I guess the ill-educated, not too bright, but successful, have not embraced the benefits of “shut up and sing/act/dance.

And they both try/claim to be a voice of the working man, and the working man supports Trump.

Mellencamp ended up stopping the show on "Jack And Diane." He left the stage for several minutes, but he ultimately returned to finish his set.

Well, you know, life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone.

I went to school with John. He was a year behind me.’Small Town’ is my life story growing up. My older sister was a close friend of his older brother Joe who was very talented musically. I like his music from the ‘80s’, but he’s always been a dick, pardon my language. He was a druggy and a headcase in HS. He came from a good family, but he was the black sheep if we can still use that term. He’s been a card-carrying leftist his whole adult life. Probably a response to his small town, rural, conservative upbringing.

John Lydon also called out Jimmy Savile decades before his crimes and perversions became public on a BBC program. And the thanks Lydon got was being banned from appearing on the BBC while Jimmy Savile was still allowed over the airwaves.

Went to a Peter, Paul and Mary concert a number of years ago. Great concert until after the break. When they came back on stage they started to spew their liberal views. Guess they had forgotten where they were, conservative central Indiana. Half the crowd started blowing and walked out. They probably didn’t care; they had our money. But it ruined a great concert.

“Bodies” is probably the most anti-abortion song ever made.

Actually Hurts So Good was his breakout hit. Jack and Dianne was the follow up. The first hit song he wrote was I Need A Lover That Won’t Drive Me Crazy - but it was Pat Benatar that made it a hit. Until then it was just a popular Cougar album cut on the alternative college radio band.
