I am not calling MellenHEAD stupid because of his politics. I am calling him stupid because it’s clear he is stupid — just in general.
Even Bill Maher has to educate him on blacks and slavery.
If you watch a bit more of this Club Random episode you will be shocked by how vacant this dunderhead is.
My father used to call him “John Mellencrap” and now I know why.
There’s lots of them. LOTS.
Please, don’t post Mellencamp’s snatch.
Given the MSM narrative over generations there’s a lot of people as misinformed as Mellencramp. I’m actually surprised Maher calls him out on the cramp.
I figured that out back in the 1980’s. They guy is a complete and total fucking idiot.
Another idiot liberal musician like Bruce Cumstain.
to be expected from the dicksucker composer of “jack & diane”…oh yeah, live goes on, blah, blah…
…life? goes on…tucking fypos
That’s John COUGAR Mellenhead to you, mister.
Funny how he dropped the Cougar part.
And yes. His music has always sucked.
maybe get a tour going with: debbie boone, elo, lizzo, sniffs-dogg-shit, stealer’s wheel, other luminary-types
Oof. Another case of, “shut up and sing!” I’d happily remain a fan because I was. Now, like this host, I won’t be spending any money on a show or anything ever again.
He fancies himself a painter now too. Maybe the fumes from his oil paints and turpentine have killed off too many brain cells. This genius was engaged to actress Meg Ryan recently. She broke up with him and in interviews he admitted to being “a bad boyfriend.”
Great guy. <—-sarcasm 😑
& b. r. cyrus doing achy-breaky…
@sheriff. How could you leave out the The Troggs? Wild Thing. 3 chords and wet cardboard boxes as a drum kit.
12:09, sorry – add more
sheriff, a tour of Oklahoma casinos maybe
Never cared for his music. Never cared for him. I see now why I didn’t.
If I ever launch my product, toilet paper printed with celebrity opinions, cougar-boy seems like a good source of material.
Went through a huge Mellencamp phase around ’83 when the “Uh-Huh” album came out, then the fantastic “Scarecrow” album in ’85. It added to the coolness that he was an Indiana boy like me. I can’t join in with those who are saying “his music sucks.” Sure.
However, I recently watched the episode of Sammy Hagar’s Rock-n-Roll Road Trip with his interview/visit with Mellencamp. Mellencamp seems like a dour, unappreciative jerk off. Even Hagar seemed stunned at Mellencamp saying he was never really into his music career, like none of it even mattered.
I had to look him up to see what songs he sang. I was never a fan of his…..
Stupid is a prerequisite in the industry these days.
Hubris.
The rich white man telling the (what he considers pitiable) black people what they should think and feel.
He’s just an arrogant POS.
Ted Nougat, I agree.
I liked many of his songs, “Check It Out” and Scarecrow live versions are fantastic IMHO.
I generally try not to learn anything about musicians and actors anymore.
Almost always disappointed.
He gave an interview with CBS Jane Pauley years back and he chain-smoked the entire time.
He was an aloof and an asshole.
He had health problems and she questioned his smoking.
I doubt the idiot ever quit.
Anyone who could write this has to have some redeeming value;

The last commenter said it all, “This song is a masterpiece.”
Johnny needs a lover that won’t drive him crazy – like Theotis and Jamaal did when they sodomized him.
@Ted @Rich
I know. I can’t say I hate his music blah blah. His appeal to me was the Midwest connection too (I’m from Ohio). I have most of his albums and have seen him in concert many times.
I’m stumped regarding his disinterest and put downs of his music career. I just don’t get it.
I guess his music masked his a**hole ways.
^^^^
His Scarcrow album was an omage to the Mid-Western ethos of family, tradition, and hard work.

So profound in recognizing the value of those older Americans that didn’t bitch, have their hands out for freebies, and did what it took to provide for their families.
“Minutes to Memories” is a good song.
When I’ve traveled back home from Florida to NW Indiana, I’ve stopped in Seymour, IN where he’s from a couple times. Great little downtown area and place for breakfast before heading out for another long drive. I stopped in to the record store downtown (yes, a nice throwback place, lots of vinyl) and spoke with the owner. He said “ya, everyone goes through a Mellencamp phase. Everyone here either knows him or has fought him.” Had to laugh at that.
It looks like all that money I spent on a really Great Audio & Theatre System for my basement was wasted.
The more these actors & musicians speak, the less i can watch them.
@Kcir
It’s only wasted if you let it be. I’ve made it easy on myself. If I liked the work that a particular artist has done in the past, I still like the work regardless of what is done in the present. For example, I can’t stand Alec Baldwin anymore, but I srill love and watch The Hunt for Red October.
this dummy has been trying so hard to be black for over 30yrs
I gotta lotta vinyl, but no JCM… wait-hold-it… maybe he’ll sound better on 78!
Aaaaaalllllvin!
He ain’t looking at the same commericals on the tube that I see.
JB, CHEERS!
I try, but the ONLY recent thing i Bought was Top Gun Maverick which was very entertaining & Fun but also COMPLETE HORSE SHIT from a reality point of view.
also, I think you misspelled Ass-lick Baldwin
My Roger Waters concert HAD TO BE KILLED earlier this year with a Compound bow.
The rest of the band’s discs survived.
John Mellencamp is from very near where I abode in Indiana. Kinda know him, being a contractor. Anyhoo, he art an jagoff & asshole. Holier than thou liberal fuckwad. This happened quite a few years back in the people’s republic of Monroe County, home of Indiana University. Said Mellencamp bought 100 or so acres across the Lake Monroe causeway, approx. 26,000 square foot house, yes, 26,000 to be built. Big deal, one might say. But, Monroe County is hardcore Democrat, always has been, always will be. Cutting of trees or timbering is uber verboten. The fucker did basically have his land clear cut to make room for his gigantic mansion, eyesore, by the way. I, too, don’t despise him for being a liberal. Or for being utterly vacuous. I despise him for being a hypocrite.

My choice asshole. I chose not to support him. There’s lot’s of better music out there than his. If he, or you, want my guns come get them.
“Fu Brad, fight your own comments ASSHOLE!”
Peyote? I dunno. Sounds like a upset China man. But that makes no sense.
Tell me about it. Asshoe doesn’t have an L in it.
Can you say prison? Thats his future. Bedbug city, USA.
Who? Melloncamp? What did he do?
I always take my political advice from knuckleheads who couldn’t get any further than junior high. Also see Cher the genius.
Anyone else remember when he was Johnny Cougar? I liked his music, but he’s kind of a dolt.
PHenry, I missed your comment. Sorry!
