I know, that was such a terrible thing. I loved his music. I know he had many personal problems, but, his music was just so unique. I still am moved by his music every time I hear it, even the corny stuff like Thank God I'm A Country Boy.
I saw the movie about his life story and that was very good. It showed him warts and all.
It's funny, because I was recently talking to a colleague who is an aviation attorney, he is also an avid pilot who owns a plane and he knows much about planes. We were talking about strange plane crashes and why they occur. John Denver came up. He said that the plane John was flying was very easy to land on water and survive. In fact he was on a boat once who saw someone with an identical plane as John's do a forced landing on the ocean and the pilot and passenger got out of the plane, got their belongings out and then hopped into another boat passing by. Their crashed plane slowly sunk. So, he thinks the crash into the water was intentional by John. I don't know. I think people don't want to believe that, but, I thought it was odd that he has come up in conversation so much lately.
They also ran a concert of his last week on PBS. Very
coincidental.

We love JD music as well!!! We have a friend's mom who used to clean his house in the mountains!! A loooong time ago!!
Debby.......I don't hike much at all at my physical shape now either. But there are some great short trips with just a tiny bit of walking for spectacular views! And Garden of the Gods is fantabulous....all from your car!!
We take cross-country drives frequently....we love it!! We got a camper last summer, so now they're even more fun! Our own clean potty on the go!!

Thanks for the tips Grizz. I can just see it now....driving along a scenic route on a cool crisp sunny day...listining to my Ipod..."He was born in the summer of his22nd year"......I think that's how the song starts. "Rocky Mountain High" that is.
The place is definitely on the top of my list.
