John Cougar Mellencamp, anti-American musician and has-been, will be performing at halftime of the Colts/Lions NFL Thanksgiving Day football game. If you agree that Mellencamp does not deserve this honor and that his singing at an NFL halftime show while you have a full belly may lead to the entire family regurgitating grandma's turkey, then contact the NFL and CBS and ask them to please cancel his performance.

SMALL BRAIN Parody of "Small Town" by John Mellencamp By Kevin L. Kitchens Well I was born with a small brain And I live with a small brain Definitely vote with a small brain I'm a liberal, through and through. All my friends have such small brains My parents share just one small brain My job requires no brains It's a government opportunity Educated in the left's ways Taught to bash Jesus every day Dream about Hilary winning '08 Another Clinton president for me I've seen folks in awe of my small brain Seen America fall due to small brains...

Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2004 Kerry Exposes Mellencamp's Whopper Sen. John Kerry's stunning admission that he would still vote to authorize the war in Iraq is an embarrassment for the Bush-hating singing millionaires who are abetting him. Pop singer John Cougar Mellencamp (he hates to be called that) tried to claim last week that the fund-raisers, which are supposed to generate tens of millions of dollars for Kerry, were nonpartisan. "If there was a Democrat in the White House, and this was going on, we'd still be doing this," he claimed. As the pro-Democrat Detroit Free Press retorted, "Uh huh." Mellencamp...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) John Mellencamp's no stranger to politics, but the current presidential campaign is bringing out a newfound activism He's joining Bruce Springsteen, the Dixie Chicks, Kenny ``Babyface'' Edmonds and other musicians to campaign against President Bush's re-election in an series of concerts in nine swing states in October. Mellencamp tells The Herald-Times of Bloomington in an interview published today that he wasn't very politically active before the current administration. But things are different now because he feels the current mood in the country is silencing voices of protest.

When the Dixie Chicks made their snide comment about President Bush, hundreds if not thousands of people lined up at radio stations across America to dump their Dixie Chicks CD's.Let's face it, artists are paid to entertain us, they are the jesters of society and true they are allowed to have a personal opinion, they should keep their opinion to themselves and not use their social position to promote their idealology. We all have an opion but few of us have a sounding board to share our opinion with thousands of people.Some folks commented that dumping their Chicks CD's did...

Kerry, Edwards, Hollywood, and the Politics of Hate By Andrew L. Jaffee, July 13, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms John Kerry and John Edwards both looked at the same intelligence presented to President Bush, and they voted for the Iraq war. Then both Kerry and Edwards voted against an $87 billion funding package for our troops in Iraq. How could they be both for and against the war? Kerry, the great flip-flopper, has even gone so far as stating, I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it. Several weeks before Kerry voted against the $87 billion bill,...

As Tommy Daschle might say, I am deeply saddened. It is getting more and more difficult to enjoy popular culture. I will miss some of it. After reading reports of the Bush-bash fest at Radio City Music Hall by the RAT b*st*rd entertainers that raised 7.5 million bucks for John/John, I once again went to the cabinet that houses CDs and videos. I found SISTER ACT, FOUL PLAY, VACATION, SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES, and two John Cougar Mellencamp CDs. I took them out to the backyard and went to George and Kramer's favorite foliage. Before too long, they lifted their...

So the anti-Bush celebrities think they have a "responsibility to speak out" and think that — just because they're celebrities — people should take their opinions seriously in the coming Presidential election. Whatever these yahoos are smoking, they need to lower their dose...

Rockers Unite to Oust Bush Moby, Henley, Matthews ask fans to "get involved" Bruce Springsteen told a crowd of 50,000 New Yorkers on October 4th to "shout a little louder if you want the president impeached." Two weeks later, John Mellencamp posted an open letter to America on his Web site, declaring, "We have been lied to and terrorized by our own government, and it is time to take action." Meanwhile, Moby, Eddie Vedder and Michael Stipe are organizing a TV-ad campaign that will run anti-Bush commercials during the week of the State of the Union address in January; Dave...

John Mellencamp describes his 21st album as "a small record," something he did more as a labor of love than as what he calls "chest-thumping arena-rock." But "Trouble No More," released Tuesday, is one of the strongest efforts in the career of rock fans' favorite Hoosier--a soulful collection of blues and folk standards that attempt to make sense of turbulent times, from his reworking of the anti-war anthem "To Washington," to his reading of "The End of the World," popularized by Skeeter Davis, which takes on new meaning 40 years after it first hit the pop charts ("Why does the...

John Mellencamp was being interviewed by Bill Mccuddy yesterday and I thought I would share a little of it with you all in case you wanted to boycott his album. Bill Mcuddy: "So did you support this war?" John Mellencamp: "I supported the troops, I didn't support a selected President who got us into a war for reasons we didn't need to be getting into." Bill:"and you supported the Dixie Chicks too didn't you?" John:"Definetely. I'm sick of everybody trying to suppress everybody's else's free speech in this country. I don't think that driving by the Dixie Chicks house and...

John Mellencamp has made a new anti-war-themed song, "To Washington," available for free download on his official Web site. The cut, inspired by Woody Guthrie and the Carter Family but penned by Mellencamp, questions President George W. Bush's motives at waging war against Iraq: "He wants to fight with many / And he says it's not for oil / He sent out the National Guard / To police the world." "To Washington" will appear on Mellencamp's next studio album, a collection of covers he is recording in his Bloomington, Ind., homebase with his touring band. The set, tentatively titled "Trouble...
