Far out, man!!

Sorry! That was John Denver's favorite expression. He literally used it the whole time. Coincidentally, I recently watched his biopic - Take Me Home: The John Denver Story (TV Movie 2000). So you many be on to something there!

What a wonderful voice!! So many good tunes. Annie's Song, Take Me Home, Country Roads, Rocky Mountain High, Leaving On A Jet Plane, and Calypso are among my favorites of his. He was just too pure for this world.

FYI, I am watching another biopic of a tremendous singing voice, in Karen Carpenter - The Karen Carpenter Story (1989). Great biopic, but very tragic.

I heard about that one, but I have never seen it. Apparently, Richard Carpenter sued Haynes over it. I believe it started because Todd Haynes insinuates that Richard Carpenter is gay. I will watch it today.

I think that may have been Close to You: Remembering the Carpenters (1997).

Yes, definitely, I would like to know how many would be alive today if it were not for their fame. I would say a good few.
