I have something I need to get off my chest.
I freaking love John Cougar Mellencamp.
Not just his music, but his whole demeanor and his “go fuck yourself” attitude.
And this isn’t just a one time thing either.
This is likethething John Mellencamp does at his shows now.
Watch this interaction with a crowd from April.
And I kind of love it.
But it all could have easily ended early.
Signs posted in the lobby said that, This show respects theater etiquette.
Because Im not used to this crap.
If there were any quibbles, its that Mellencamp seems hell-bent on proving that he is a serious artist.
He also told the crowd that he envisioned the show as less a concert and more of a performance.
I spit out my Pirate Water and I wasn’t even drinking any.
Dude, you wrote “Small Town”.
Thirdly, this was fucking Cleveland we’re talking about.
Ever heard of it John?
On a Friday night?
Not be preached to.
And not to feel like “they were at the theatre”.
They wanted good old days, sing-a-long rock n roll.
Take it easy Cougar
Sixthly, what’s that you say?
This isn’t John’s only instance of pulling rank on his fans like this recently?
You don’t say.
But thank you."
Are John Cougar Mellencamp and Jeff D. Lowe related?
I thought Mellencamp was from the “Take It Easy”, Eagles generation?
Maybe God’s waiting room, sunny Florida is.
It’s just flat out hilarious.
You want to talk during my fucking show?
Whne you purchase a ticket to see Mellencamp, you know what you’re in for.
And if you don’t like it, tough.
When you write “Pink Houses”
and “Hurts So Good”
you call the fuckin shots.
Who wrote any kid growing up in the 90’s ultimate song of patriotism.
