Hey, Cities can be named after people, Bridges can be named after people, even Mountains can be named after men like George Everest. Heck, COUNTRIES can be named after people ( e.g. Philippines was named after King Philip of Spain ).
Why not this particular Peak? What possible harm can there be?
Because Mt John Denver sounds stupid. :)
Actually, I don’t have a problem with it either, but I’d like to see Mt Denver rather than John Denver. Or even Deutschendorf Peak. I think the two names personalizes it too much.
Not saying there isn’t precedence, but I do think it is a bit too far, and I’m a fan.
BTW, I just found my t-shirt from one of his last shows on his last tour.
Of course, if it passes, then there might be a market for all my memorabilia.
