Billed as the "most photographed mountain in America."
Henry Deutschendorf’s
Peak.
The economy is resembling John Denver’s plane.
Can’t they find an old crater to name?
Why don’t they leave Mt. Sopris alone, and rename Monterey Bay after JD?
Oh God I’m An Ocean Buoy
-not by John Denver
(Sing to the tune of “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”)
Took a flight from the farm
and I never came back
Built a plane from a kit
But I didn’t have the knack
Jumped in the cockpit
and downed a six-pack
And now I’m an ocean buoy
Well, I grabbed the controls
And I started to fiddle
Got flames coming up
On my face like a griddle
Air flight ain’t nothing
But a funny, funny riddle
So now I’m an ocean buoy.
Well, my head’s chopped in pieces
And my body’s full of dents
They’ll identify me
By my guitar’s fingerprints
I tried to “dry out”
But instead got a rinse
And now I’m an ocean buoy
Well, it’s really farrr out
When you’re down ‘neath the water
I just ain’t been right
Since I started on the bottle
I reach for Jim Beam
But instead grab the throttle
And now I’m an ocean buoy
Well, I grabbed the controls
And I started to fiddle
Got flames coming up
On my face like a griddle
George Burns appeared beside me
and we prayed just a little
Oh God! I’m an ocean buoy!
The day’s just about over
And I’m sinking kinda low
In the undersea world
of Jacques Cousteau
Calypso can you find me
By the bubbles that I blow
‘Cause now I’m an ocean buoy
Dumb idea.
Compromise: name the largest city in the region after him.
The scenery was beautiful till this long haired hippie creep came on and tried to sing. It was so bad I had to turn off the sound just to enjoy the mountain scenery.
Then years later came Denver's attempt to stop some construction by claiming the fuel trucks would ruin the area, and later it was found that while criticizing others fuel usage HE was found to be hoarding thousands of gallons of fuel.
