A few things led me to post this today. I have been reading a lot of posts from people who have re-discovered long lost classics in their collections. I also have been noticing the name John Denver a lot here on MOG. It made me go into my collection to find a tribute cd that a lot of my favorite Minneapolis bands participated in back in 95. The cd was titled "Minneapolis Does Denver", and it had a

In a hilarious NYTimes article, State Senator Bob Hagedorn, and the Colorado General Assembly, backtrack about the meaning of the John Denver song that they just proclaimed as the new additional state song. (It shares the title with Where Columbines Grow)They want to make absolutely clear, that the Rocky Mountain High is an endorphin rush, but not the kind that is produced by illicit drugs. I...

Twelve years ago on October 12, 1997, John Denver was killed in a freak plane crash right off the coast of California at Pacific Grove. It was a huge blow to Denver fans worldwide as John was only 53 years old. This video was put together as a tribute to John two years ago, and I think it's a great way to celebrate the life of an American music icon. We miss you John. Enjoy the tribute.Foll...

I heard this song the other day driving through the grapevine heading to Los Angeles. For those not on the left coast the grapevine is the nickname for the Angeles National Forest which you hit on the way out of LA travelling north to San Francisco.Anywho, I was amazed at how good this song actually is. Something really unique about the John Denver hits, they really don't sound like anything ...

When I was young, that picture is really how I pictured John Denver when I thought about his music. But, it was hard not to when that commercial for his greatest hits was on the television all day long. I just thought his music was kinda cheesy and never really gave it a chance.Since then, after I actually gave folk music a chance several years ago I realized I liked it. For some reason I s...
