John has always done it his way. And we are all better for it.
JM's absolutely awesome - I've loved him since the early '80s. His lyrics are truth.
I have admired this man since childhood. I knew John and his music had SUBSTANCE and was something special.
Who doesn’t love John Cougar , I’ve loved him since day one & always will love this man
Yes indeed loved his songs from the start
The world needs more people like John Mellencamp.
Im a Black woman. Been loving John Cougar forever. He is Custom made.
Linda Cohn, I think Iove you
I'm pretty sure that he prefers Mellencamp to Cougar.
Jesus the Destroyer John is great
Linda Cohn Mellencamp Sees No Color
If All of Us could be so Open !
why does it matter what color you are
John Mellencamp Fan since 1982; Have ticket stubs; everything; I buy, sell, trade; no seat to him unless 2nd row to 10th since 1987...I have every album John Cougar Mellencamp; then John Mellencamp ever made., two farm aids., My two grown sons know his music because of riding with Moma to KY...I hope to see him soon again
I've never met John (Yet) but out of all the musicians I really like, John I'd like to chill with and kick back and just socialize with him. He's got a grin on reality better than so many people out there. He kicks ass . God bless you John and your family.
I've been a fan sence I was 10 ... back in 1982 .... he is absolutely amazing love him and his music
I've been a JCM fan since early 70's. I'll lived 30 minutes from him most of my life. I've never met him, probably never will but I relate and feel his music. I've seen him in concert a few times, I wish him well. One sad clown to another....
@John Mellencamp your welcome friend, my friend and I rode to Henryville Forestry the other day, then on to Seymour and we took each other's picture's with our bike's beside your New Mural. Stay Happy and Healthy, John...
@John Mellencamp , I just did, thanks John. Made my day.
Writers, poets, painters, they are always writing, rhyming, painting, even if only in the mind. A word, a sound, a thought, sparks …
Love to see you looking and sounding so healthy JCM. It's been 20+ years since I've seen you and you have mellowed in a very good way.
Mellencamp is the real deal. I wonder if he knows the impact he has had. Sure would love to meet him.
He is so humble about his life and career I believe he truly feels he has barely contributed anything to music when in reality he is one of the all time greats in my eyes.
Saw Johnny "Cougar" Mellencamp in 1988 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Been missing him ever since.
So glad to see him here and on the Late Show recently.
Loving the new music, Sir! When you're ready, we are ready for you to bring your music back Down Under!!!
I have been John's fan since the beginning. He is the greatest songwriter ever. He writes and sings his observations. Uniquely gifted in telling the plain unvarnished truth.
Once again love the music the man himself and the words
Interesting interview thanks
Love John because he is Real.Love his voice and alot of his music. God Bless Him
i love this guy even more than before

The GOAT

I just Love this Man !
The PBS interviewer is Tavis Smiley
Where have all the years gone John? I still think about that boy I used to know back in the 70s
hangin’ out with Charlie Bill...
Did you know John back in the day?
your records are thee besssst
I still love Johnny Cougar Mellencamp but I still dig his older music better 😉
This is Tavis Smiley right? Great journalist always gets to the point and talks about their music not gossip or their personal life much
"Get out of your own way".. just one of the remindful marks you can use for your life out of a 23min John Mellencamp Interview. Lot to laugh about too .. hope he takes care of himself, there's still a lot to learn from guys like him.
I wish I had known JM was at the Greek Theatre. I would love to have seen him. He's one of the ( last of the Mohicans ) The best music musician maker ever. Always gave a great performance on stage.
I knew him as 'Johnny Cougar' 'John Cougar Mellencamp' and 'John Mellencamp' --- The man is a legendary poet. He puts his poems to music. My creative writing teacher had us study his early work. Anybody know what poetry is? Let's start with this definition: "writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm." (MW Online Dictionary) OKAY? For example: Perhaps I will sing "My face is a pizza". It, of course, is not a pizza. It may LOOK like one or smell like one but obviously my face is not a pizza! See? Poetry! Not understanding that is what happens when they take humanities out of the schools. Or when SOME students don't pay enough attention to the important subjects and get to be a big time talk show host and can't see past their own identity. But I digress...
Mellencamp is part black. Wow! 😊
I wish I was his muse, lol
That's my cousin! So proud!
it'sjaimeecasual lol bullshit
Lacy Shanks lol don’t you wish! He’s distant but I’m related to him through two family members of mine. I even made a video showing the first way. My great x5 grandpa’s brothers’ great great grandkid
ItsJaimeeCasual So what if he's your cousin?
Come come now John,, I love the music and the message,, but we in this country are nearly all of mixed blood and the idea of equality still escapes us. RACISM will end when words become just words, people become just people, and power and respect is earned,, when all realize, skin is just what it is,,, wrapping paper for what's inside and truly NOT WHATS IMPORTANT!! LIFE MATTERS!! THE SOUL OF THE MAN MATTERS!! PEACE!!
Ken, you seem to be missing the point of (his) music. Writing & singing and purchasing art about the injustices of racism IS part of the battle against it. Art elicits emotion & challenges ideas. LIKE THIS SONG. What exactly are you criticising?
Carolyn Mackey-Coots ,, If you want a message or idea good or bad, to last and grow,, keep bringing it up. as long as a BIG deal is made of such things,, IT REMAINS A BIG DEAL!! that's my point not criticisms just reality. I'm ill with this constant in your face, continued BLACK LIVES MATTER! White Supremacist BS! How about grow the Hell up and and stop celebrating and Waring about skin tone!! STOP THIS INSANITY AND STOP KILLING EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF LOOKS!! And SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET THIS ERA OF FOOLISHNESS FADE INTO OBLIVION!! IM CHEROKEE, sub saharan, English and Irish. Make me parts of many tribes that are all members of ONE RACE!! HUMAN!! peace!
not sure what your point is. it sounds like you blame the wrong people. If it could/should "just" happen, then why has it not happened already? "power and respect", sounds like fear and loathing. respect; is much more about the fear, that the mafia or police demand. we need to get beyond that.
brainsareus
I think his point is if you keep making Race an issue it will always be an issue.....as Morgan Freeman said "stop talking about it"
I judge people by their Character not their color!!
ALL lives matter!!
If I said to my friends and workmates in England - John Mellencamp or even Cougar they'd look at me confused. they'd know Jack and Diane though. same with the Tragically Hip, nobody in England knows who they are but in their country they're an institution. ps I only know because I grew up in Canada, I saw John at the Saddledome in Calgary in the mid 80s.
His voice is exactly the same as dog the bounty hunter
yeah he even looks like dog now that hes older

Too many commercials.
you were best as JOHN COUGAR...love your art too
@John Mellencamp Absolutely John. And Thank you for the Great Mucic!
So we are even lol
@John Mellencamp hell yes
@John Mellencamp I did!
@John Mellencamp I replied back:)
Great musician. He's part black.
Yeah if he's part black I'm Donald Trump
He grew up in racist environment and witnessed how Blacks were treated, that's why race relations was always a topic with him.
he grew up in an all white town so you're just wrong
He’s German and Irish I think idk but he’s white not black so shut the fuck up
Lacy, why did he say in this interview, that his great grandmother is black? 4:23
great guy, just wish he would stop smoking ciggs
Cigarettes help people's nerves. They killed my beloved Father but he went out doing what he had been since he was 8 years old(born in 32') working hard and smoking cigarettes.
America abolished slavery in four score and 7 years from her declaration of independence. That's 87 years anytime previous America was a colony property of England.
Damn he’s holding his age.
Hair dye.
John is such a great soul! It’s so needed right now on this day when Biden just won the presidency. Time to heal our country!
China Joe didn't win nothing, he cheated with China's help. There will be no healing....more like a Civil WAR.....
@@Jim-zt1hl 😂😂😂😂😂 Dumpty cult
@@debzacher1332 you are too dumb to realize what's going on fool.
@@Jim-zt1hl you keep believing 💜
@@debzacher1332 keep believing what? Your the one that believes in Biden....what a joke you are. You think he is going to run anything? He is senile and a puppet and is in bad health. BLM is a fascist group masquerading as a civil rights group that is funded by anti American organisations and CHINA. John Mellancamp probably knows now what it going on a few years after this was filmed.... he is also a TRUMP guy...Hahahaha. Travis lost his show and career do to sexual harassment . You are very ignorant and dont know much. You think the CHINA virus was sent here for no reason. Stupid people like you is why this country is a mess. You must be for lying, cheating and STEALING and giving up our rights and bowing to CHINA.
Was looking forward to seeing him. Love his music, style, and words. However, he refuses to sing Hurt So Good in concert. Says he's tired of it. He also won't play Aint Even Done With The Night and This Time. Hurt So Good is like a soundtrack to many of our lives. We made him a star-bought his tickets, albums, posters...etc. and he won't give that one song to his fans. Pretty shitty.
He's said he doesn't play "Hurts So Good" because it's a bit too juvenile for a 66-year-old man to sing. Totally understandable. He has so many great songs, not many are worried if that overplayed song gets put on the shelf. For the record, he did play it at the unannounced show he did at the Rock Hall of Fame on September 2, 2017.
Juvenille? it starts out "when I was a young boy". Like he is reflecting back. It was the song that first hit MTV and pretty much what made him. Had to be one of the top vids played. Maybe he is unable to hit some of the notes. What a great song to have the audience sing with you though. I think just about EVERYONE, from my generation, knows that song. If I went to see him and he didn't play it I think I would walk out of the concert scratching my head...lol Love JCM, but dissapointed he won't do that in shows.
Dannyd1572 : Consider this - The man has several hundreds of songs that are special to at least one fan. If he satisfied every one of these people he'd be still be playing the next evening. Stop being selfish because he doesn't play them all and buy his albums
Got all his albums. The songs I listed are some of his most famous. Hurt So Good is a special song to a generation. It's like going to see the Stones and they don't sing Satisfaction or Start Me Up. Fans would be pissed.
May be its to truly emphasize the message
You got your soul honestly? Did he really say that? BS interview!
you rubbed your nose you are lyying
Or his nose was itchy, as he rubbed it a few times. Duh.
Oh shut up... Maybe his nose was itchy. I have allergies and I do that sometimes.
I wish John would quit smoking, he's got a bad smokers weeze & cough, Shit I shouldn't be talking I've been smoking 20+years, the difference is I wanna quit ,& I'm trying to quit
Maga2024. Join mellonhead sucks in any color
