Even though he had lost his "star" quality by the time he died, He was an enormous star at one time. I see a similiarity between John Denver's life and death. He also had passion for his work, was dedicated to the enviroment and had dangerous hobbies. Does this make sense?
. . .and yes, he looked a lot like John Denver; but would not read more into the similarity.
Steve was a Star and when he died; he still was. . .STILL had. . .enormous star quality. . .enormous celebrity. . .and his 'good-will' went far beyond Australia as his joy for animals touched so many the world over.
What kind of world would we live in; if there were not those whose reach is so amazing and so brave?.
God speed, Steve; and prayers for all who knew and loved him.
