You don’t know what you’re talking about! Those are all John Denver pictures through the years. I followed his career from the very beginning through all the stages, the different haircuts, the different outfits, the different glasses. Be sure your facts before you pop off and say this is Clickbait.

I loved him. I still do. When I hear his songs it takes me back to the days when I dated my first love. Bittersweet memories set to the the purest voice this side of heaven.

There will never be another John Denver who represented the magic of life with innocence, purity, and sweetness. All aspects of John's persona represent the very best of humanity, and I can almost feel his presence in every flower, blade of grass, and drop of rain. His life has profoundly impacted the world for generations to come. Never has a single human being been so loved on such a global scale, and the world will never be the same. When John passed, Heaven Itself paused, and every angel bowed. Planet Earth grieved, and the entire universe was in morning. Bobby

I'm an early years teacher, and a bit more. Some of us in my profession have a deep interest in schemas - the innate patterns in children's play and exploration that help them to learn. It's not a government mandated curriculum. It's a natural thing. It's been called 'the curriculum within the child'. It is likely to be life long - an enduring facet of personality. One of those patterns is 'trajectory'. It's to do with a fascination with paths of movement: vertical, horizontal, oblique. It can also apply to time: past, present, future. To space travel, deep sea exploration, a human life span, and so much more. I believe John had a very strong trajectory schema. Just listen to Rocky Mountain High, Starwood in Aspen,They Were Flying For Me, Calypso, Wild Montana Skies, Leaving on a Jet Plane, (his sometimes troubled relationship with his father, the manner of his death) and see what you think. I loved him dearly. I like to think he is one with his beloved rocky maintains now.

John Denver had a beautiful voice and a way with a song that was simple and related to the feelings of many people.

I never stopped loving John when he went 'out of style'. Society became more and more jaded until now it's almost seriously corrupt. John had too much heart and soul for what America became. He was as beautiful as his music.

I met him at the space center one time. I was in the gift shop, heard him singing outside. He was getting ready to perform for the astronauts when they came back. Just him me and my wife. He was real nice. I always liked him from way back. Sad he left us so soone.

Loved him and his voice was as strong in person as it was on records or radio.

R.I.P. John

Most singers lives lonely lives, always away from family because of their job as musician but their mind very creative never ending ideas and we too benefit from hearing their music. It is really inspiring.

RIP, brother John. You will always be here with us😢

One song that I loved that I don't see mentioned in the comments was, " For Bobbie". John Denver was a great entertainer and to me , his songs reflected so much love and compassion, regardless of what Charlie Rich and a few others thought of his music. In the end, it is evident that his popularity prevailed.😮

Rest in peace, old friend😢

He was gracious to me. I can not prove this meeting happened, but I am STILL a musician and i miss JD. he reached alot of people.

He'd still be here if he and Annie had reconciled. I think after the divorce he spent his remaining years trying to fill the emptiness that was left by Annie. Annie complained that he was always gone, but also refused to be on the road with him. Marriage is about compromise. He never seemed happy after Annie and he split.

How sad he must HAVE felt, on that fateful day. I believe he had nobody to care about him.....yet he gave his wives and his family every thing they needed to live a very comfortable life. One must understand, a Musician, " Works " on the Road to gain the freedom for their music. ITS calls "Work" because this is their day & NIGHT Job! Musicians wives, must understand that the people in their circle , are Family, while Touring, & bringing home money to support their family. I just do not begin to understand why , " wives & fiancee ' do not relate to this aspect of the " JOB, , WORK, OR EARNING A LIVING!!!

The facts surrounding the accident clearly show he was at fault. First, his flying privileges had been revoked due to his DUIs. Second, the aircraft's air worthiness was in doubt because of the fuel tank installation and he was aware of that information. His decision to fly is a problem that many successful people have. They believe that their personal success overrides basic safety considerations. It's called arrogance. I've flown numerous aircraft, from single engine general aviation to high performance jet transports and in doing so have met a variety of pilots. A handful had attitudes like Denver. I avoided any association with those types. I was fortunate to have a basic instructor who believed every flight was serious business.
