Mellencamp Asks McCain to Stop Using Tunes

I prefer "Small Town."

I like that also.

I remember seeing Charlie Rose interview Mellencamp on an old late night program years ago (he was just John Cougar then), and after showing clips of his video for "It Hurts So Good" involving references to S & M, Rose asked him if it was appropriate for his then 7 or 8 year old daughter to see that performance.  As MTV was just a couple years old then and there was some concern about what children were getting exposed to, it was a legitimate question.  Mellencamp could not answer the question, got visibly upset, removing his microphone and left the set.  Today, the interviewer would probably be condemned as a religious extremist  trying to impose some sort of "dark ages values" on a gifted poet.

I like what Kevin Smith has to say about that( paraphrased) :my daughters college fund was built on curse words and she is not impressed with them.

Great song~ Mellencamp has been a pleasure to watch mature as an artist.

He has always been outspoken. But now he is just crotchety.

I remember thinking when Chestnut Street Incident came out he was going to be a big star.

Then Nothin' Matters And What If It Did came out and I knew for sure.

Jealousy is such an ugly emotion.

I agree. Your point?

My favorite USA song is Woodie Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land", possibly because of all of the really raunchy unauthorized verses that my great Uncles taught me and my brother on fishing trips when I was a kid (The song is so simple just about anyone can add a verse of his liking.)   In any evert, my favorite verse is

As I was walkin'
I saw a sign there
And that sign said no trespassin'
But on the other side
It didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
 

I wish HRC would have played "Momma's Got A Squeeze Box" as her rally song...

Spam code- HRC WA.... I swear!  

He's matured enough and gone hitless long enough to be eligible for an appearance at the Budweiser Pavillion soon.

drill~ I must have .listened to that song 1000 times,other than the bite me to my bones bit....never picked up on the "S&M" references ..thanks.

and gone hitless long enough

One of his last albums went platium.

Ted Nugent can only dream of such success.

BTW, anyone know how many tickets Nugent sold for tonight's concert?

the Charlie Rose incident was just a urban rumor and never happened.

LOL~ i was having trouble seeing drill watching Rose....

There's always hope.. but I'm a cynic.
