Thanks so much for your kind words, fauquex. I'm a Swiss American (my family is originally from Sumiswald -- moved here as Mennonite regugees 257 years ago!), and I'm still proud of that Swiss part also.

[waypasthadenough]

Used to really like mellencamp until he came out with that song that dissed our most basic right.

Our biggest enemies are white, were born here, and call themselves “Liberals” and progressives to hide their evil communist tendencies.

It will take many expensive suits hanging along Penn. Ave. to fix this mess if it can be fixed, and an extensive “Liberal” season whereby we force the amerikan communist insurgents out of the country or kill enough of them to restore Liberty.

Chevy commercial =D

[Joe402]

THIS IS ARE COUNTRY

[MrCopperhead1861]

Why over the last 8 years have been ashamed to be a American?

[justvisiting1]

I don't think we have been ashamed at all!

We have been embarrassed that Bush used the megaphone of perception to portray us as arrogant to friends and enemies around the world - This isn't just the invasion of Iraq - but his general attitude and representation of us - So we were embarrassed because we couldn't simply stop him until recently - But we were never ashamed to be American!

[baseballxboxhockey]

@MrCopperhead1861 cause we've been in every major war since like 1800s

[Popeyes00]

This is OUR COUNTRY... but never forget that only because a white man is singing the song doesn't mean OUR indicates whites....OUR means us AMERICANS!!!

One thing I can truly say about this country is that...whether you are white, black, asian, hispanic, u can be an American without feeling awkward...

for example, a white or black man born in China will not be a Chinese nor Asian...

[luckydan99]

JM does more for the troops than 99% of the other musicians. He holds benefit concerts to help them. Just because he doesn't believe in the war, he still does his best to support the troops.  Which is more than I can say about any of you right Neocon Chickenhawks.

[kelhenny12]

Contrary to all your beliefs of a "sellout," it was quite the opposite. He donated his song for FREE to Chevy in hopes that it would stimulate their sales, and thus, also help the American economy. So suck it all you haters. John Mellencamp did it out of the graciousness of his love for America.

[fauquex]

i am from switzerland and i must say, that american people have so much patriotism. we swiss people don't have this. when we say, we love switzerland, we are rascism. i knew this song from the chevy commercial. i love american cars and i love american philosophy =) take care to your country =)

[redcorona14]

@fauquex Our country is screwed my friend. You allowed the first zionist congress to convene at Basel in your country back in 1897. That group has bought every bank in the world and nearly ever media outlet.

Thanks for nothing Switzerland.

[w8ting2rock1]

@fauquex Actually this song is not about patriotism it is quite the oposite. It is about how corrupt our coutry is. This came straight from John's mouth.

[normanplombe]

who can listen to this chevy commercial when johnny cougar badmouthed 'sellouts' so much at the beginning of his career? come on. did he need the money that badly?...at least it sold a shitload of gm products....no wait....

[K4driver2]

He did the commerical...because Teenagers for the most part, wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the bridge, because of all the "ganstas" Got To promote yourself so people see your still making excellent music somehow...since there are no music channels left that show music videos.

[normanplombe]

you obviously read the rollingstone interview...i love the man..but..i hate the sellout....

[K4driver2]

what is the name of john mellencamp's guitarist @ 2:13? HE ROCKS!!!!

and remember "THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!"

[pnkhsz107]

That, my friend, is Mr. Andrew York! He's my reason for playing the electric guitar. Mellencamp's the reason I play acoustic too =D

[thedcoy]

"From the east coast to the west coast, this is our country" (From California to the New York island, this land was made for you and me) Which sounds better? Woody Guthrie or Johnny Cougar Mellonhead? And just how original is this song?

[K4driver2]

You damn moron. John mellencamp is an american original. you on the other hand are just a jealous person to stupid to like mellencamp.

[thedcoy]

original? you been living in a cave? Family didn't have a radio? Been doing hard time somewhere? For some reason, like so many, you haven't been exposed to good music. If you listened to the great music of the past, you would not have been lead to the mellonhead. But like so many, you just don't get it! Poor little pinhead.

[K4driver2]

lets see.....I am a follower of Bruce springsteen,Mr Cash,The follower of Bob seger, and of bob dylan, and both Guthries. I know true music...

[shas1814]

Original?

Like this comment you duplicate on his videos?

[gosoxky]

I believe it is with a wink and nod to Woody that Mellencamp presents this tune!

[gosoxky]

Our Country - for how long????

[Necromortis61]

What a prick XD

[2muchgrace]

A new American anthem for post-Bush America.

[luvinbrad]

Thanks!!!  Going on 12/15 in Atlantic City! Can't wait....

[TheamazingLuke]

I went to this concert at Seagate Center in Toledo I love this song and I went the day before that at Memorial Coliseum

[mellenheadinohio]

this song is so good, especially live.

[WIICK]

Mirium and her violin really make this sound fantastic...

[samu51]

You can't go wrong with a John Mellencamp song.
