[edit] Trivia

How is John Denver's death an irony? It may be interesting trivia that Denver, who sang a popular song about air travel, died in an air accident -- but it's not ironic. Perhaps if he had written a song about how air travel made him feel alive ... but "Leaving on a Jet Plane" is farewell song before departing on a journey. Perhaps if Denver had crusaded for air travel safety. Merely writing a song about a jet plane and then dying 30 years later in a small plane accident doesn't qualify as irony. 66.17.118.207 13:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Point taken. The remark in question has been removed from the article. --Cheers, Folajimi (leave a note) 19:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
