I admit that I thought less of John Denver after I heard of his marital problems and drinking, this by the man who wrote the beautiful "Annie's Song" for his wife. But in my old age, I've realized that such stories often get exaggerated. And even if we write wonderful songs, we're all frail humans.

So, I've decided to just like his music, and let the extramusical conduct be. I saw him in performance only once, a 3-1/2 hour concert in an arena in Fresno in the late 1970s. He sang without a break, and he held the audience spellbound. He was indeed a wonderful performer.

My own favorite John Denver song is

Some Days are Diamond

You ask me how I've been here without you
I like to say that I'm fine and I do
But we both know that the truth is hard to come by
And we know that it just isn't true

Some days are diamond, some days are stone
Some days the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill on my bones
Some days are diamond, some days are stone

Now the face that I see in my mirror
More and more is a stranger to me
More and more I can see there's a danger
Of beoming what I never thought I would be
