You have to admire a guy who tells his record company that " this is a working album " . Strap your boots on and go to work ! Gotta love it . When guys like this pour their heart and soul into their lyrics and music, it's going to be good . I'm often taken back by the way that guys like him can put what seems to be the most simple issues into song lyrics and they make the most cynical people sit up and take notice . In todays world we NEED people like John Mellencamp to shine a little light on some major issues that are tearing our country apart . Race, Government corruption , Greed, the list goes on ! Hats off to you Sir for a career of speaking for the people that don't have a voice !

I first hear John's music when I was around 12 years old and it was my father who had Hurts so good on in his garage. From that first taste of his music, I was hooked. And despite the amount of music that he has come out with, it seems that hardly anyone has heard of him in the uk. With very rare broadcasts on BBC radio 2 of just the 1 song of 'Jack & Diane'. John mellencamp is by far my favourite artist of all time past, present and will definitely be future for me.

UGH, I LOVE JOHN, I am originally from central Indiana and admire John for not ending up in the Hollywood cesspool, I believe he is now living on Monroe Lake near Bloomington. I still love your music and it makes me nostalgic for my indy home.

John threw a bucket of water on me one time. Long story. Also, the silver Corvette you can see for all of 3 seconds parked next to the gas station in Pink Houses was mine after John traded it in for I believe a new Jaguar. I used to drive it to Bloomington all the time and it wouldn't be long before a car full of girls started following me around. My hair was pretty long at the time and I was just a couple years younger than John, so I don't know who they thought I was, but they thought I was somebody. One time I took the car to a local drag strip, Brown County Dragway and raced it against a few cars. Sadly, I beat a guy who had a brand new 1985 Mustang GT, which i liked a lot. It ran 9.70's in the 1/8th mile. I got to know Toby, his bass player. He had originally played bass with a band called Roadmaster which had some success. If you search on here for 'Toby Myers live at Players Pub'. that is a video i did a while back. Nothing professional, just for fun. Toby had an album called 'Big in Japan' and John recorded a song he wrote once. Everyone I met was really nice.

The reason John Mellencamp was called John Cougar was due to his first manager, Tony DeFries (formerly David Bowie's manager), not taking a liking to Mellencamp's surname, believing it to be too ethnic and therefore hinted that nobody would buy a record by a man with that name; John himself did not like being called "Johnny" as he was never addressed as such in his early life. Chestnut Street Incident, released in 1976, failed to make an impact regardless (critics at the time had derided him for being a Bruce Springsteen knockoff), and MCA Records, which handled U.S. marketing and manufacture of Chestnut Street Incident, refused to accept his second album, The Kid Inside (initially scheduled for a 1977 release), which DeFries would release on his own in 1983 after the success of Mellencamp's American Fool album that came out the year before. Mellencamp then moved to England, hoping for better success, and signed to Riva Records, which was run by his new manager Billy Gaff, who also managed Rod Stewart's solo career. A Biography was his first album for that label, released in 1978 and distributed by PolyGram Records, but was not released in this form in the U.S. In 1979, after "I Need a Lover" took off in Australia (as well as a subsequent cover version by Pat Benatar having success in the U.S.), Riva Records then released A Biography in the U.S., but it was retitled simply John Cougar and having a different track listing. Neither this album nor his next one, 1980's Nothin' Matters and What If It Did, had any significant chart impact and he was pressured to come up with another hit album or risk being dropped by the label... his 1982 album American Fool would change all that, with the successes of "Hurts So Good" and "Jack and Diane," the latter being his first and only Hot 100 number 1 hit to date; the album itself was also Mellencamp's only number 1 album to date. His 1983 album, Uh-Huh, was the first one on which he assumed the name John Cougar Mellencamp (Mellencamp being his real surname). This extended moniker would continue on his next three albums (1985's Scarecrow, 1987's The Lonesome Jubilee and 1989's Big Daddy), before he finally dropped Cougar from his stage name for good in 1991, the year Whenever We Wanted was released.
