I used to be so into John Denver. I had all his albums. I knew all the songs. Not just “Country Roads” and “Annie’s Song.” I knew all the words to “Toledo, Ohio,” and I would sing it on long road trips with my friends. I had those kinds of friends. And it’s a long way from Manawa, Wisconsin, to Gurnee, Illinois. Anyone remember what was in Gurnee, Illinois? Anyone? Anyone?
