Mr. John Mellencamp made the midwestern anthems of America. Nobody was cooler. Thank you!

[@redskywalker3374]

yea he was something else .. anyone can see that ..

[@johnconway9882]

@@redskywalker3374 And really SOMEONE else. He destroyed himself (and his voice) with chain smoking, and just a sour bitter personality

[@jasontruss9740]

Couldn’t agree more

[@chrisryan9986]

Nobody IS cooler

[@anthonymichaelhalloates2902]

He’s been called the simple man’s singer songwriter. But to say it better. He’s the simple minded man’s singer songwriter.

[@78ramcharger53]

Pink houses, one of the best songs of all time.

[@kevinhaley6776]

I agree tells about small town america wish i could have seen him in his early days

[@budsodalsky]

@@kevinhaley6776I saw him in his early days - first time - 1986 - much better with his original band

[@timwatley4524]

It’s always great to see the musicians that have played with him for years. Says something about loyalty.

[@trade0714]

Yep, in spite of all the abuse they had to take to hang onto their jobs, per "Mellencamp", by Paul Rees.

[@OttoByOgraffey]

John's song, "I need a lover" is my personal favorite.

[@dancollins8296]

I'd say that's his best song

[@bowriverblues8445]

John was big here in Australia....I remember being in my early teens in the 80s and being introduced to his music, seeing this reminded me of how good his songs were.

[@terriemorales2409]

He's magic

Me too😊

What a great singer songwriter !! I’m from Indiana and am also a singer songwriter also one thing is about John he really put out the hits !! 👍👏👏👏😊🎤🎸🎸

John mellencamp carved a unique musical career

[@austinmaness8339]

You could tell he had so much less enthusiasm about the older songs. Probably sang them a million times. What a voice.

Love this dude’s music and moral conviction. Respect

The songs that most resonated with me and mirrored my life was A Little Night Dancin & Sugar Marie

[@michaellubeck8464]

What an INCREDIBLE Talent Mellencamp is (and Howard too)

[@voiceguy3635]

What a distinctive voice--which is just as important as anything else in becoming a popular--or legendary singer.All the great ones could claim that quality.

[@donellefeltham]

Do forget John had his first No 1 here in Australia. The song I want a Lover and we all down here wanted to be his Lover. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸🕺🏻💃🎸☘️

This is so great! Just part of the "musical web" of my life. Bravo Mr. Mellencamp!

[@KMTOLEDO]

Sadly, his voice is poor now. He can barely croak out his songs now.

[@redskywalker3374]

I saw Johnny at the township auditorium not too many years ago ...It was on a whim that I went .. parked my car on the street & went to visit the 80s once more ...it felt good ..& cool ..yea I was smiling ..

America's best individual song writer by far 🇺🇸

Not Dylan? Mellencamp will tell you that
