With a new exhibit celebrating the Songwriters Hall of Fame that has opened at the Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles, the facility finally has a space in which the pen is definitively mightier …
’s “Wichita Lineman,” Alan Menken’s “Little Shop of Horrors,” Steve Dorff’s “Murphy Brown” theme song and Taylor Swift’s “White Horse” and “Run.”
The Songwriters Hall has been very New York-centric, with the annual induction ceremonies always taking place there without fail, so this is a chance for west coast writers to feel celebrated, without having to get on a plane, as many of them did at a cocktail reception that was held at the Grammy Museum at the end of April.
Jimmy Webb was getting a look at his own artifacts on display during a recent preview, which range from the handwritten words to the Glen Campbell smash “Wichita Lineman” — which at least a few students of pop history will claim is the greatest song ever written, or close to it — to a jacket he wore in the 1960s. “Manuel used to make all the clothes for Glen, so I used to envy all of Glen’s clothes. So it’s kind of a symbol of my fascination with that sartorial splendor.
Does he have a substitute rhyming dictionary while this is on display? “I haven’t been writing. I’m waiting to get it back — that’s my excuse,” he claimed. Then he owned up to being able to go on without it: No, I, I’m actually writing songs for a new album, so who knows.”
