John Denver: Country Boy

You're free to think what you like about the man, but through all his innocence, he hit on something that resonates with me and many others. The earliest time I ever heard his music was during the Vietnam War. Country Roads was something all the people I knew wanted to hear over and over. That and Rocky Mountain High, for those of us from that part of the country, were a reminder of our home. The Colorado Rockies were my "country roads" and still are today. John was not from here, but he integrated readily. I have no problem with his music representing the way I feel about my home. One thing I have yet to do is visit Williams Lake, Colorado, during the annual Perseid meteor shower. I also want to see the fire in the sky.
