Things to do to John Denver When He’s Dead

by William Ham

  1. Smoke his ashes for a real Rocky Mountain High!
  2. Stuff his carcass and cast him in Jim (“It’s Not Easy Being Green, Filled With Formaldehyde, and Rigor Mortised”) Henson’s The Muppets Take the Mortuary.
  3. Reunite him with George Burns for the Nietszchean comedy, Oh, God is Dead!
  4. Use him as an exhibit in the newly-constructed Folksinging Pussies Hall of Fame.
  5. Enlist Oliver Stone to make a bio-pic which insinuates that his death was the result of a conspiracy between the CIA, the mob, and a band of vigilante rock critics.
