The thing I remember most about John Mellancamp is that they tried to turn him into some kind of glitter rock set symbol and he rejected it. He just wanted to be himself and that's what he did best. The raw power and sincerity of his music always came through.
I really really respect John and his music ... he's so friggin cool. Growing up in the 80's I was Metal Head but we all jammed out to John Cougar as well ....
Michael Bates I think everyones been having a few beers when this songs came on. It's one of the good ones ya like to hear when you're partying with friends for sure. Will always be one of those tunes.
Rob Hurd Then there's me. The only 15 year old girl who actually knows all of John Mellencamp's musical catalog lol. John Mellencamp is one of the BEST in my eyes!
Haha nope. My dad HATES John Mellencamp with a burning passion. I'm not even allowed to say his name around him :/ My mom thinks he's okay. She likes his 80s hits, but she doesn't listen to him often. I discovered John Mellencamp on my own. I'm an old soul. I love a variety of older artists such as Bob Seger, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, etc. My favorite musician is Bob Seger but John Mellencamp falls closely behind. I want to see John live so badly but my parents don't wanna go... I have to try my best to get some money. The concert is in 1 month.
Mr.Sickboy Lol well, I guess the "best" of music really was the late 60's and early 70's but still there were a lot of good 80's tunes. I hope you get the funds to go for sure, it'll be a good time definitely. I don't know if pop cans are worth shit where you are but that's a place to start for a young kid to get cash. lol 5 cents a piece here. after about 20,000 of them you got somethin goin on..
I was 9 years old when JCM launched his first album and I immediately knew this guy was gonna be star. I was 9 when this song was launched on radio. He is still one of America’s best singers.
it's nice to meet you and to be COMPLETELY honest fogerty and neil and i did do and/or probably will really LOVE guns n roses acdc metallica and the rolling stones
YEP I was an 85 graduate that went to the military. Grew up in a family of musicians. I loved all 80’s Metal, Rock, what we called soft rock and country. Mellencamp I will still listen to unlike Bruce Springsteen who is now a total puke! John wrote a song that he was vocal about and did not like the politics of war and people called him left wing but he still was about facts at the time. And he moved on. Bruce well he regurgitates propaganda and lies as an elite today. Im thankful some musicians like John understand facts matter!
He was my jam and still is.. Feelin a lil blue.. Turn him all the way up. Would much rather listen to him and some other faves instead of jacking with this phone stuff.. 😁
anyone can be an asshole if you meet them on a bad day or some asshole annoys the hell out of them. Then the real asshole goes away telling people that someone else is an asshole. So unless you have met him and can come to the conclusion that he is an asshole...don't pass on someone else's opinion.
The real hero here is the bassist. He NEVER LET UP!!
@@craigt3309 I totally agree. Who is he?

Mr.Sickboy
That's gotta be cuz your mom and or dad knew what was up. I wouldn't know about half of this old good stuff either if it wasn't for my dad.

Impressive for 53 yrs old!
Now that was kick-ass!!!

One of the greatest live performers ever, and I've see most of the great one...Stones, Metallica, Guns, Fogerty, AC/DC, Neil, ........
it's nice to meet you and to be COMPLETELY honest fogerty and neil and i did do and/or probably will really LOVE guns n roses acdc metallica and the rolling stones
I love John Mellancamps songs ❤

The best live version of this song
Saw him live in Manchester, England in 2011, and the bass line from this song made your insides vibrate.
Temazooooo¡¡¡¡de ese año editado del 83 que lo sigo escuchando y cantando!!!
Best performance I"ve seen from JCM. Love the band members. Great stage presence by all. Rock on.
Great song, it`s good to see him singing his earlier songs
I love his passion in this song and performance.
As John said, "NO good deed goes unpunished! It is that simple folks. I rest my case. Semper Fi boys & Girls.
He was my jam and still is.. Feelin a lil blue.. Turn him all the way up. Would much rather listen to him and some other faves instead of jacking with this phone stuff.. 😁
Absolutely amazing rock and roll!
Rock'en it John!

2:35 Crotch grab... teehee!
2:41 Flipping off the audience so casually lol
Who is playing drums?

poor sound quality
That's not Kenny wish it was.
Trump hates this song
