Before moving to western North Carolina I was out for a morning ride on my Harley. I knew where he lived near Monroe reservoir. As I was passing John's driveway I seen him sitting on his bike at the end of his driveway. He waved as I rode bye. I have often wished I would have stopped and said hello. Usually celebrities don't want to deal with the public. I like Mr MELLENCAMP. ROCK ON JOHN.
man oh man!!! well you guys .....most of us grew up with this guy from mtv to the american music awards im 54 now and slowly we are watching our childhood heroes die all around us john is 70 yrs old in 2022 sad sad sad day it will be to hear about him passin on.... and just like clint eastwood i can feel it commin its like only a matter of time hearing about it. the band members of kiss... i can just feel it.
I spent the day with Mellencamp when he came to my house to fix my phone in 1974. (And no... I'm not lying.) He hung out all day because I had a bunch of guitars laying around. I remember my mom coming home as he was leaving. She said, "He's a good looking young man."
I saw him first, this time I think I'm really in love. John is the best and I have loved him and his music since I first saw him on SNL. Loved him then , now, and will forever. Thanx John for the great music and memories. I tell everyone he is my boyfriend, he just doesn't know it yet. Saving my coin for a painting someday. Luv his art and can feel the emotion. Keep it going John, YOU ARE AN AMERICAN TREASURE.❤️☮️🇺🇲👍🎯
Ya know if majority of people were not infatuated...obsessed...addicted to celebrity's lifestyles, the world would be a much better place. I admire Mellencamp's music. I don't give a damn about his personal life. He sure as hell doesn't give-a-damn about your life.
AWESOME ARTIST WITH SOME OF THE GREATEST SONGS 🎵 EVER . I SOMETIMES CONFUSE HIM WITH BRYAN ADAM'S SONGS BUT 🤷♂️. NEVER FORGET THE 1ST TIME I SAW THE VIDEO CRUMBLING DOWN. VERY IMPRESSED AND A FAN EVER SINCE.
He was always been a kooky lib, but he's stll good. Sometimes you have to look past polics, but I am a little remissed that he's embarrassed by his early s songs
Overall a good video even though you repeat yourself numerous times. Or are you just a bot? Been a Mellencamp fan for decades ever since seeing him on American Bandstand back in the day performing 'Ain't Even Done With The Night.' The song has a cool, Motown-like vibe that caught my attention and I've followed his music ever since. One thing you might have emphasized is that he hated the "Johnny Cougar" moniker! It was the usual BS of some manager thinking the name Mellencamp wouldn't sell. (Keep in mind this was in the same era that Engelbert Humperdinck was at the top of the easy listening charts!) 😆😆 Also, why did you feel it necessary to include the pic of Megan Fox in the thumbnail. That was BS!
"Most number 1's by a solo artist at 7?" I am here because I am a fan of him, but I can't watch anymore after that remark at around the 1:00 mark... it could not be further from the truth!
I like how John is an individualist and separates himself and combines himself with his Art. A truly down to Earth guy! Good luck with all your endeavors!!
He probably makes some through streaming and a bulk in licensing for things like TV commercials and TV shows. Plus, all those stadiums and music players at bars have to pay too. I'd bet he gets over a 100k for concerts too.
My home in Madison was very similar to Seymour. A lot of great memories. In those days I used a stage name that many of your grandparents would remember. Never got the pleasure to meet or play music with John, but always liked his simplicity, relatable storylines, and old school get down rockin roll. Rock on!
Dude, what's up with all your thumbnails showing these guys with younger, much younger women? In fact, women that are also celebs that have probably never met these older guys. Has any legal reps reached out to you about using their client's images? Were you thinking Megan Fox was Meg Ryan???

I met him also at his recording studio in Bloomington Indiana and I’m still talking about it on my videos
Hes the man.

Ottawa 1994 best concert ever, so good for the soul.
Great artist to!!! Lots of great paintings
Rain on the scarecrow would be number one if released today.

Thx John you mellowed my solitary camp here on Earth 🎉
Rite on Buddy ,, let it all hang out ,,, and Happy Birthday ,,, Peace
He has been around since at least 1978, that was when he was Johnny Cougar.
Actually a few years before that - he had an Album chestnut Street incident in 1976..
Absolutely! I saw him in 1979 in Detroit Michigan. I need a lover that won’t drive me crazy!
Clearly, the guy likes cars ... Just like j like his songs !

I was the first like here. 😊
Early bird gets the worm....👍congrats!!
I had the privilege of detailing the 56 corvette for Ralph may the same day John purchased it.the one in falling from grace.peace
John is the dude! Have loved his music since the early 80's. 😊 Why the thumbnail of Megan Fox?!? Not even related to this in anyway.
Wow, imagine owning even one of those cars. The classic Corvette is somethin else.
The narration here is woeful
These thumbnails that are attached to these lifestyle videos are 😂hilarious 😂 where do they get these photos?
Good John Cougar works Farm aid Rocks 🪨🎸 Great Rocker 👍
Hi John . Hope you’re doing well.
I’m looking for mellencamp fans to join my livestreams. Seems like most of my audience aren’t much mellencamp lovers like we all are…..
... the once super cool dude went kooky lib
Next
He was always been a kooky lib, but he's stll good. Sometimes you have to look past polics, but I am a little remissed that he's embarrassed by his early s songs
He was playing in LA in 1974.
Cool video albeit clipped...
🤣 Nice hair
Great short documentary. How’s he make $50 million in the last year but he’s only worth $30 million? Who’s the woman in the thumbnail?
My thoughts too. Same same.
Megan fox
Whys he own a Charade 😂🤔

Okay so I wasn't the only one who heard that and thought... "what?!?!".
Ok then Who is it?
@@adamclark9004 without even looking: Madonna, Elvis and Michael Jackson.
@@iggycieplinski2082 after I commented I looked and you're right they have alot more than him. Number one is Mariah carey with 19 #1s
@@adamclark9004 Yep. That's a lot more than 7. Lol
Just stay single John , not worth it.
If he is 5’7”, it’s in high heels:)
ok he's 5'6and 7/9ths"
He's not that short. I've met him in 2009. I'm 6'1.
@@coreyjohnston4673 Taller than 5’7”?
@@christopherallen9580 Yeah maybe even 5'9. But way more than 5'7.

How did he make $58 million in music between March 2021 and March 2022?
They didnt mention once..his three heart attacks...that he smokes 4 packs of ciggs..per day either..

Touring
Come on down to mishawaka
Why does he need all those vehicles?You can only drive one at a time.
He's my neighbor.
An Indian Motorcycle, and an ole Land Rover.
I met him at the Belmont recording studio in the 80s

John likes some strange kitty 🐈⬛ every so often and his smokes 🚬

Was it the women that drove him crazy
What's with his hair
What happened to Meg Ryan? Thought they were am item..old
What has he done lately
Still supporting the small towns?
Great singer/songwriter. Maybe not so great a person. He did some good things but needs his ass kicked daily to put him in his place.
Who is the narrator? I actually like his voice, but he's in a lot of annoying videos.
John what happened to your hair
Perfume? Really?
And vodka? John has said he can't stand drunks
What the hell is up with hair dude.😳
Guess what..sometimes you are the joke.
BS he is not 5 feet 7. He is more like 5 feet 4.
He voice tho is more than 6ft tall
