pos: John Denver Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. ( December 31 , 1943 -- October 12 , 1997 ) , known professionally as John Denver , an American musician , singer-songwriter , record producer , activist , actor , and humanitarian , whose greatest commercial success was as a solo singer . After traveling and living in numerous locations while growing up in his military family , Denver began his music career with folk music groups during the late 1960s . Starting in the 1970s , he was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling artists . By 1974 , he was firmly established as America 's best selling performer , and AllMusic has described Denver as `` among the most beloved entertainers of his era '' .   Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs , about 200 of which he composed , with total record sales of over 33 million . He recorded and performed primarily with an acoustic guitar and sang about his joy in nature , his disdain for city life , his enthusiasm for music , and his relationship trials . Denver 's music appeared on a variety of charts , including country music , the Billboard Hot 100 , and adult contemporary , in all earning him twelve gold and four platinum albums with his signature songs `` Take Me Home , Country Roads '' , `` Annie 's Song '' , `` Rocky Mountain High '' , `` Thank God I 'm a Country Boy '' , and `` Sunshine on My Shoulders '' .   Denver starred in films and several notable television specials in the 1970s and 1980s . He continued to record in the 1990s , also focusing on environmental issues by lending vocal support to space exploration and testifying in front of Congress in protest against censorship in music . He lived in Aspen , Colorado for much of his life and was known for his love of Colorado which he sang about numerous times . In 1974 Denver was named poet laureate of the state . The Colorado state legislature also adopted `` Rocky Mountain High '' as one of its two state songs in 2007 . Denver was an avid pilot and died at the age of 53 in a single-fatality crash of his personal experimental aircraft .

neg: He Was a Friend of Mine `` He Was a Friend of Mine '' is a traditional folk song in which the singer laments the death of a friend . The earliest known version of the song is titled `` Shorty George '' ( Roud 10055 ) and was first recorded by musicologist couple John A. and Ruby Terrill Lomax in 1939 at the Clemens State Farm in Brazoria County , Texas in a version performed by African-American inmate Smith Casey , who accompanied himself on guitar .

neg: Hot Rod Lincoln `` Hot Rod Lincoln '' is a song by American singer-songwriter Charlie Ryan , first released in 1955 . It was written as an answer song to Arkie Shibley 's 1951 hit `` Hot Rod Race '' which describes a race in San Pedro , Los Angeles between two hot rod cars , a Ford and a Mercury , which stay neck-and-neck until both are overtaken by `` a kid in a hopped-up Model A '' . `` Hot Rod Lincoln '' is sung from the perspective of this third driver , whose own hot rod is a Ford Model A body with a Lincoln-Zephyr V12 engine , overdrive , a four-barrel carburetor , 4:11 gear ratio , and safety tubes .   Ryan 's original rockabilly version of the song was released in 1955 through Souvenir Records under the artist name Charley Ryan and the Livingston Bros. . A second version was released in 1959 through Four Star Records , credited to Charlie Ryan and the Timberline Riders . Ryan based the description of the eponymous car on his own hot rod , built from a 1948 12-cylinder Lincoln chassis shortened two feet , with a 1930 Ford Model A body fitted to it . Ryan raced his hot rod against a Cadillac sedan driven by a friend in Lewiston , Idaho , driving up the Spiral Highway ( former U.S. Route 95 in Idaho ) to the top of Lewiston Hill ; he incorporated elements from this race in his lyrics to `` Hot Rod Lincoln '' , but changed the setting to Grapevine Hill ( a long , nearly straight grade up Grapevine Canyon to Tejon Pass , near the town of Gorman , California ) to fit it within the narrative of `` Hot Rod Race '' .   A cover version of `` Hot Rod Lincoln '' was recorded by country musician Johnny Bond and released in 1960 through Republic Records , with Bond 's lyrics changing the hot rod 's engine from a V12 to a V8 . Bond released a sequel in the same year called `` X-15 '' , set in 1997 , about an air race in an X-15 plane .

neg: John Mellencamp John J Mellencamp ( born October 7 , 1951 ) , also known as John Cougar Mellencamp , is an American musician , singer-songwriter , painter , and actor . He is known for his catchy , populist brand of heartland rock , which emphasizes traditional instrumentation . Mellencamp rose to superstardom in the 1980s while `` honing an almost startlingly plainspoken writing style that , starting in 1982 , yielded a string of Top 10 singles , '' including `` Hurts So Good , '' `` Jack & Diane , '' `` Crumblin ' Down , '' `` Pink Houses , '' `` Lonely Ol' Night , '' `` Small Town , '' `` R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. , '' `` Paper in Fire , '' and `` Cherry Bomb . '' He has amassed 22 Top 40 hits in the United States . In addition , he holds the record for the most tracks by a solo artist to hit number one on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart , with seven , and has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards , winning one . Mellencamp released his latest album , Sad Clowns & Hillbillies , on April 28 , 2017 , to widespread critical acclaim .   Mellencamp is also one of the founding members of Farm Aid , an organization that began in 1985 with a concert in Champaign , Illinois , to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land . Farm Aid concerts have remained an annual event over the past 32 years , and as of 2017 the organization has raised over $ 50 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture .   Mellencamp was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10 , 2008 . His biggest musical influences are Bob Dylan , Woody Guthrie , James Brown , Buddy Holly and the Rolling Stones . Said longtime Rolling Stone contributor Anthony DeCurtis : `` Mellencamp has created an important body of work that has earned him both critical regard and an enormous audience . His songs document the joys and struggles of ordinary people seeking to make their way , and he has consistently brought the fresh air of common experience to the typically glamour-addled world of popular music . ''   The late Billboard magazine editor-in-chief Timothy White said in 2001 :   Johnny Cash called Mellencamp `` one of the 10 best songwriters '' in music .

neg: Country Music Association The Country Music Association ( CMA ) was founded in 1958 in Nashville , Tennessee .

neg: Fisher & Fisher Fisher & Fisher was an architectural firm based in Denver , Colorado named for partners William Ellsworth Fisher ( 1871 -- 1937 ) and Arthur Addison Fisher ( 1878 -- 1965 ) .   The firm was founded in 1892 by William Ellsworth Fisher as William Fisher , Architect . After ten years in practice alone , mainly designing starter homes , he partnered with Daniel Riggs Huntington from 1901 to 1905 as Fisher & Huntington , during which time the firm designed increasingly expensive residences and also commercial buildings . The firm then once more became William Fisher , Architect until 1907 , when William was joined by his younger brother Arthur Addison Fisher ; they worked together as William Fisher Architect and Brother until 1910 and then as William E. Fisher and Arthur A. Fisher , Architects until William 's death in 1937 . William 's son Alan B. Fisher , who had previously joined the firm , then became his uncle 's partner and the firm was renamed Arthur A. Fisher and Alan B. Fisher , Architects . From 1956 to 1959 they were joined by Rodney S. Davis as Fisher , Fisher and Davis ; on Arthur 's retirement the firm became Fisher and Davis . Finally beginning in 1967 , Alan Fisher was in partnership with John D. Reece and Hilary M. Johnson as Fisher , Reece and Johnson until his retirement in 1978 .   In Colorado , the firm worked on dozens of notable buildings , and has left a legacy unique in the state . Of 67 surviving buildings in Denver identifiable as being by Fisher & Fisher , 50 are either listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places ( NRHP ) , individually or as part of historic districts , or are eligible for listing . Although most work by Fisher & Fisher was in Denver , buildings by them elsewhere in the state and outside it are also listed . For example , William and Arthur Fisher planned the town of Parco , Wyoming ( now Sinclair ) and designed its public buildings .   The Fisher brothers were unusually innovative , and the firm 's buildings are in a variety of styles . The Railway Exchange Addition of 1909/13 and the connected Railway Exchange New Building of 1937 ( now the Hotel Monaco ) in downtown Denver show contrasting styles by the same firm . The New Building , by Fisher , Fisher & Hubbell , is one of Denver 's best Art Moderne works , although the architects denied at the time that it was `` modernistic '' .   In April 2011 one of their works , the Cowperthwaite home , was the 2011 Denver Designer Show House , a fundraiser involving interior decorators prior to the house coming to market .   Among lost works by the firm are the Lafayette Hughes and Gerald Hughes mansions .

neg: Spanish Peaks The Spanish Peaks are a pair of prominent mountains located in southwestern Huerfano County , Colorado . The Ute Indians named them Huajatolla ( pronounced Wa-ha-toy-a ) , meaning `` two breasts '' or `` breasts of the Earth '' .   The two peaks , West Spanish Peak ( 13,626 feet or 4,153 meters ) and East Spanish Peak ( 12,683 feet or 3,866 meters ) , are east of , and separate from , the Culebra Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains . West Spanish Peak is the easternmost mountain over 4,000 meters in the United States .   The Spanish Peaks were formed by two separate shallow ( or hypabyssal ) igneous intrusions during the Late-Oligocene epoch of the Paleogene Period . West Spanish Peak is an older ( 24.59 + / - 0.13 Ma ) quartz syenite while East Spanish Peak ( 23.36 + / - 0.18 Ma ) is composed of granite and granodiorite porphyry .   The Spanish Peaks were designated a National Natural Landmark in 1976 as one of the best known examples of igneous dikes .   They were an important landmark on the Santa Fe Trail . The mountains can be seen as far north as Colorado Springs ( 133 mi ) , as far west as Alamosa ( 85 mi ) , points south to Raton , New Mexico ( 65 mi ) , and points east of Trinidad ( up to 15 mi ) .   The Spanish Peaks Wilderness area of 17,855 acres ( 72.3 km2 ) encompasses the summits of both Spanish peaks . Hiking is popular in the wilderness area .

neg: Eastonville, Colorado Eastonville was a town in eastern Colorado from c. 1880-1935 . It is no longer incorporated . The area in which it occupied is now taken over by urban sprawl from Colorado Springs . The former town limits now reside in El Paso County , in the Colorado Springs metro area , near Black Forest .   The area around Eastonville began settlement around 1872 when a post office was established a mile to the south of its eventual location on Squirrel Creek . The area was located in the Black Forest of Colorado and was found to be suitable for potato farming and many pioneers homesteaded in the vicinity . In 1881 the Denver and New Orleans Railroad ( later the Colorado and Southern Railway ) laid their tracks through the area and created a stop named `` McConnellsville '' near what is now Eastonville ; this was the main standard gauge line from Colorado Springs to Denver until the 3-foot-gauge Denver and Rio Grande was 3-railed . Shortly after , in 1883 , the area post office was moved north and named `` Easton '' for a local pioneer , John Easton . The town soon became Eastonville . At the behest of the railroad , the town moved a short distance to its current site .   By the 1900s the town had 350-500 people . It had three churches , three hotels , a newspaper , a school house , race track , ball field , and many businesses . Nine to ten passenger trains passed through everyday , and with at least that many freight trains using the tracks a constant rolling of locomotives could be heard day and night in the burgeoning city . It had become the self-proclaimed `` potato capital of the world '' and some years could n't find enough workers to harvest the crops . Colorado Springs newspapers would print large advertisements offering work at respectable wages on the potato farms of Eastonville . It was one of the most prosperous farm centers in eastern Colorado that are now ghost towns .   Eastonville continued as a stable town until the 1930s when drought and depression hit the west . In 1935 the area endured a potato blight and a flood which washed away many buildings in Elbert , the next town north on the railroad ; the railroad was then abandoned . The town could n't recover without the railroad , especially since Peyton ( 6 miles away ) still had the Rock Island railroad . Although little remains but a few buildings and the cemetery , as of May 2013 the United States Board on Geographic Names still lists Eastonville as a populated place .   As the town died , the Eastonville school district was merged into the Peyton School District 23jt . Eastonville is , however , in the Falcon fire district .

neg: Emil Fischer (cartographer) Emil B. Fischer ( 1838 or 1839 in Dresden , Saxony -- September 23 , 1898 in Silverton , Colorado ) published six detailed maps of the San Juan area of southwestern Colorado between 1883 and 1898 . A surveyor 's son , he came to America around 1872 . He moved to Durango in 1880 when the building of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway to the San Juan attracted widespread attention , then to Silverton . These maps aided silver and gold prospectors to file their claims ; they enabled investors to locate mines and view their proximity to famous neighboring mines ; and they encouraged tourists to visit the depicted mining regions and invigorate the local economies .   This quiet , unobtrusive German immigrant made many mountain-climbing pilgrimages for his meticulous drawings of San Juan and adjacent counties , which he subsequently transferred to maps that were as attractive as they were functional . Fischer drew his finished maps , even the text elements , entirely by hand before engraving and printing , distinguishing them from the typeset variety that came before and after . They are scrupulously correct in detail and were regarded as authoritative for many years . The complex terrain of the San Juan area , characterized by precipitous peaks ranging from 11,000 to 14,000 feet , rugged passes , deep gorges , alpine valleys , and glacial basins , rendered accurate maps indispensable for miners and created a niche for this cartographer .   Following are descriptions of Fischer 's six maps :   1 . 1883 , `` Map of the San Juan Mining Districts . '' It includes insets with plats of the towns of Durango , Silverton , and Rico . The scale is one inch to three miles .   2 . 1886 , `` Map of Red Mountain and the Mining Region of San Juan , Ouray , San Miguel and Dolores Counties . '' A small inset shows the system of wagon roads connecting the towns of Telluride and Ouray with Montrose . The scale is one inch to one mile .   3 . 1891 , `` Map of Red Mountain and the Mining Region of San Juan , Ouray , San Miguel and Dolores Counties , '' intended to update its predecessor with the identical name and scale . Inset plats focus on these three mining locales : Newman Hill at Rico , the Red Mountain Area north of Silverton , and Silver Lake in Arrastra Basin , east of Silverton . The map shows the locations of hundreds of the San Juan Region 's named mines and placers and may constitute a comprehensive compilation .   4 . 1893 , `` Map of Southwestern Colorado . '' The scale is one inch to four miles . It covers the huge expanse of this part of the state as well as northwestern New Mexico and southeastern Utah . Insets portray plats of Durango , southwestern Colorado 's California Mining District , and the Needle Mountain Mines between Durango and Silverton , as well as the network of railroad systems reaching Durango from Cheyenne , Denver , Salt Lake City , Albuquerque , and Phoenix .   5 . 1894 , `` Map of the Mineral Section of San Miguel County , '' attached to a booklet published by the Telluride Board of Trade , based on his 1891 map , showing this county only with the scale of one inch to one mile .   6 . 1898 , `` The Principal Mining Section of San Juan County . '' This map updates Fischer 's 1891 map , but smaller in scope , with a superlative scale of one and a half inches to one mile .   Fischer produced these six maps , except the 1894 and possibly the 1898 , as `` pocket maps , '' i.e. , they came folded and packaged in printed enclosures for safe , easy transport .   The public may view originals of these maps at a number of locations in the U.S. , principally in Colorado . The Denver Public Library houses all six . Other locations include the Colorado School of Mines , Colorado College , Fort Lewis College , University of Colorado-Denver , Pike 's Peak Library District , San Juan County Historical Society Archives , Yale University , Columbia University-City of New York , Brigham Young University , the University of Nevada-Reno , University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign , Southern Methodist University , Autry Institute for the Study of the American West , and the Library of Congress .   Fischer 's artistic gifts bore fruit through his paintings and sketches as well as his maps . The most famous , painted in 1895 , depicts Francis Marion Snowden 's cabin , the first in Baker 's Park , where Silverton now stands . In 2013 the San Juan County Historical Society acquired this painting for its Silverton museum .   In late-2014 , color images of Fischer 's six maps , his 1895 painting , and his grave marker will be available on the Mining History Association 's website : www.mininghistoryassociation.org .   Emil B. Fischer died September 23 , 1898 , at the age of 59 , of `` paralysis of the heart . '' He collapsed on the sidewalk in front of the First National Bank of Silverton , where he had just transacted business . Reportedly his only known survivor was a sister in Dresden .   Although the details of his decline are poorly documented , it appears Emil Fischer died alone and relatively poor despite his notable abilities . His six maps and his paintings showcase the rich mining history of the San Juan . Unlike the maps of his predecessors , contemporaries , or the USGS that followed , his combined aesthetic flair with accurate cartography , making his work unique and creating a market for it more than a century after he died . California rare-map dealer Barry Ruderman recently sold one of his 1893 maps for $ 6,500 .

In an attempt to get back playing as soon as possible , Masters saw a number of experts , ranging from sports science injury specialists to chiropractic physicians , none of whom could offer much help .

neg: Championship Cup Series The Championship Cup Series ( CCS ) is an American motorcycle racing sanctioning body . The American Sportbike Racing Association LLC is the parent company of CCS .   Headquartered in Fort Worth , Texas , CCS has been in operation since 1984 , founded by Roger Edmondson in Asheville , North Carolina . It is currently owned and operated by Kevin Elliott . CCS is one of the largest club level racing organizations in the U.S. , operating more than 60 sanctioned events each year at most of the nation 's premier motorsports road-course facilities .   CCS operates as multiple regions throughout the country , divided mostly by geography for both ease of administration and to allow participants to focus on one championship series for the region that is closest to them , which obviates the need for them to travel all over the country in pursuit of a championship . Doing so would make the pursuit of championships biased towards those racers who have the time and finances to travel widely .   CCS also partners with many other organizations to provide track days , practice dates , and additional racing classes ( e.g. , USGPRU ) during their event weekends .

neg: Tim Richmond Tim Richmond ( June 7 , 1955 -- August 13 , 1989 ) was an American race car driver from Ashland , Ohio . He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR 's Winston Cup Series . Richmond was one of the first drivers to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars full-time , which has since become an industry trend . He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons .   Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points . He won seven races that season , more than any other driver on the tour . When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987 , media reported that he had pneumonia . The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system , which was weakened by AIDS . Despite the state of his health , Richmond competed in eight races in 1987 , winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year . He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for excessive over-the-counter drugs , ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine ; NASCAR later announced they gave Richmond a new test and tested negative . Richmond filed a lawsuit against NASCAR after NASCAR insisted they wanted access to his entire medical record before they would reinstate him . After losing the lawsuit , Richmond withdrew from racing . NASCAR later stated their original test was a `` bad test . ''   Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a freewheeling lifestyle , earning him the nickname `` Hollywood '' . In describing Richmond 's influence in racing , Charlotte Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said , `` We 've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing . He was almost a James Dean-like character . '' When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace , `` He fell right in with the group working on the film , '' said director Hal Needham . Cole Trickle , the main character in the movie Days of Thunder , played by Tom Cruise , was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick .
