[@TheMadisonHang]

he's like a healthy mix of mick jagger and james brown, love it

[@quentindugger5389]

*American Fool* was the biggest selling album of 1982. John Mellencamp planted the seed for his legacy there.

[@fredwerza3478]

I think it was a response to the death of disco in 1979 --- people were hungry for good ole rock n roll again

Definitely a crowd pleaser..

[@jamescon55]

Well, NOT quite "LIVE", at ALL... But, yeah LOOKS and sounds good 😊. Plus John is actually VERY outgoing and "energized" here, and the commadeerie he and Dick Clark share is good to see. Thx MellencampTV for the vid. John COUGAR was like an idol for me growing up back then 😏 😎🤘🔥🤘

Amazing, the drummer is Kenny Aronoff! Drummer of John Fogerty.

[@jim6820]

No longer playing for him. To bad.I guess it’s just business.

[@jamescon55]

@@jim6820 Yeah, Kenny Aronoff is gonna play with WHO'S needing a drummer 🥁 and WHO HAS THE BEST OFFER 🤌💸. (Understandingly)... But yeah, Ken WAS WITH Mellencamp "exclusively" for quite awhiles back when, and? For SOME time.... But yeah, Ken IS a session drummer 🥁 😎🤘🔥🤘

He actually never did drugs. I happened to read about that in an interview a while ago. He didn’t drink or do drugs, just smoked a ton of cigarettes

[@jamescon55]
