Inside Fame - John Denver

I love CMT. Have I mentioned that? Their show Inside Fame is country’s answer to VH-1’s Behind the Music. This afternoon’s artist was John Denver. And I was reminded how much I love his music. I grew up listening to John Denver, I saw Oh God! in the theater, I used to wonder, “Who’s this chick, Annie, of Annie’s Song?”

Did you know that he started out in folk music - and by folk music I’m talking A Mighty Wind style folk music? I cracked up a little when they showed the groups from those days. Now I know why A Mighty Wind resonates with folks of my parent’s generation so well. Christopher Guest et al, completely nailed it in their parody. But I digress…

In one hour I learned a ton of info about JD. It’s too bad he died so young.
