Rocky Mountain High is now official :)

"DENVER — "Rocky Mountain High," the late John Denver's love letter to his adopted state, has became Colorado's second official song.

Lawmakers passed a resolution that puts Denver's 1972 anthem alongside the lesser-known "Where the Columbines Grow," which was adopted in 1915.

Ron Deutschendorf, Denver's brother, called the move "very cool. He'd be very honored. We are very proud. I am going to call my mom and tell her." John Denver was born Henry John Deutschendorf and he changed his name in 1969.

Sen. Bob Hagedorn, who pushed for the second tune, said "Rocky Mountain High" has been an unofficial state song for years and has introduced many people around the world to Colorado.

Hagedorn said some people believe the song is about drug use, but he disagreed. Hagedorn, who said he is a recovering alcoholic and serves on the board of the state's largest drug treatment facility, said he would not promote a song that encouraged drug use."

Yeah, right, whatever.. he obviously didn't know John or remember the 70s.. mush have smoked himself stupid :)
