee. Even thru the British Invasion, Bobby Vee was her idol. He is in his 60's.

I have had a couple relatives with the disease and it is heartbreaking. Truth be told (and although not officially diagnosed), I was confident that my own mother who passed last month had definite signs of the disease.

I guess I just want to express how awful this disease is. Such a undignified, demeaning way to go.

Thanks for letting me say my piece.
