Did you see the John Denver special on PBS? It was touching. Although I didn't agree with all of his politics, John Denver was a good man as well as a superb musician.

I have not seen the special on PBS, but I will keep a look out for it. I love his music. It always seemed simple but so true. My favorite was a song that had the words, "Thank God I'm A Country Boy." That may be the title too. I love to try to sing along with the song and see if I can do it without messing the words.

I think that is the title, too. I'm always humming along with his songs. I have some old LP records of his that I play now and then and they always make me a little nostalgic.

No, I didn't see it. I have to disagree with you on this one. I did not think he was a very good musician. He had a couple of good songs, but nothing that I would consider "Writing home" about. I am not sure what his political views even were.

Not everyone likes everyone. I'm sorry you don't care for his music because I think you are missing something, but that's the way it goes.:)

No, I missed that. I would have liked to have seen it. Was it a repeat? I saw a show about him and his life a few weeks or months after he died. I really likes some of his songs. A friend of mine had a crush on him when I was in high school or I probably wouldn't have known he even existed until "Thank God I'm a Country Boy."

I don't think it was a repeat but I don't know for sure. It covered quite a bit of his life, had interviews with people he worked with and so on. I love his "Thank God I'm a Country Boy," but then I love almost everything he did.

I haven't seen one lately, but I know there is one I have seen a few times that has both concert footage and people talking about him. They tend to show it during pledge drives.
I used to be too "cool" to like his music but have come to appreciate a lot of it since I've grown up.
I think he was a very good singer, had good range and a smooth even tone.
I have little to no knowledge of his politics, except I know he liked the outdoors a lot, so I'd assume he was an environmentalist.
