5/10 not bad considering I couldn't stand JD, put simply he was a square. Is using the word "square" square?

4/10, pony's a showoff, lol
10/10. Started listening to John Denver in the mid-1970s and never stopped. Not only knew all the songs referenced in this quiz, but could sing them without prompting. Denver was underappreciated by the critics as a songwriter and artist but his fans knew then - and know now - he was something special.
7/10 Amazingly, there were a couple of songs I wasn't familiar with. I'm a big John Denver fan, so now I'll have to go find them!
I'm from West Virginia and they play Country Roads at every WVU home game.
It's actually one of the state songs.
And he didn't have any particular state in mind when he wrote the song but he needed a state with four syllables. Like West Virginia ( and I know technically it has five syllables but no one pronounces it like that around here)

6/10–I thought I knew Denver’s songs. I didn’t recognize several. Surprised I did so poorly. 😔
7/10 A couple of lucky guesses.
6/10. The John Denver - Mama Cass Leaving On A Jet Plane duet from I think Midnight Special is phenomenal.
7/10
Some friends and I saw John Denver in concert back in the 70’s. It was a great performance.

5/10…😲 that’s not very good
May not know the lyrics to many of his songs, but I sure respect the like the man. He was just a good fellow.
Although sometimes when I look at him I think of Cousin Oliver.
I purposely got #4 wrong, because even though I knew the answer couldn't possibly be "Madison, WI." I mean, who would ever sing about Madison? I picked it because of the "like being nowhere at all" line. It certainly is nowhere. A bunch of nobodies, with their nothing "education" at the University ranked as one of the "best party schools"(what a distinction, huh?!) while wallowing in a cesspool of their own making in the middle of an otherwise beautiful state(okay, Milwaukee and Beloit could use some work, too. At least they have an excuse... they are too near Illinois.).

Cousin Oliver immediately comes to mind with me too!
I did too ! When I first saw Oliver, I thought is that John Denvers kid ? 7 out of 10 for me.
Who would sing about West Virginia?
It's easily his most popular song!

🎵Just two lonely truckers from Great Falls, Montana and a salesman from places unknown...🎶
6/10 not too bad.
10/10 take that!
3/10 yikes
