John wasn't awesome, he IS awesome!  I've watched literally hundreds of hours of him playing live and I have yet to find any concert where he wasn't spot-on perfect the whole gig.  The man is a musical machine!

I remember listening to this one when I was young. Really good traveling song with the whole family singing it.

Grandma's Feather Bed was pretty funny.

For all the disrespect the "Singer/Songwriters" of the past got....

They sure sold a boatload of albums.

Don't forget when his stuff was playing on Top 40 stations he was labeled a "crossover" artist from country.  Only a handful have done that.

To you maybe.   

He's made more dead than all of us combined.   Not to mention he was an accomplished pilot.  He also had single-engine land and sea, multi-engine land, glider, and instrument ratings, not to mention ratings for a Learjet.

IIRC, he testified with Frank Zappa and Dee Snider on the issue of "Censorship".

Mentioned that earlier.  I like his music, listened to so much of it as a kid I guess I burnt out on some of his stuff.  But standing up against those a-holes (wasn't it al gore or dan quayle's wives?) against censoring music is an inspiration.

The VH1 movie they made about it was funny too.
