OK, I'm an idiot, I know, but is that true about Mellencamp? If so, my mom is going to be so upset. She thinks "Hurts So Good" is a sexy song. That was info, btw, that pretty much scarred me for life.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I sort of respect Mellencamp because he basically makes fools of repubs and heartlander types. If you actually listen to any of his songs (like, "This is Our Country" comes to mind), he's basically rejecting all the horseshit conservative hayseed shit that we've been forcefed for this last decade or so. And it's those dumbasses who buy up the music that rejects their values. I don't mind Mellencamp making money off of idiots.

Quit talking sense. I don't like his music, but you're right about his lyrics. He's a lot closer to Woody Guthrie than Toby Keith.

The thing I dislike most about Mellencamp is he's just a big ripoff. I've never heard a Mellencamp song where I couldn't tell who he was ripping off.

"I Fight Authority, Authority Always Wins"

ahem... I Fought The Law And The Law One, give me a fuckin break.

There's also a song that sounds like the U2 song Walk On and the video is a ripoff of the U2 video for All I Want Is You. Black and white, with a midget - possibly the same midget, can't remember. And then of course there's Springsteen. It would be one thing if the guy was just paying tribute to influences but not every god damn song. Plus he doesn't seem to like to admit it. Heard a recent interview with him where he actually accused Springsteen of ripping him off which I thought was hilarious, since Mellencamp wouldn't even be around if it wasn't for him being able to rip off Bruce in the 80s.
