While speaking to Congress in 1985, he explained that his 1973 hit, now a state song, wasn’t about drugs
You mean it's not about drugs?😃

No more proof needed that we seem to have a penchant for electing idiots. And many of those idiots are still in Congress today.

:lol: I had the same reaction! And that song is one of West Virginia's four official state songs.
"Take Me Home, Country Roads" is about driving through the backwoods to the trailer where you make your meth. Obviously.

I was hoping that Sweet Leaf was a state song and that Ozzie Osborne had testified.

I got John Denver because I thought the song was Country Roads, Take Me Home. I read something recently about the song so it was pretty fresh in my mind. I'll take it.

For a bit of context: his 1985 testimony was about the proposal put forth by Tipper Gore and others to censor music to “eliminate offensive content.” It was no surprise when Frank Zappa so eloquently tore apart the logic of that proposal, but I am sure that many beside myself were surprised when milquetoast John Denver then testified in support of freedom of expression.

My precall game was off with James Taylor and Carole King.
John Denver was my precall, but it still took me a few seconds because I remembered the 1985 hearing and my first thought was Frank Zappa.

Not a lot of people realize that Alaska's state song is "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow".

Before I finished reading it, Zappa and Dee Snider were my thoughts.

Music of the '70's should be a strong-almost-wheelhouse category for me, but I've whiffed on the last three '70's music FJ!'s. I got stuck on James Taylor without any particular song in mind.

Taylor's version of that song was released in 1968. Interestingly, John Denver covered it on an album he released in 1970.

Is that what it was? Simply wasn't on the DVR. I assumed some local politician was bloviating somewhere. Golf? Might as well start pre-empting for Call me Kat reruns.

Locally, it Pre-empted both Wheel and J! But fortunately we get J! On a second station out of Indy that didn’t Pre-empt (not a CBS affiliate).

For what it’s worth, the Friday golf is a one off. The PGA Tour didn’t want to compete with the NFL Championship games on Sunday so the tournament started on Wednesday in order to finish on Saturday. So the 3rd round was shown on the appropriate affiliate as it normally would on Saturdays.
