I was thinking the same thing. That John Denver’s full of shit, man.
Y’know, one day Tito Puente will be dead, and you’ll say, “Oh, yes, I’ve been listening to his work for years.”
John, you’re a bore. We’ve heard this before.
Peter, don’t you know what you have said? You’ve gone and cut him dead.
I’m Peter, the goat general. Who are you?
Roger, the shrubber.
Hoist the Jolly Roger!
Where’s my pirating outfit?
Where is my super suit?
If you’re nothing without the suit, then you shouldn’t have it.
Manners maketh man.
That is because I am a miserable, grumpy elitist - and that works for me!
I have a name and a reputation! Somewhat tattered, perhaps. But still good for dinner invitations and summer seminars.

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today.
Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money…
I don’t care about losing all the money. It’s losing all the stuff.

And that’s it and that’s the only thing I need, is this. I don’t need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that’s all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that’s all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that’s all I need. And that’s all I need too. I don’t need one other thing, not one - I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that’s all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.
I need lighter fluid.
