John Denver Is a Liar

Well, he was a liar.

The round-spectacled, bowl hair cut wearing, country western/folky-type singer told me in 1974 that, "Hey, it's good to be back home again." If he hadn't crashed his plane into the Pacific Ocean in 1997, I'd track him John Locke style and punch him in the nose...HARD.

I beg to differ Mr. Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. Actually, it sucks to be back home again for these reasons:

1. I'm not in Alaska.
2. I'm not in Alaska at Denali National Park.
3. It was 55 degrees when we left Fairbanks.
4. It's 44 degrees warmer than that in this God forsaken cow town.
5. I have to go back to work tomorrow, which does not happen to be in Alaska.

Thanks for nothing John Denver. While I hate you for this song, overall, I do love your music. Call me a hippie. It will not faze me.

And there is a good reason to be back home again...four actually.

That is all. As Prince once said, peace and be wild. But he says stupid things sometimes, so take it with a grain of salt or glacial silt, whichever you have available.
