- Before he was doing "The Big Interview," Dan Rather visited John at his Belmont Mall studio to discuss John's historic concert at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in April 2007, war, smoking, Johnny Cash, and many other topics in this insightful 2007 interview.
Loves John since 70s-80's, if you didn't know John was a liberal you didn't know John.
Love your music, John. Nice to hear someone who cares for the common man!
He's completely right, and has maintained that position for his adult life. He's not perfect in his private life, but no one is.
OMG!!! The first 7 minutes I've watched so far... I can't agree with him more!!!! He's so right on! Will have to watch the rest later as it's work time. LOL I am glad I like my job. I am blessed with the job I have cause it has it's awesome moments. LOL I wish this for everyone! Have a job you love.
Thank you to you and your band, for your time and service, providing musical inspirational offerings to US service men and women, their Families, friends. Seeking to provide comfort, amidst turmoil and angst of war, is helpful, and I suspect, very pleasing to our gracious Lord. Thank you.
It’s on my bucket list to meet John one day. He’s the most humble celebrity I’ve ever seen. Damn good man!
Humble? If you like his music, that’s cool. But when it comes to major league a-holes in the music business, JM ranks near the top. Kinda hard to be a “roots rocker” when you own a $10 million dollar Manhattan penthouse. He’s for the common man… he knows nothing about common.
@@stormbringercoming8105 he's also done Farm Aid for 23 or 24 years amongst other benefits For the Working Man and has continually spoken up in support of farmers, working people and unions. From your logic, it sounds as if you think if you have a great deal of money, which by the way he has worked his ass off for, you can't be humble and that's just not the case.

I never questioned his artistic integrity or his work ethic towards his craft. I never questioned his commitment to the American farmer. My point is that JM talked all the time never selling out. Well, he did. He’s had a history of being a prick to work for, generally treating people like shit. More so than the average entertainer. I suppose I just have a problem with any entertainer that HAS TO BE SEEN smoking all the time. (Also known as Sean Penn syndrome.) Especially after how many heart attacks? Like Springsteen, I have a problem with musicians that write well written songs about “the common man” and know NOTHING about that world, while making hundreds of millions about it. Not jealous, just deeply cynical.
Mellencamp knows nothing about being humble.
One of my favorite interviews from John!!! I'm proud to say I have Freedom's Road one of my favorite albums!!!
Excellent album and interview with a rock legend!! I love his tenacity!!
One of the greatest without question. I can't think of many things that represent the true American more than John.
Thank you John, love your music.
I love the way he thinks!! He's so awesome!!! Love ya John!!!
Mr.
Mellencamp is a musician and fabulous painter. Please focus on your state representatives/ governments. Freedom of religion is still accessible and we enjoy it gratefully.
Love This Man...
Life is for learning lessons. You are sooooo right! & it is sad, truly. My Mother's brother was killed WWII. He was 21. Army Air Force. Their plane was shot down over Belgium. All perished. Interred at Ardennes, Belgium. I will visit some day, one day. How my Family ended up in FL from Long Island, NY. Sold their brownstone, Long Island and moved to FL in 1947. Still, my Mom's Father died of a broken heart, age 60. He was so sad. War is terrible.
I adore Dan Rather
This is also why I buy his records, a genuine character..
Amazon Music baby
JM was born 7 October 1951. On his 50th birthday the US invaded Afghanistan.
Human Wheels go round and round.
Great song!!!!
very nice. -semper fi
Unfortunately he just does not understand we all are born with a sin nature and Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life.
Jesus christ is a fictional character
There is something wrong with the human condition, it’s called Lack of Wisdom, and a lack of understanding the Heart and mind. Some call it the joke of God, others call is Earth School of hard knocks.🤣Sin=missing the mark. We know deep down how good it feels to Git the Marks in our life.
How can you be Against the War but Suport the Troops?
Bob Segar made more money on the a like a Rock commercial than his entire career
When you talk about destruction don't you know that you can count me out IN point being He could snap (John Lennon said that )
I love John but it's kind of hard to talk & appeal to a rogue nation. Some people don't have a shred of good nature to reason with.
YET. Doesn't understand YET.
"..and the Music was Good and the Music was Loud, ..and the singer he turned and he said to the Crowd, .Let the be Rock" ..how come he doesn't sing That one any more, loud hard high and mean like he used to, .. or is he just going to be permanently stuck in " Via con Deos my Darling" mode, ...?😂
Lol. John calls himself a Democrat and then tries to pretend Democrats aren't pro war. Love him but nice try
He is not living in reality... radical Islam cannot be "talked" too. Why doesnt he go talk to them and give them a concert and donate the money to them... they would use the money to try and attack us...
John's math was a little off. More like $3 Trillion wasted in Iraq.
flat
Just sing
He's a human being entitled to his opinion.
& Dribble. 😅
Or the Host of CELEBRITY APPRENTICE 😅
Hes dead wrong..he has no idea about war and peace
As OPPOSED TO???????😅
