Jonesing on John Denver tonite |
|
I get on some kicks. Denver always lifts my spirit to a higher plain. Some of his words really get to me. Annie's Song, Follow Me, Calypso and Montana Skies are my favorites. At least today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C21G2OkHEYo (Annie's Song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD8PvOKbz3k (follow me) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35x_rwyBh-8 ( calypso) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqeDLFYzN2Y&feature=related (Montana Skies)

3. He was my hero growing up and still is today |
|
I had the opportunity to meet him backstage after a concert when I was living in Japan. Will never forget his warm handshake and beautiful brown eyes. He listened to a crazed twenty year old, I don't even remember what I said to him, I was so nervous. I cried so hard when he died.
One of my favorite songs is "It's About Time." It brings chills down my spine. :)

4. I love love love Rocky Mountain High. |

Every time he sings, "They try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more. More people, more scars upon the land." I just about cry. That is beautiful and so true. John Denver was great. I miss him.

5. My mom was college classmates with his first wife, Annie |
|
and John went on a couple of class trips with them, back in the 1960s.
I ended up going to the same college as my mom. Legend has it that John Denver wrote "Leaving on a Jet Plane" for Annie, while sitting on a knoll outside one of the dorms. Chances are this just a story, though.
