John mellencamp

I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?

In so many musicals today, the story is moved forward by a song. I don't think we're gonna try to do that.

This is not a rock opera. This is not Tommy. I can write songs that emote, and that's it.

What's the difference? One guy's the same as the other.

The CD, it should be noted, was born out of greed. It was devised to prop up record sales on the expectation of people replenishing their record collections with CDs of albums they had already...

This is about black people selling out other black people.

Natalie from the Dixie Chicks could have said what she said before 9-11 and no one would have cared.

I couldn't have recorded this record 15 years ago. My voice didn't have the depth to pull these songs off.

I would never say John Kerry would be a great president. I will say that George Bush has divided us; he has filled this country with hatred.

I'm your average Joe guy. I don't really care for politicians.
