Because - GOOBER - John Denver made a big deal out of NOT having a memorial when he was alive!!!!!!! I think that following his wishes would be something that people would want to do - IF they knew what they were. Now they know!!!!
Please know that it is NOT called the John Denver Memorial - it is called the John Denver Sanctuary. Denver was very specific - years before he died - that he would not like a memorial to his life - but he would love a place to remember his music. So walk among the stones - and listen to the "out of doors"!!!! THAT is his music. It is NOT dedicated to his memory - it is dedicated to his music!!!!!!!
@Earthlinked seriously why would you even comment. so what if it is dedicated to his music and not his memory. If it makes someone feel good and wants to call it a memorial then so be it.
@prmass1 You should have let your daughter finish reading the words. That was a beautiful thing to hear. You could have helped her to appreciate a beautiful song. I hope to see this place in my lifetime. Thanks for sharing~God Bless
So wonderful to see this...I was there the first year, when there were no stones and very few of the beautiful plantings made by JD's fans and friends in his memory. I'm so thankful that Annie helped make this lovely memorial to him.
Thanks for posting the video. I am so glad you had your child with you. All children need to know John Denver and his songs. The world woulc be a better place.
The world is a better place, because John Denver lived in it. John Denver's work will continue to brighten each new horizon. His memory lives on in all living things.
I was there in May, 2008. Such a Beautiful place, so peaceful...JD would have loved it. You want lots of time to wander and take in the atmosphere of it all..a perfect place for him to be remembered.....
Oh get over it, he was just another singer from the 70s that failed in marriage, love, and was consumed in his selfish pursuits. He was just a man.
