John Mellencamp: He fights Intelligence, and intelligence always wins.

Little ditty 'bout John Mellencamp
A washed up old has-been with his head up his arse.....

[AdA$tra]

I don't have a problem with anti-war anthems as long as they are not anti-American, anti-Bush or anti-soldier. Almost nobody likes war, not even the guys that do it for a living.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Mellancamp's been a hippie for years. This is no surprise.

The Dixie Chicks are more of a shock.

[NWOhioGirl7O7]

I don't listen to mellon head's music anyway!

[SerpentDove]

I hate that unhip little monkey-faced putz.

[Xenalyte]

Wow. Unattractive, pretentious in the name department, AND irrelevant. We have a three-fer.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Who? Oh, you mean John Cougar!

[MizSterious]

John Mellonhead is just trying to appear relevant. Has-beens often do that.

[Hacksaw]

For good warfare music, listen to Slayer. Warning: It can permanently alter your brain.

[Arkinsaw]

He was a good lookin' guy.
Stood about six foot three,
Long brown hair
As nice as he could be.
Everybody liked him
But he didn't have a clue,
He looked silly as hell
In those funny French shoes.

This story doesn't mention how he is desperate to get the song out for fear the war will be over by the time his album is released. Imagine that. "No one will be in the mood for my tune when the Iraqis are dancing in the streets." What a jerk.

"Stones in My Passway"

So that's his problem...

[Indiana Girl]

Johnny, you old, washed up, has-been, you should have stopped with "Scarecrow". You've outlived your usefullness.

[rhombus]

Yawn... ever since Viet Naam every musician seems to think they can make hay with a protest song. Of course young people who are in their rebellious, "protest anything" years buy them up with their parent's money and "...the seasons go round and round and the painted ponies go up and down..." Same old, same old. These old capitalist musicians make their living biting the hand that feeds them.

[BansheeBill]

I have some friends who work for the production (stage/sound system/lighting system) companies that manage/produce/transport major rock tours in the US. According to them, Mellencamp is right near the top of the Top 5 list of Primmadonna A-Hole "Rock Stars" that a lot of their long time crews no longer want to go out on tour with. He is supposedly a major league pain in the ass, who cannot be spoken to...you have to ask questions through an intermediary.

[Redcloak]

Little pink burqas
For you and me

[CIBvet]

What have the Dixie Chicks done to rank them in such a pathetic category?

[duckman]

"Stones in My Passway"

Sounds like he needs a to see an doctor quick.
