Colorado now has a second official song, "Rocky Mountain High," by John Denver.
I've never been a huge John Denver fan (though I really liked Peter, Paul, and Mary's vesion of "Leaving on a Jet Plane"). Mainly I didn't like the fact that he co-opted the state's image for commercial purposes.
Still, reading the lyrics of the song, and occasionally hearing it on the radio, I have to admit it is very appropriate. It does capture the essence of what many of us feel for the state. Outdoors, mountains, love of life, etc.
