And five years ago, if we had done only half of what we did last year for Ethiopia, millions of lives would have been saved. The unkindest cut of all came when the organizers behind the ''We Are the World'' effort snubbed Denver, who had done far more fighting against hunger than almost any of the participants. But his real concern these days is the loss of farms and small businesses partly because of what he considers an inordinate amount of defense spending.
There was the short-lived controversy during the gasoline crunch when neighbors complained that Denver the Environmentalist was hoarding thousands of gallons worth of fuel on his private Colorado estate. And where was his political concern when he was being so bland and loveable during stints as host of the. He counters that a part of the deal for the specials involved documentaries on serious topics--films that were made and won awards but few audiences. And in Missouri, that'd be barely legal.
Smith We know: How can a Saturday Night Live bandleader named after a power company qualify for this list? And -- come on -- was there any blond ponytail more ubiquitous than Smith's during his ten-year SNL run? Absolutely not -- homeboy played on every imaginable televised tribute concert, including Bob Dylan's, Live Aid and Farm Aid.
Indeed, where there was an Aid -- and a camera -- there was a blond ponytail, which Smith took great pains to flap across his face like a horse does with tail and ass.
The difference is Smith didn't even have to open his mouth to attain such reviled status; his "look at me! Well-to-do suburban white kids, that's who. And that's about it. Every song they write is overwrought and essentially intellectually dishonest. Everybody's got problems, to be sure, but we'd love to transplant this double entry two whiny weenies equal one man, by our count of pastoral crackers to the ghetto for a few decades.
Then we'll see if they continue to pump out the same prepubescent pussy bait that's gotten them this far. Fred Durst It doesn't matter whether or not you believe Durst's claim that he drilled Britney Spears six ways 'til Sunday; this rap-rock goofball is largely responsible for rock's darkest era: the late 90's Kid Rock, you can take a bow too.
Fortunately it looks like Durst's career is over. Otherwise, he'd likely outstrip Rzeznik for the sixth spot and would rank number one if this poll were more concerned with sonic proficiency. Bob Weir You can actually stop truckin' now, Bob. The Dead's insistence on staying on the road post-Jerry Garcia has proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the band was just a collection of semi-competent nerds with a prodigiously charismatic and talented frontman.
And "Rock Star Bobby" is the worst of the bunch, a bona fide gravy trainer who would've probably invited frequent guest Huey Lewis to join the band as a full-time harmonica player had Garcia not understandably kept his pink Izod-wearing ass in check. Weir's side project, Rat Dog, is basically a below-average bar band with a frontman who needs a teleprompter to remember his own lyrics.
With Garcia on the injured list for good , Weir stepped in to sing lead vocals on "Touch of Grey. Why he didn't just defecate on Jerry's headstone instead, we'll never know. Rounding out the Top Twenty: Scott Stapp. Rod Stewart. Phil Collins. Lenny Kravitz. Steve Miller. John Cougar Mellencamp. Michael McDonald. Max Weinberg. Lars Ulrich. Posters average k in size. Information is power. He never told anyone this; John seemed rather shy and certainly not a name-dropper!
We knew John as solid, down to earth, soooo funny, genuinely friendly, showed great artistic talent, had a beautiful smile and a beautiful voice. I was so very sad to learn years later of his untimely death.
The gifts of his music will live forever…. From a fellow student that feels lucky to have known him, even if so ever briefly, Linda McCauley. I am sure like any person he had his plus and minus points, but from what I have read of those who claim to have known him, he was a good guy and one who cared. One thing is irrefutable he was an amazing musician and song writer. I for one will miss his performances and often wonder what he still had to give his followers.
But all said and done he has left a wonderful library of his music to enjoy. RIP John. I drew up a will at 50 when my friends started dropping like flies. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.

Everyone needs a will. I did not know that. I had read the Wall Street Journal about 10 years ago The article was on Bernie Maddoff the man in Palm Beach Florida who ran a scam business with people investing their money with him They listed the top 10 losers John Denver Enterprizes was listed 4 in losing the most money four hundred and twenty nine million dollars Loading I still miss him. Just a plain fan who misses him seeing together with his first wife Annie forever. Because all their songs tend to be about problems we normal folk go through, right?
Thankfully, not all country music celebs are like that. Most are sweethearts who want nothing more than to make their fan base happy and not only provide good music but a lovely and enduring presence as well. Here are 10 country singers who are complete sweeties, and 10 who need to take some etiquette lessons on being polite.
Brooks is known for greeting fans who come up to him and giving them his full attention. He seems to be a regular laugh riot, which is refreshing. Not only does he make excellent music, but he can have fans laughing their rears off in no time flat.
Both Madison Marlow and Taylor Dye go by the duo name Maddie and Tae and met when they both were going to the same vocal coach in Dallas. They became fast friends and then turned their singing act into a career following high school. And it shows all the time in her Instagram feed.
