I was in the Air Force and going through a divorce in the mid-70s. I used to listen to John Denver driving the dirt roads in the high desert of New Mexico in my pickup, trying to take my mind off of my marriage problems.

Denver was born in New Mexico when his father was in the Army Air Corps, so maybe you tapped into something.

In the end, though, New Mexico couldn't compete with Colorado and West Virginia.

His wife Annie (of Annie’s Song) was from Minnesota and they were living in a Minneapolis suburb when he first hit the big time. He’s remembered from those days as a jerk. Seems to have mellowed as he got older.
