The level of ability here is completely off the charts. One guy is a comic who could easily have had a career as a pro guitarist and the other guy is in the top 5 or 10 guitarists of all time. And yet, when you watched this, it was all “Aw shucks!” No big deal. Incredible.

Campbell was good, but not in the top ten of all time. No better than James Burton, or Danny Gatton. Campbell was a first call player, good enough to have made a living as a session player if his career hadn't have taken off, people make a bid deal over his playing now, because he's mostly known as a singer.

RIP Martin Mull and Glen Campbell. Mull was a severely underrated comic. Subversive genius.

It's amazing how natural they sound together. RIP to both gentlemen.

R.I.P. Martin Mull. He is survived by his Fabulous Furniture.

Serial was the movie my wife and I saw on our first date, 42 years ago. RIP Mr. Mull and Mr Campbell.

R.I.P. Glen Campbell (1936-2017) and Martin Mull (1943-2024).

Wholesome country music. We had it so nice. Mull and Campbell are in good form. Glen was quite the lead player, really nice country riffs, and Martin was no slouch either. Rest in peace Martin.

I’ve seen Martin Mull hold his own - actually, more than hold his own - with artists such as B.B. King and now Glen Campbell. Plus, one of the most iconic comedic talents ever.

Martin Mull on "Mary Hartman", "Fernwood Tonight", & "America Tonight" was comedy gold. Loved Tommy Tedesco in The Mirth Makers band. You'll never see TV like this again in your life.

Same here. My sister and I caught him first on Mary Hartman. Then Fernwood 2Night. He and Fred Williard did a skit in heavy Scottish brogue, "Fern, say hi to Herb. Herb meet Fern". We cracked up every time. Being a take off of late night hosting shows at one point the band conductor was " Happy Kine" and always wore headphones. (Real name was Frank DeVol, an excellent band leader in his own time doing skits at the end of his career). Some producer should've seen the brilliance of that pair and given them their own TV show similar to Rowan & Martins Laugh-In. Somehow it wasn't meant to be and they parted ways.

Glen Campbell one of the ALL TIME GREATS!

Mull did solo stand-up at Emory University sometime in the early 70's. I believe he was connected with someone who taught there. I had never before and never since laughed so hard and so long that I hurt. I don't remember what I was laughing at but I've never experienced that since. I also remember one brief song snippet he did, making fun of the pain of the wealthy--a blues number--something like, "I woke up this morning, both my cars were gone...I was so upset I threw my drink across the lawn." Sorry to hear he has passed away.

Always enjoyed Martin Mull, ever since MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN.

Martin was a funny, funny guy. Lines/titles from his albums included; 'How can I miss you if you won't go away', 'How could I have ever missed a girl of your size', 'The blacks are giving me the blues'. etc. Or listen to 'Ukulele Blues'.

Martin is great as a guitar player and comedian - and even greater as an actor - he's been in more shows than you can shake a stick at (if that's your idea of a good time), Congratulations to Martin and Glen - this is fabulous!

This is a funny as hell composition by Martin Mull. The live album version was always entertaining. But with Campbell doing the hot licks here as well as singing cornball harmony, it ramps up the song by new heights. Glenn is just winging it the entire time, but he kills it. Wow! Just wow!

Okay well Wikipedia says that Vito Russo wrote that "the film is permeated with hatred for gays" and that it was "the perfect anti-feminist homophobic statement to usher in the age of Ronald Reagan". Rotten Tomatoes summation: "a man (Martin Mull) resists the California fads that his wife (Tuesday Weld), friends and Marin County neighbors embrace." But it sounds from your comment as though you are trying to make Martin Mull into a shill for what you don't like about present day California. Personally I was marinated in Smothers Brothers and everything Norman Lear ever made. I never saw this movie but I think it probably didn't age well. 🤪

To Glen's credit (assuming that he interpreted the lyrics the same as I). . . choosing this song to play with Mull showed a humble/self depricating side to him.

Mull is a creative genius as far as lyrics and comedy go, and plays the roles of the very unlikable great in moveis. He wrote this song. Glen is not su much a writer as he is a guitarist (one of the best ever). Most of his hits were written by others, but he just had a knack for making them hits, a great voice, and superb guitar. He was also part of the Wrecking Crew, he has the ability to do studio work for all kinds of writers and musicians, he was multi dimensional, he could play with anyone. Great mix to have those two talents work together on this one.
