    Remembering John Denver

    Is being advertised... Not a bad watch but why do soooo many people dislike him so much. he was a bloody great player and had a voice like an angel and lets face it - if you could write just one song as good as his best your would be well pleased.

    I've always been a bit of a fanboy and think 'live at the Sydney Opera house' is a fantastic album. Its been on every family holiday in the car - real sing a long stuff...

    Oh well

    We (wife and I) liked his music. Maybe it just appeals to people of a certain age / era. We have a couple of his LPs in the back of the wardrobe

    Now I'm going to have to either dig out the turntable and spin up the vinyl again (or find the tracks on the 'net) to revisit.

    We've got a Barry Manilow album in there somewhere, too. Not everything from that time was good.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    For those who remember Jacques Cousteau, John Denver's song will mean the song used in a TV show that was cutting edge technology for undersea exploration.
    Calypso was a piece of junk that was made into a seaworthy explorer of the world's oceans.

    BLOODY 'ell! She is still around, even after being sunk!

    the fact is - the man sold a shit load of records and wrote some bloody good songs. He did some top TV shows (Tonight show stand in, The grammys, christmas specials, even the muppet show). He was a experienced pilot, poet lauret of a state, hall of famer and a noted environmentalist. Yup - he had a bad patch with booze and drugs etc but he achieved a hell of a lot BUT mention him and many people go spaz as has been demonstrated here... I just think its very odd - he was amazingly popular and globally known...

    My question is why? personally I think he gets a raw deal...

    His music was only marginally better than his airmanship.
    When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

    I was exposed to John Denver a lot as a kid, my mum and Gran both liked his music, and many of his songs bring back good memories for me, so I would say I'm a fan. I love Annie's song (played it at our wedding, the words are ) And when I was a kid one of the guys who used to drive a truck for my dad looked like John Denver.... except his glasses were a little more coke bottle like
