Populist, my ass. Mellencamp has shat all over his small-town working class roots. The guy is a total ass to “little people” and interviews like a, dare I say it, like a retard. He certainly hasn’t written any good songs in 25 uears, and if you look at his friends mentioned in the article, he would be quite the enemy to Hoosiers and all Americans. As a person he is not very likeable, and in the political area he is a gold-plated moonbat moron.
However, looking at the current Senate, not just the junior Senator from Minnesota, the bar is set very low, so he would fit right in. There are enough morons in Bloomington and other cities to eek out a win, perhaps.
The slide continues ...
It’s not a matter of corruptibility, he is a moron with nary a thought in his head, much less an independent thought. He would be a lock-step lemming for whatever the Dim leaders wanted (another Julia Carson).
Mellencamp couldn’t independently order from a restaurant menu.
I went to one of his concerts about 15 years ago, and was not too far from the stage.
No sooner did his concert start than he started railing against corporate sponsorship, saying that the signs around the pavilion were not his and that he would never sell out and go “commercial”.
I yelled at the top of my lungs: “Hey John, what color is your limousine?!” That got a pretty good chuckle from everyone around me.
Fast forward a few years, and he’s selling Chevys.
