Tanya Tucker On Her Rocky Relationship with Glen Campbell

[@georgesouthwick7000]

Alcohol and cocaine usually do not contribute to a harmonious relationship between two people who happen to be abusing both.

[@leoperidot482]

At least it wasn't boring.

[@liberty5069]

It doesn't take both, it only requires one to abuse like that to kill a relationship. Glad, at least, that they could survive that period of their lives.

I was probably 13, and my Mom had a cousin who was an engineer who helped build roller coasters, she came to perform at magic mountain in California and my Mom's cousin got me in and well the rest is history.

Alot of the Old Country artists, the people my father listened to in the 60s and 70s were singing about themselves. J Cash, G Jones, L Lynne T Wynette, M Haggard. They were the youth of the 30s & 40s. Hard times. Tanyas father drove her all over the country, uprooted themselves and would not give up. That is what brought all of it to the stage. I have admired and respected her since Delta Dawn made her a star. Thanks Tanya!

The name of the woman in the bible who had a child at 99 was Sarah. Abrahams wife. I have to agree that the song of Delta Dawn is the song I keep hearing in my head with her excellent voice skills. She has this wonderful raspy voice that I can easily recognize and has also sent other artists into the spotlight. Like Guns & Roses, I believe it is Axle. It is so good to see the heart of entertainers helping others around the world who struggle. This is our savior's love, especially for children who are at the heart of our world. God Bless you Tanya for your commitment to make this a better world to live in today.

[@drdecker1]

@@grayghostJSM He got to live as long because God created him that way. Do you realize God has the ability to change your body and mind at any given time he chooses? People often forget where he showed his ability to even raise the dead. He did it with me. It is the reason doctors will tell you when they are out of solutions. You need a miracle. Recently I heard his voice audibly while worshipping and praising him in our service. Telling me he is going to heal me. His voice was very gentle and as he spoke I could feel water emanating as he spoke each word. Then he tells me to look it up in the Book of Revelation. It is found in the 1st Chapter verse 15, the last part of that verse. I have seen so many miracles. Ones that even science would not be able to explain. Did you know for example when Gideon ask the Lord to produce dew on his fleece. God reverse-engineered the environment around that fleece. Creating two miracles in one.
