It was 1975…

and a very different world.

John Denver was in Alaska to film a television special in 1975, and someone thought: “Hey! Let’s have John run around a derelict mine!” In 1975, Kennecott Mines had not yet been listed as a National Historic Landmark, so I’m guessing Denver was not the only individual to run across the rooftops. One more item on the lists of things not allowed today.

The music added to the video was from a 1981 John Denver concert. Song credit, of course, goes to Hall of Famer Chuck Berry.


“Don’t let the same dog bite you twice.”
— Chuck Berry


RIP Mr Berry


The Father of Rock & Roll

Happy 90th birthday to Chuck Berry. A truly one of a kind artistic talent, whose wonderful, visual lyrics and guitar prowess transformed multiple generations.

To paraphrase Bruce Springsteen: “You may have never seen a ‘coffee-colored Cadillac’, but you know exactly what one looks like.”
