Another reason not to buy GM.
R. O. C. K. n’ the USA!
Oh, yeah. Life goes on. Long after the thrill of livin’ is gone.
My guess is that once Indianans get a whiff of the rock star life style, they’ll reject it big time. Hoosiers are not people who tolerate those who’ll embarrass them.
Sounds like a little story about Jack and Brian...
I wrote a letter to my senator last week telling him to stop spending my hard-earned money and I sang the National Anthem at a major university event once. And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last week. I guess I'm qualified too.
Just saying... all the other loser morons are either already there or running....and the rest of them are running for the hills!
Yes, you should.
All of John Cougar Mellencamp's songs are about small towns and aimless country teenagers sucking on chili dogs behind the Tastee Freeze and grain silos and rain on the scarecrows and blood on the plows and collapsed mineshafts and croplands turned to dust and farmers losing their land that grandpa cleared to the bank and old trucks and coon hounds with ticks in their ears and shit.
His schtick is basically a complete ripoff of Bruce Springsteen's ballads dedicated to closed steel mills and unemployed union workers standing outside of a factory with the windows painted shut and Vietnam vets dying from Agent Orange while losing their feet to diabetes and highways jammed with SS396 Chevelles carrying broken heroes on a last chance power drive and shit.
Oh, and they both have the sleeves ripped off their denim jackets.
Just ridiculous. You have to be from some alfalfa patch in central Indiana or some Vinnie from a run down steel town in Philadelphia to really like that music. I am not, so I don't.
I like your take on Mellencamp but hey, I still like the song.
You sound like a person of refinement but damn you have no sense of diplomacy.
I was with you but you sure like to insult people, don’t you?
Nobody here was insulting you, but be ashamed that you like Mellencamp.
ok
But remember that even though Obambi won Minnesota big...ole Al Franken was way back losing by over 700 votes until recount shenanigans. This time there will be no coattails.
