FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) -- Police responding to a complaint of loud noise have cited a Fond du Lac man for "rocking out" to the music of John Denver.

Everyone knows it's not actually possible to "rock out" to John Denver.

9. I don't know about homicide, but
about 8 years ago when one of my nieces was a baby, my sister could only get her to go go sleep by playing John Denver songs.

I told my mom that my sis should be reported for child abuse.... :7
