WHAT?
Disco-tunes?
You can call Mellencamp a lot of things, and I have, but not disco, lol
Neils it's seems like you have, and have heard, all his music worth hearing.

.....and the SECOND chance you'll get, maybe you can play "Check it out"?
Also my favorite periode "with" Mellencamp. The first JM-album I bought, was "Scarecrow" in '85, and then I went out and bought "Uh Huh" a few weeks later.
Thanks RJ.
It doesn't add anything to the song for me, but it didn't hurt either.
I was waiting for the Dueling Banjos kid in Deliverance to show up, lol!

Well Mike, just for you:
Another good show on the Cougar, during The Year Of The Pell. I agree, I think this is your year. Just remember us common folk when you make it big.
Lonely Ol' Night, Scarecrow, Rumbleseat, Paper In Fire and Cherry Bomb...all very good songs by Mellancamp. You had me scared that you weren't going to play Scarecrow, but you came through. You did leave off his best song (my opinion of course) from the same album, Minutes To Memories. Listen to it if you get a chance. What a great story with a great message. And just listen to how Mellancamp kicks it up a notch when he hits the high notes towards the end.
By the way, I remember Paper And Fire, and from the video for the song. I know how you feel about videos.
I was never a big fan of Cherry Bomb, but maybe that was a bit harsh. I liked it here for some reason. Must be that contex thing again.
YES YES YES! Stick to what you do best and leave your social and politcal views to your lyrics/music where I can decide if I want to participate in it or not. Hollywood and the famous really get under my skin with their views and the notion that they know something we don't and their influence is critical to my understanding of today's social and political climate! They really come off as stupid and out of touch.
OK, thanks for letting say that I will listen now...
Lonely Ol' Night is very cool song, it still sounds really really good. He really nailed his signature sound on Uh Huh and Scarecrow. Love the Rumble Seat track! So good! and your right again, what a cool feeling to hear a song you haven't heard for years!
After Lonesome Jubilee I lost track of him as he started to sound the same (IMO), and as referenced earlier became more of a voice than a music artist. Really love Cherry Bomb though I didn't have any idea it was about getting older. That tells you how much value I put on lyrics? Just for the record, I do value lyrics, more for some artists than others, I tend to ignore some I don't agree with and try to enjoy the music...
I liked this show a lot! You made me remember a song I'd completely forgotten about, and you took me to the edge of my John Mellencamp knowledge, now we go into uncharted territory, at least for me. Looking forward...
