    He sang about peace, talked about poverty, ocean, the environment and the Amazon. JD was WAY before his time. Too bad we didn't listen to his advice, what a different world this would be.

    Over the years we saw John in concert each time he played in N CA John was far from perfect. He had his issues just like everyone else does however his music was some of the best, his concerts, the absolute best. We not only took our kids to one but our grandkids as well. He was way ahead of his time when it came to how we as humans should treat one another and take better care of this place we call home. For those who might not know he wrote an autobiography that sheds some interesting light on his life which might shock a few people.

    Thanks, Henry. In 1972, your music gave me back my spiritual sense, and brought back my poetry. And I agree with the interviewer: as you grew older, your voice, unlike many other singers, did become richer, sweeter.

    Getting to know him a little bit in this interview, it doesn't surprise me a bit that his memory is photographic, his attention to detail is spot-on and absolutely methodical and he tells stories from decades ago as if they were yesterday in perfect chronological order. All of the greats or most of them at least, seem to share these traits.

    The guy was a genius, decades ahead if us all in realizing what lay ahead in terms of the environment and future political dangers worldwide. Look across the planet today and consider the futile and immature leadership we now have. If we'd have listened to John Denver back then today's world would have been an amazing place to live. Sadly, we didn't and look at the mess we are in. Ask yourself this: 'What have you done to improve the future potential of humanity?' Come on everybody - wake up!!!!

    He was an exceptional human being -- watching footage of his last concert i could see he put on weight and the effects of alcohol abuse and stress -- he still sang like an angel and performed very well but you could see he was struggling with his life -- if he had stayed with Annie his later life would have been far better -- RIP

      John was more liberal than conservative but he really did not fit either political party....too liberal to be a classic Repubic-an and too liberal to be a proper Demon-crat.....For those who think he would have loathed Trump however....just rememeber that he had a 'very pleasant' dinner in New York City with the Donald back in the day when Trump was in the full swing of things. Then again he liked Jimmy Carter quite a bit and lunched with him and called the Bush family his friends...played horseshoes with Senior Bush who headed the dreaded CIA and is as dark as it gets (just as evil as the Clintons and that says a lot....so I think he just liked people too easily and was too kind to certain other celebrities and infamous characters that I never would walk across the stereet to meet. John was just TOO KIND overall and could be too trusting.

    Notice how he didnt say writing a song but rather writing your feelings.
    Maybe you kids should think about the music you listen to. Music is from the heart and i dont think many modern artists could truly say that about much of the vulgar songs/artists today.
