I think John Mellencamp’s music sucks.

[Michael.SF.]

Is he related to John Cougar?

[Fungi]

You guys are so mean. He has one of my favorite songs—”hurts so good”—the rest, well, I can take them or leave them, but that is a classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dOsbsuhYGQ

Call me a conspiracy nut but the music industry helps to push popular cultural, and the industry has decided that hedonism, greed, lust, and self indulgence are what people want.

“Is he related to John Cougar?”

He’s the artist formerly known as John Cougar.

[dfwgator]

He’s the artist formerly known as John Cougar.

And the artist formerly known as John Cougar Mellencamp.

Wow. the music industry is full of snakes trying to rip off artists? Who would have thought? How dare record executives try to get a return on their investment!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Not mean... truthful.

[LukeL]

He wrote a song opposing the Iraq war where rhymed war with oil .

[a fool in paradise]

Full legal name Johnny Cougar Mellencamp Uh Huh.

[Kickass Conservative]

So, give the Money back then John.

Show how sincere you really are.

Let me guess, he’s just another Libtard, right?

Boo friggin hoo, po baby.

[Fungi]

True, and the video sucks, as does his politics. Like Elton John?

[bakeneko]

Gee Mr. Mellonhead;

Maybe the reason you are ‘standing on the sidelines’ is because most of your former fans figured out that you are really just a limp-dick liberal meathead.

Well, bye.

[BBell]

I agree. Both the music industry and the movie industry are awful and beyond comprehension.

Did he look in a mirror or something?

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Great band, acceptable politics:

Only a Lad by Oingo Boingo

[Dallas59]

John who?

[Hugin]

I always liked his music. I think he probably means well, but I don’t generally look to musicians for political opinion, so I’m seldom disappointed when they do say dumb stuff.

[lewislynn]

I don’t know (or care) about the industry but the music? sure sucks.
