"Yeah, he was a real asshole," Cech replied. "He didn't feed the crew, and he wouldn't give us water. I don't know about all this 'love' crap. Let's just say he was a difficult artist to work for."Comments about Denver do not get more tender as you move closer to the people who knew him best. In Aspen, outside the town's annual celebration, he tends to provoke lukewarm reactions - which might explain why the celebration is organised largely by outsiders.As the obituaries mentioned at great length five years ago, his life was far from a non-stop exercise in saintly love and purity. He was divorced twice, including from Australian wife Cassandra, and had severe problems with alcohol and drugs. Rocky Mountain High, he once admitted, was written under the influence of marijuana and LSD.His addictions made his passion for flying small planes distinctly hazardous, and indeed he almost died in 1989 when he crash-landed in northern Arizona and collided with another plane. (His licence was subsequently revoked, and had not been reinstated when he made his final, fatal plunge into the Pacific Ocean.) In the early 1990s, he was done for drunk-driving twice in two years, the second time after he crashed a Porsche into a tree.Perhaps the most notorious episode occurred during his first marriage when wife Annie had a favourite stand of oak trees chopped down. In revenge, he chopped a kitchen table in two and then the marital bed with a chainsaw.

John Denver with a cold is always innumerably times better than a modern shit singer
