Well, I guess Glenn must be alive and well. Here's his URL:

It's kind of an interesting Web site, I think. I saw him perform maybe four years ago, and he seemed to be awfully cynical. He's been married and divorced three times, and he didn't look all that healthy. His voice was still good and clear, but many of the songs he sang were New Age, introspective, pseudopsychological gobbledy-gook (guess I'm showing my prejudices here). He did a good job on some of his old songs, though.

Come to think of it, he probably was one of the pioneers of the age of pseudopsychological gobbledy-gook, with all his Rod Mc Kuen songs.
