40 years of getting’ high with John Denver [video]

There are a few folks out there who are about to feel really old.

Forty years ago today, back in the groovy era that was the seventies, John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High” album was released, which pushed the folk singer into the Top 10 for the first time in his career.

Though he lacks the edge of the artists who are usually celebrated from the time, hipsters should appreciate the flannel shirt and puffy vest and Muppet fans can’t help but hold a special place in their hearts for such a good friend of Kermit.
