Book Reviews of John Denver and Me
Book Review: An inspiring book about an inspiring musician . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
Hundreds of years from now when people are living to be 250 years old, routinely traveling through space, and hunger has indeed been wiped off the planet, there will be little thought given to the twentieth century, except, perhaps, by historians with a particular interest in this time period. And most of the composers and musicians of our time will be forgotten. Yet millions of people will still listen to the music and the voice of John Denver with the same reverence and passion that our generation holds for the classical composers such as Beethoven and Mozart. Here is a book which evokes those passions because it is such an intimate look at a musical and a humanitarian force in our lifetime who has touched the lives and emotions of so many. This book offers a very personal insight to John Denver's capacity for opening his heart to others, to his boundless energy to give and receive love, to his unique ability to provoke deep-seated feelings with his music and to his leadership in arousing generosity in others by the way he led his life. And what a fantasy come to life this book tells. Imagine being infatuated with your idol whose music has seen you through so many episodes in your life and then meeting that person and having an intense, albeit brief, relationship with them - like a dream come true. Some people have a companion for 20 years and do not have the kind of intimacy and connection that the author had with John Denver both from being with him and from afar. No doubt this book will inspire feelings of jealousy and indignity for those who regard John Denver as practically a god and who believe that we mortals are not entitled to know him on such a personal level. But the truth is, John Denver was a man -- with a rare and special gift of creating music and delivering it in a way that makes our lives richer. We can be grateful for a book that not only gives us a very personal look at John Denver but also provides a close look into what inspired such timeless music that will be ours to relish for generations to come.
