Johnny Cougar was a name dreamed up by his manager when he was looking for a record deal. He HATED it and when the contract was up he went back to using his real name. If you call him John Cougar today he gets really pissed. I did some remodeling work in his studio a few years back and one of his secretaries would call him Jonny Cougar just to fuck with him.
He was born John Mellencamp; he started out using JohnCougar as his stage name; then he started going by John "Cougar" Mellencamp; then a few years ago he dropped the "Cougar" completely and went back to just Mellencamp. So, he has gone full circle LOL.
I still Can't stop calling him John Cougar. Anyway, luv his music and Love America. Remember, there is no substitute for a place that started out as paradise. Do not let APATHY take us the way of the great civilizations of the past.
first and foremost...let me say that i am truly thankful to be living in america. it really is something for people from other countries to see. i've been around the world twice. i have been blessed by god. i am so lucky. so lucky to be raising my family in a country that seems to have no boundries on the freedoms a human being desires and deserves. america is truly something to see baby!

Cuz the simple man baby pays for the
thrills, the bills and the pills that kill.
Ain't that the God's honest truth, especially under the Great Bush administration. Hopefully, it will be better
under President Obama.

This song and this video says SO MUCH yet says it so simply. Wish more writers could write like this! Pure Americana.
