I love John Denver and am not going to apologize.

[Reciprocity]

I love this man. I miss him more than I can put into words, especially in these trying days. The first concert I ever went to was his. He was and still is, such a role model. He was instrumental in me becoming a national park ranger.

Paradise
Words and music by John Prine

When I was a child, my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my mem'ries are worn

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

And the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

1. I know I'd be a poorer man if I never saw an eagle fly!

Rocky mountain high....colorado....Rocky mountain high.
He had some great songs...no need to apologize for appreciating talent. Sure I got a little sick of him in the 70's because he saturated the market but I always come back to good music eventually.

2. Yeah I liked him too

took me a while to own up to it..but I like him and all the old Kingston Trio stuff too

[Maddy McCall]

3. I do, too.

4. I took in the shrine to him in Aspen.

I love that guy's songs. Hokey at times? SUre. But Country Roads is the theme song for my friends and I.

5. I had to defend my taste in previous years

Nice to see I am in good company these days.
Wish he was still around.

6. Apologize? Oh, it's too late for that. you are forever marked ...

... as a lover of John Denver.
....it's like having a mole in shape of 666.

7. Oh God! I'm an Ocean Buoy

Oh God! I'm an Ocean Buoy

(Parody of Thank God I'm a Country Boy by John Denver)

Took a flight from Monterey
And I never came back
Bought a plane from a kit
That was built by a quack
Jumped in the cockpit
And downed a six pack

And now I'm an ocean buoy

Well, it's hard when you're flyin'
And your sluggin' on a bottle
Flying in a plane
That's an experimental model
Reached for Jim Beam
But instead I grabbed the throttle

Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy

Well, I grabbed the controls
And I started to fiddle
Got flames coming up
On my face like a griddle
Air flight's nothin'
But a funny funny riddle

Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy

Well, my head's chopped to pieces
And my body's full of dents
They identified me
By my guitar's finger prints
I tried to dry out
But instead got a rinse

And now I'm an ocean buoy

Well I'm feeling kinda down
And I'm sinking kinda low
In the undersea world
Of Jacque Cousteau
Bobbing up and down
When the trade winds blow

'Cause now I'm an ocean buoy

Well, I grabbed the controls
And I started to fiddle
Got flames coming up
On my face like a griddle
Air flights nothing
But a funny funny riddle

Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy. Woohoo!

When the plane dove down
It was nothing but a riddle
My pants got wet
When I started to piddle
George Burns appeared beside me
And we prayed just a little

Woo! Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy
