I did not know Mellencamp was a Commie. I thought he was for America and stuff. I'm sure the farmers love being told what to do by the Government, How much to grow, what they can and can't grow.
@1pick2sticks He is for America. That's why he's a liberal, and that's why he has done things like organize Farm Aid with Willie Nelson and Neil Young. That's why he does what Johnny Cash did, sing songs advocating for the poor and middle class. If he was a Republican he'd sing songs praising big agribusiness and corporations like Wal Mart that have sold the American Dream to the lowest bidder, communist China.
back in the 80s when the record company made him use the name john cougar a lot of people thought that was a bad ass name. lol but i guess when a name is forced on you i can understand why he dumped the cougar part. but its still a cool nick name though. lol godbless.
Wheebill, have to agree with you. I love John's music since the 80's, including the new stuff. But most of his political views pain me. However, he's one of a few acts I'll pay to see in concert. He puts on a great show.
Great clip, thanks for posting! I am a big fan of Mellencamp and love this album. I also like Harry Smith he is one of the country's better newscasters. He is not your typical younger mannequin newscaster so common today he is a smart guy with actual thoughts, you know he's cool if he likes Mellencamp.
He was not elected. He was placed in office. Two weeks before the election day Time magazine had on their front cover the picture of Obama's wife. The caption on the cover stated: "Meet Your New First Lady!"
@wheebill Yeah it's so sad he's so brainwashed and full of white guilt!!! This guy's music is incredible or at least it used to be!!! But of course politically he's so fucked up!!! All these little sheople who voted for barrack hussein obama are regretting it now!!! That guy is plastic it's unbelievable!!! How sheople elected his fake ass is just ridiculous!!!
August 23, 2010...I saw John Mellencamp on television today in a Tavis Smiley interview..He looked so terrible I was taken aback. Is he still smoking?, is he ill?I know he's only 58..won't be 59 Until October.
Just found out This Idiot backs NO bama, I have destroyed all my CD's of him and am removing him from my Ipod. What a brainwashed hick. I used to like him, his music was great. Now he has lost his frickin mind. Wake up America.
@Arrow69hunter Here's an alert: The vast majority of musicians are more liberal, so most of them DO support a Democratic president. I would venture to say that if you knew the personal values of all of your favorite bands and singers, you would have to stop listening to about 95% of them.
@headstock48 You make a valid point. I am the exception to the rule. I am a musician and a strict constitutionalist. I am not Republican or Democrat anymore. I have lost all faith in our two party system. I am simply amazed how anyone could believe a single word that comes out of the mouths of politicians. Obama is just a joke being played on the world by the powers that control all!
Wake up america? I'm up motherfucker. I'm up and I see your white ass has allowed jews to control your damn money and your white brothers have sold out this country. No jobs(outsourcing) and 14 million fucking illegal being used by white corporate america to undercut the american labor force. Need I saw more pussy!???
@flirtwd OOHH The evil, White man!! thats played out. However, you make very good points. If you think that Muslim ass hole in the white house is Pro American you are a weak little narrow minded child in the world of big boys!! As for being a pussy, You are what you eat . So I am guilty!
@motleycrue24 There in lies the problem,Just for good measure MOTLEY CREW SUCKS TOO.Bunch of wanna be women!! If your a good musician you dont need makeup!!! Any questions just listen to a KISS album!!
@motleycrue24 ;O 'O' :D truth is I love the crew, I seen them many times, Vince is still a bad ass. Just stretching my YOUTUBE Bravado to illicit a response.However I stand firm on the Kiss Comment! And Nobama can Kiss a fat babys ass!! Have a great day!!!!
God bless John!!!

Him being a socialist doesn't make sense.

@JohnnyTRex99 FUNNY, especially when they're a liberal like Harry Smith. Love Mellencamp's music, HATE his politics.

he needs to go back to his roots because none of his new stuff is 10% as good as his self titled album
