"If you look at the world as a global family, and your little brother kills somebody else in the family, you don't get all the big brothers together and kill that brother," Mellencamp says. If you look at the world as a global family, you are an idiot. Even Muslim extremists don't view the world in this way.

They should play Grand Funk Railroad.
I believe Mark Farner(One of the best singers there is) is conservative.

Could be worse. Could be like in my case that I keep finding that more and more of my favorite musicians are left-wingers.
At least there is still Grand Funk Railroad, Nugent, Ozzy, and AC/DC.

Sometimes love don't
Feel like it should
You make it
Hurt so good

I always found John Mellencamp's music to be derivative as well as banal. I never bought the 'small-town bad-boy' image either. Mellencamp worked
way too hard at it. Now this from Mellencamp:
"This revenge thing I'm not big on. Nationalism has led people down the wrong path before."
6,000 + dead on American soil and when we strike back it's 'nationalism'?
Mellencamp is entitled to his idiotic opinion but this kind of mushy-headed foolishness is why these 'rock stars' have to be called on this anti-American crap. They don't have a clue and they need to be challenged on their foolish opinions, not fawned over. John Mellencamp is a fool if he believes our response to September 11th is sheer 'nationalism'. An overpaid, overpraised and over-exposed fool, at that.

That was very, very mean. LOL
To: riley1992
LOL! You kind of asked for it with this:
I couldn't stand his music prior to reading this
To: NoCurrentFreeperByThatName
That's like saying I 'kinda' asked for taxes to be taken out of our income. I will get you back, just so you know. LOL
To: riley1992
I will get you back, just so you know. LOLOh no! Well, as long as you make it,
Hurt so good
Come on baby,
Make it hurt so good
That is not a challenge. I just couldn't help myself.LOL
To: Jim Scott
If anybody's interested, John Mellencamp is going to be on Letterman in the next half hour. It's possible, but not likely, that he's going to offer some pearls of wisdom during his appearance.
