Like what he does at 3:37 or so......you know what that says, music, rock n'roll
is fun. Early 80's look to it of course, cause that's when it was, but how bout that: comeon, give a great live performance, and enjoy yourself, with a real singer and a real band. Not a bad idea.
@Kyteddy1...........not true bud.......he was John Cougar until 1982.......from 1983 to 1990 he was John Cougar Mellencamp......and from 1991 until now he is John Mellancamp.....so make sure you check facts before saying something is wrong......look it up on Wikepedia
You are correct. I saw him in concert in the fall of 82 as John Cougar. He was the "warm up" band for Heart. Met Center in Bloomington ,MN was packed with Cougar fans who went nuts when he was on stage & then sat down for Heart... His performance was raw and filled with profanities (chewed out security for taking their jobs "too Motherfuckin' seriously" when people rushed the stage). Saw him 2 years later in Minneapolis he had changed 180 deg. Name and attitude. Almost too boring...
Exxxxxcellent video...but as JMFan06 said...it is NOT from 1982 but from 80 as John cougar....I seen him in concert in Indiana in 80 in his last concert as John Cougar then he changed his name to John Melloncamp afterwards!!!He has come a long way since them days...boogie ON John!!!!!!!!!!!
@kyteddy1 My husband use to go see him at Headliners in Madison Wisconsin. He'd spit into the crowd and was Awesome back then. I still like him, but not like in his early years. To political now
As a vincennes U class of 86 Aluminus, I missed John Melloncamp by just a few years, before he made the big time. I bet old Dr. Summers, if he still lives, regrets kicking his most prominent and promising student out of VU.

My very best memories are in 1982 and with "Nothin' Matters And What If It Did". Love to dance to that one.

@onedoo : I wonder what it is that made you say that..I think the oposite..
Finally a singer who had a future as a big idol,yet he decided to take it someplace else..
