College professor JP McDaniels really loves her '70s folk singers, because she's collected over 2,300 signatures to name the eastern slope peak of Mt. Sopris in Colorado after John Denver. Naturally.
Her reasoning? He loved Colorado, he donated land to environmentalist causes, and his "Rocky Mountain High" was a really killer track. But I think she's really pushing the environmentalist angle mostly.
Folks in Colorado aren't as eager to jump on board with this idea, though, saying that pop culture has no place in naming mountains. That and, admittedly, they're not sure how they feel still about Oh, God.
