Annie’s Song: John Denver

There was an article in the paper today about how the move to name a peak in the Rockies after John Denver has hit a snag. It seems the government says it is policy to avoid adding names to peaks in federal wilderness areas though a peak in Denali Park was recently named after Senator Ted Stevens. Another group, against the naming, is just anti-Denver saying his music is too syrupy. One person called him a human muppet. I used to stand with the syrupy group but have since changed my mine. I am again a John Denver fan.

    I would really have enjoyed a way to like John Denver but could never get there. heck I was born and raised in London, I couldn’t relate to “thank God I’m a country boy”. I guess his version of “leaving on a jet plane was alright” especially if it pissed off the tall ugly mean one in PPM.
    Oh and he was cool on the Muppets if that helps

      My Dear Hedley,
      I went through phases with John Denver. I liked him when he first started singing then I didn’t like his music at all-thought it too syrupy. Now I’m back to liking John Denver again. It was the the nostalgia of aging!
