Ballad of the Mile High Mishap: Hank Jr.'s Cautionary Tale
The culprit behind this phrase is none other than the country music icon, Hank Williams Jr. Back in 1979, he belted out a tune titled "OD'd in Denver". Yep, you read that right. It's a catchy little number (though maybe not for the faint of heart) about a musician who, well, meets an unfortunate end in the Mile High City after succumbing to a drug overdose.
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
Now, before you start picturing tumbleweeds rolling past crime scenes, it's important to remember this is a song, not a documentary. Denver shouldn't be blacklisted as some perilous place for musicians.
