I think John Mellencamp’s music sucks.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I agree. Both the music industry and the movie industry are awful and beyond comprehension.
Did he look in a mirror or something?
John who?
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.
I don’t know (or care) about the industry but the music? sure sucks.
He found out that life in Starland Vocal Band land ain’t easy street. Next stop, kid’s birthday parties.
Anything that keeps Bruce Springsteen’s music off the airwaves and out of homes is alright by me. Let him serve as Chris Christie’s butler.
Ever since he went to his maiden name, I lost all respect for him.
Jerry: Oh, I’m sorry. Elaine, this is my cousin Artie Levine.
Artie: Le*vine*.
Jerry: Yeah, “Le*vine*”. And I’m Jerry Cougar Mellencamp...
He should go find a job in a small town.
John Cougar Concentrationcamp
I’ll hold judgement until industry expert Neil Young weighs in.
I’ve read all the posts - and all I can add is:
There is a good movie, available for rent/purchase which is a bit of a glimpse inside the music industry.
Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo.
It’s called Begin Again and is rather nice.
Just an FYI.
