John Denver has got international fame as a pop star, songwriter, actor and environmental activist ( 环境保护者). Songs like Take Me Home, Country Road, Rocky Mountain High and Annie's Song have become very popular.

In Take Me Home, John Denver talked about the story that shaped his life, with the story of the rich inner journey of a shy Midwestern boy.

It's like spending a few days with a good friend. 小题1:This passage is probably about .
