SHARE Glen Campbell to say Chicago farewell Jan. 26

Glen Campbell’s “Goodbye Tour” has scheduled a Chicago-area stop: Jan. 26 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet.

After revealing an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis in June, Campbell said his current album — the acclaimed “Ghost on the Canvas,” released Aug. 30 — and supporting tour would be his last. His touring band includes wife Kim and several sons and daughters.

The 75-year-old country music legend and actor has recorded more than 70 albums in his half-century career, scoring hits with such songs as “Gentle on My Mind,” “By the Time I Get To Phoenix,” “Galveston,” “Rhinestone Cowboy” and “Southern Nights.”

Tickets for the Jan. 26 concert ($29-$78) go on sale at 9 a.m. Nov. 18 via the Rialto box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com and by calling (815) 726-6600 or (800) 982-2787.

Chicago Cubs' broadcaster Harry Caray sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at Chicago's Wrigley Field in 1989.

Why did Harry Caray always say ‘Holy Cow?’ It could be linked to a 1930s flying bovine. No bull!
In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
