On April 24, 1971, John Denver sang "The Strangest Dream" at a peace march in Washington DC. The anti-war march was to protest the Vietnam War. The song, written by Ed McCurdy, was one of the anthems of the anti-war era.

  • Thanks so much for ...

    Thanks so much for posting this great song!

    Being a guitar player I noticed on that 1971 day, John is playing a 12-string guitar, it is like playing two guitar at the same time, with the wind blowing at him, most people would just not be able to sing at all...

    That was 1971 when the stupid war was going on; now is 2007, another stupid war is going again, and John is here singing and praying...

    JOHN LIVES!!

  • It's said that ...

    It's said that departed loved ones send birds,especially the kind of bird or birds they cherished while they were living, to those they left behind as an expression of love. I've witnessed this many times in my life - enough to know it's no coincidence.

    I properly listened to John Denver yesterday for the first time, after watching the John Denver Story. What a voice, a great talent and a sad tale in the end. I'm a new fan

  • Twenty five years ...

    Twenty five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
    Of depression and oppression and together they toked
    And they folked out with guitars around a bon fire
    Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened
    Some were spell bound some were hell bound
    Some they fell down and some got back up and
    Fought back 'gainst the melt down
    And their kids are hippie chicks and hypocrites
    Because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it

    This should be Americas national anthem not 'land of the free'. I wonder what J.D. would have to say about that idiot Bush (and Blair) if he was still around today. RIP John we miss you. PS I am an Englishman!
