I don't think he would've been a John Denver (sorry John - you
were good, but you weren't Jesus) - but I think he would've been
part of an Underground band - sneered at by the locals ("no man
is a prophet is his home town") but gaining in popularity
elsewhere. But afterwards, his bandmates would have sent out
bumper stickers, flyers, refrigerator magnets, been on youtube,
facebook and yes - even ...myspace - put out AdWords ads on
Google, had the emblems on sneakers, hats and t-shirts - and
gotten followers to do the same - secret code words.. and have a
whole legion of young folks saying, "They just don't understand
us." The radio stations wouldn't play the songs because of their
anti-establishment ways, but they'd be passed around just the
same."
