i think some people believe he's a poor man's springsteen...i, on the other had, believe him to be an amazing writer/performer...i have most of his albums, but until recently had forgotten how much i enjoyed his music...his 2 cd greatest hits package just came out, and we were giving away copies at work..so i took one for the car, and song after song after song....brilliant..i'm watching his live show on A&E tonight(repeated i'm sure over the next few days), and the way he's redoing his material and making it sound fresh...wow...if you haven't before, i urge you to give this man the respect he deserves!!
not only that, he's instrumental in Farm-Aid

John Cougar Mellencamp or John Cougar Mellonhead? I can't remember his name. After watching the Heksentel (sp?) video I am confused. haha

i missed the first few songs as well...jackie brown is so beautiful though, ain't it? if you want a great mellencamp cd with redone versions, rough harvest...the jackie brown on there is unreal...also one that always gets me is "key west intermezzo(i saw you first)"...

One of my favourite all-time concert experiences was seeing him at The Molson Amphitheatre in 1999 ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.canoe.ca/JamConcertsL2Q/mellencamp_john_062599.html">http://www.canoe.ca/JamConcertsL2Q/mell ... 62599.html</a><!-- m --> )
It was one of those perfect nights for a concert-by-the-lake, and my three buddies and I were primed for a full night of partying. Mellencamp put on a fantastic show, and the memory of that night still makes me smile.

I never really got into Mellencamp, but Scarecrow is still a killer album.

I like mellencamp, he's got some great songs, I really like Cherry Bomb and Small Town. Im glad to see he put Scarecrow on his lastest hits cd that song rocks baby! :thumb: I just wish he'd put the Cougar back in his name, sounds more cool. 8)
