I heard that John Denver got a 5 minute standing ovation the first time he performed that song live. 
I can't find the full video anymore, but this is a rough audio cassette, no doubt, from 1980 at the dedication of our new football stadium. Gov Jay Rockefeller, originally from NY, was there with Sen Byrd. It's funny how the crowd cheered for Denver, but listen when he introduced the politician. Boooo🗣️🏈🗣️🗣️BOOOOO!!!

@JimmyTheLock
I missed this post jimmy. So I will address it and take into consideration what you say, because you seemed concerned about us secular music folk.
I listened to the sex pistols, Motorhead and led zep growing up and all the way to Eminem and wham, did it prepare or cause me to die my hair pink, smoke dope, flunk school, visit gay clubs or fight with my neighbours?. There was never I time I prayed back then and said..."my God, what is the cause of all this, my natural sinful nature or the music? But now I am saved and I can now ask, I can at least say for sure that my sinful nature came first because of what the Bible says, and that music can be an outpouring of the sinful nature, sure, but as for conditioning me, I can only see that it is the LOVE, (or craving) of secular music that would be the root of any sin. Not the music itself.
Pretty much like the wrong saying that money is the root of all evil. it's not. it's the LOVE of money. The craving.
There is a type of music, actually that is addictive to me, and that is the crappy trance music that is repetitive and without lyrics and sends me into a spaced out prayer less and mindless mode that has become fashionable and played at raves. It boots God right out of the picture because it hijacks my Jesus Gene.
Now, if I ever find I am desiring and craving any secular music over Prayer, God and His Word, I hope and pray I will become concerned because I am currently practising to become a music producer.
Blessings brother.

Just throwing out some advice I found in God's Word that we reap what we sow... if one sows darkness into their minds then they will become dark and be deceived to that darkness claiming it's all good up in they hood... when it's not.
Each person has to decide for themselves if they are going to be led by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ... Who Jesus said the Holy Ghost would lead us in to ALL Truth (John 16:13), and Jesus said God's Word IS Truth (John 17:17)
Or, if they are going to allow the forces of darkness to lead them.
I too grew up as a hippie, leading a life of hedonism having grown up in the 70s and 80s... been there done that, and it's imperative that one lives as an over comer of the things of this world in order to be in right standing with the Lord if they desire to spend eternity with Him.
Not sure bout everyone else, but I got tired of demons pushing me around... so now, where my life is concerned, I push them around by abiding IN Christ thru the authority of Jesus Christ. There's no darkness IN Christ, so secular music is not found in this place of peace and contentment.

It was supposed to be released to the theaters 10-23.
The next week or so it was already pulled from our local ones. That's why I only saw it once. We'll just have to buy the DVD.
I don't want to spoil it for you.
There were so many connections I had with the first two that it would fill many pages to describe. The third one reminded me of why I was born in America. I'll just say that my grandfather had something to do with it concerning an experience in another part of Italy. He died before I was born, but I was told what happened. That movie was a special gift to me that reminded me of my heroic grandpa and my heritage.
