You have no idea how great a loss that was. Liberals and communist leftists could join hands with hillbillies and sing to the songs of John Henry. John Denver. He was a beacon of light. He was born in Roswell, NM in 1943 to a Colonel in the Army-Air Force (soon to be) and the military family was sent to the atomic bomb testing range. As a test pilot... so the story goes. Jim Morrison of The Doors was also supposed to be one.
We have to remember there perhaps some people who don't know who he is so you really have to reference some of his greatest songs
Here's calypso referencing the great underwater exploration ship Captained by Jacques Cousteau that was so prominent in television specials in the late seventies and early '80s
That's not music! There's no mentions of pussies or dicks or slapping that thing and no rambling out of tune words slurred and spoken by people who can barely understand the meaning of what's written for them.
Was a confessed drug addict alcoholic and wife abuser. Unfaithful. Cut their bed in half with a chainsaw during a fight. If he were a wahmen you would reeeeeeee!!!!! John Denver was a bitch. But also boring af to listen to.
Friend of the family. You don't want to hear this. But he drank and smacked his wife around until she left him. He gave a shit about the future and he privately worked on regenerative, organic, permaculture as a hobby wanting to spread self sufficiency. Revolutionary in the 80s. His Dad was also a physical abusers and first generation American from Germany. Friends shared concerns that his accident wasn't such an accident but the report on how it happened, which I didnt read until I was older, was convincing to me. Design flaw in an experimental plane so he couldn't reach the secondary gas tank. The photo of where they put the lever (behind the seat) is insane.

It's uncanny and I don't know if any other musical artist that so consistently accomplished that feat when you heard their music.
