View Full Version : The chap in John Denver's 'Leaving on a Jet Aeroplane'; was he off to the 'Nam, do you think?

I always assumed so when I heard it on the radio as a child. Always looking for contrails, I was. Aeroplanes and the 'Nam seemed impossibly romantic.
Good times, the early 70s. A time when it was still possible to dream.

John had the right idea, he dodged the draft by disguising himself as Martina Navratalova.

Though when we touched down in Dublin a few weeks ago a handful or morons further back attempted to get a round of applause going.
My focus was 100% on not vomiting on the lady between me and the aisle.

Christ on a bike - even the Beatles lineup has to be politically correct these days

Clearly they have dropped it for simply the more discerning Irish customers.

He's no Glen Campbell, for example.
There are pleasing moments. A few pleasing moments.
