The Quiz: A 1968 hit by Glen Campbell is about a lineman from which Kansas city?
Wichita
Olathe
Lawrence
Topeka
In 1968, Glen Campbell released a simple song about a man who worked on telephone poles in the middle of Kansas. That may not sound like a story for a massive hit, but “Wichita Lineman” became one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed pop songs of the ’60s. It hit the No. 3 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, was ranked by “Rolling Stone” as the 195th best song of all time, and has been called “the greatest pop song ever composed.”
The correct answer to this quiz is Wichita.
