What an asshole.

An all-white jury

If this melonbrain actually READ about the story, I'd love to ask him why he's getting all hot and bothered about six people who beat up ONE person.

This is the post-Springsteen idea of "protest" music--rockers supporting bullies who gang up on single people. Yes, obscure the facts, John--get all worked up about a symbol that could incite violence...and then ignore the actual violent acts!

I'm proud to say I've never spent a dime on this ignorant, pretentious "musician's" boring music.

CRAP!

[Yardstick]

The video’s opening text says the noose tree was on the school grounds. Is this correct? I thought I had read it was on private property away from the school.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Hey troublemaker, Why don’t you hit self abuse on this junk?

[AD from SpringBay]

“An all-black groups kicks the boy while he’s down Is this how we are, me and you? Everyone needs to know their place And here we thought this whitebird was hidden in the flue Oh, oh, oh, Jena Oh, oh, oh, Jena Oh, oh, oh, Jena Take your gang beatings down So what becomes of boys that cannot think straight Particularly those with white Sharpton on the brain Yes, sir, no, sir, wipe that smile off your face We’ve got our rules here and you’ve got to fit in Oh, oh, oh, Jena Oh, oh, oh, Jena Oh, oh, oh, Jena Take your gang beatings down Hey, some way sanity will prevail But Je$$e doesn’t know when that day will come A shot in the dark, well it might find its way To the hearts of those who hold the keys to kingdom come Oh, oh, oh, Jena Oh, oh, oh, Jena Oh, oh, oh, Jena Take your gang beatings down Oh, oh, oh, Jena Oh, oh, oh, Jena Oh, oh, oh, Jena Take your gang beatings down.”

John Cougar Melonhead really is a putz!

[Kakaze]

Oh cripes I'm so sick of his self serving sanctimonious shit.

In the early 80's as John Cougar he was ok...........now he's a tired old cocktail liberal who lives in a isolated glass bubble. He thinks he's important, but hes really just become boorish

all white jury

From Wikipedia:

" The 150-person jury call included black citizens, who make up ten percent of the parish's population,[35] but none of the 50 potential jurors who showed up were black."

Also, this little tidbit:

"Robert Bailey, Jr., posted, but later removed, photographs on Myspace showing him and another Jena 6 defendant with large numbers of hundred dollar bills. The source of the money is not known, and Reverend Alan Bean and family members have denied that donations have been misapplied."

DEAD CAREER WALKING

I thought the Ramones already had.

“Beat on the brat, beat on the brat, beat on the brat with a baseball bat, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh-oh...”

An all-white jury

This puke stole that line from Bob Dylan's song about "Hurricane" Carter

I also caught a glimpse of a Talk Show a while back where Johnny boy said he would forgive Osama Bin Laden, or some such sh!t like that

[Rb ver. 2.0]

This 1982 album title was prophetic:

[Darkwolf377]

from Wikipedia:

"Rallies in support of the Jena Six and all African Americans in the United States who have been unfairly treated by the justice system were held in Jena on September 20, 2007,[59] the date when Bell was scheduled for sentencing.[60] Because of the rallies' large expected size (estimates up to 40 to 60 thousand)[61] Jena High and schools on the south side of La Salle Parish were closed.[62]"

Why are people supposedly so concerned with The Chiiiiildren always having events that require schools to close?

[Libloather]

According to Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman, John Mellencamp has recorded a song about the Jena 6, the group of six African American teens who were charged in the beating of a white classmate by a district attorney largely viewed to be racially biased.

What's next - a ballad about the Rodney King incident?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

For me the thought of having to listen to John Mellencamp would be one definition of hell. I can’t stand his voice or his pretentious ‘small town’ shtick. He’s about as ‘cool’ and relevant as granny glasses and bell bottoms.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Geez, what crappy lyircs! Never mind the subject matter, they’re just lame.

[TommyDale]

60,000 people attended the freedom rally in Jena , LA recently. Only 4 of them missed work!

It is amazing! They can get 200-300 buses to Jena filled to the brim, but they can’t get on buses to get out of New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina.

What would you expect from the Mellon Head ? He needs to go back to Farm Aid.
