I’m sitting in one of those Starbucks that is located inside a grocery store this morning with Danny Davidson. You might remember Danny as the “John Denver” guy. (This morning there were no John Denver references.) As we are walking out, we meander over to the DVD discount bins. All these cool movies [...]

Finally, after months of having our flights changed by as little as 2 minutes, we are getting of the ground later this morning. We’re heading out to Colorado, a place loved by singer John Denver, so I thought the title appropriate. In fact, on our way through Aspen and Snowmass in a few days, we’ll stop [...]

SPOKANE, Wash. — When audiences close their eyes during a Jim Curry concert, they may find the similarities between him and John Denver uncanny and when they open their eyes, they just might do a double-take. Curry doesn’t do an impersonation of Denver, his performance is a true tribute, but he shares many of the [...]

There’s an old Bill Hicks joke about what happens to US Presidents after their election. As Hicks had it, the President Elect was taken into a small, smokey room. A projecter screen comes down, and a big man with a cigar goes, “Roll the film.” And, with that, the twelve men who really run the world [...]

You know what really freaked me out at Oktoberfest'The preponderance of American classic rock. John Denver, Elvis, the Beatles. I mean, I was prepared for the drunkards sleeping it off in the streets and the guys pissing on sidewalks (sort of). But I turned completely paranoid when I heard Country Road sung by ~1000 really drunk germans in flawless english. I was in the Hacker-Pschorr tent staring...

Today as I drove to work, I couldn't help a bit of melancholy. The weather was cool, traffic was light, John Denver was breezy (yes, John Denver!), the mountains were august, the sun brilliant, . . . and I was melancholy. As I drove I began to think of Abraham, Moses, and Isaiah for some reason. Each of these individuals had an amazing encounter with God. Abraham (while still "Abram") encountered the...
