"Rocky Mountain High" for Colorado's State Song?

So apparently a member of the Colorado General Assembly thinks John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" should be the state song of Colorado.

Of course, there's this disclaimer:

The Colorado General Assembly wants to be quite clear on this point: When the singer-songwriter John Denver praised the joys of Colorado and sang about “friends around the campfire, and everybody’s high,” in 1972, he was not referring to illicit drugs.

“We could be talking about guys who’ve been fishing all day, or kids pigging out on s’mores, with the chocolate,” Senator Hagedorn said, referring to other endorphin-producing activities.

Riiiiighhhttt. John Denver was just writing about chocolate! And anyway, I'm not sure "pigging out on s'mores" is any more healthy or appropriate for a state song.

This whole thing reminds me of Robert Wuhl's stand-up comedy routine about people who wanted to make Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" the state song of New Jersey. I remind you that "Born to Run" contains these lyrics:

Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young

Well, ok, that might be pretty appropriate for New Jersey, but still....
