Summary: "Take Me Home : An Autobiography, John Denver"

I got this book for my mother. I could not find it anywhere. My mother likes all of John Denver's songs and when she was in the hospital and sick, she wanted to listen to John Denver. So I got her his autobiography, found it on Amazon. She has thoroughly enjoyed the book. She wanted to know more how he came up with the type songs he sings and his background. Good book for anyone wanting to know about John Denver and his life.

Summary: "John Denver Autobiography"

Great book. Arrived after about 1.5 weeks. Condition of book is medium. Price is high for a used library book, however it was worth it for being able to finally have a copy of this work of art.

Summary: "He at least writes good songs"

I have, from the first, admired John Denver: His sensitivity to everything in this world and beyond, his often child-like enthusiasm that too many of us have lost, his autobiographical songs that reverberate in your soul and probably helped heal his heart. They did help heal mine.
He and I were much alike. I too know about growing up under a strict, but basically fine, father, and the ache of being a sensitive soul. I know diamond and stone days. I too went to the Rockies in the summer of my 27th year, though a 6 day, 2600 mile trip sure didn't do them justice. I just hope John didn't have a migraine (an altitude headache) the first time he went there.
But my title is very telling. He writes songs better than his life story. But the two skills are entirely different. The ability to match words with notes, in the rhythm of the music is a wondrous, magical skill, far beyond writing poetry or even prose, miracles in their own right.

I'm thankful he wrote his autobiography but much more thankful he wrote all those songs of praise, "anger and warning".
