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.

If there was one quality to describe John Denver's music it was that it would make your heart soar when you heard it.
It's uncanny and I don't know if any other musical artist that so consistently accomplished that feat when you heard their music.
