She’s a very special woman. Insightful, kind and passionate about music and life. 😊

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

His label wouldn’t let him use his own name, that’s how “John Cougar” came to be. Then his career took off and he wanted to proudly use his own name so he added “Mellencamp” at the end, just to keep the familiarity because people already knew him as “John Cougar”. Then when people got use to that, he was finally at a place he could drop “Cougar” altogether. So he went through a few name reinventions, but he remained consistent throughout it all turning out one hit after another! ♥️

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Just to add to that: They actually made him use the name "Johnny Cougar" at the beginning because they didn't think people would buy albums from a guy with a "weird German-sounding last name." He hated the name because he thought it sounded cheesy and because, as he said in an interview later, "No one's ever called me Johnny." They gave him the choice of either using the name or not getting signed so he accepted the name change in order to not lose the chance at the record deal.

[@georgeglasser8220]

Johnny Cougar. I'm a Hoosier and have seen this man in concert many times.

[@bigsteve9279]

[@marksfarmcraft1888]

Yes! All of them!

[@LMmccallL57]

@Ginger Sherrod I was glad they reacted to "Cherry Bomb", as it's one of my favorites, too. I hope the others you mentioned will follow, soon.

[@NotBenCoultry]

Yep, those and "I need a lover" are some of the best songs of the era

[@recoil53]

"Authority Song" - I've never stopped calling out BS of those above f*cking over regular people. As former employers will tell you.

[@Fritzi_A]

Rain On the Scarecrow as well

[@surlechapeau]

J/Amber, you'll love his "Pink Houses", "Authority Song" and "I Need A Lover"! He was huge in the 80s. I Need A Lover is from his days as John Cougar.

[@yelnek4548]

Love the intro on 'I Need A Lover'.

[@jackwells8107]

Don't forget Crumblin' Down. However, I feel like Mellencamp did his best work with Lonesome Jubilee and I think Cherry Bomb was my favorite of all his work.

[@kakarikiyazoo]

Pat Benatar did a cover of "I Need A Lover" on her first album which is really good too.

[@Darkhuntersrule]

Ya'll remember when MTV Gave away a pink house in I think Indiana as a promo to the song, But the house was like next to either a dump or toxic waste site LOL

[@papamaniac2410]

@@Darkhuntersrule MTV ran a contest based on this song where they gave away a Pink House. Unfortunately, the house was on a toxic waste dump in Indiana. Mellencamp did not want to poison his fans, so he refused to let them give it away. MTV ended up buying another house and painting it pink for the contest. The winner moved in for 2 days before selling it.

[@marc_from_seasideca2378]

John Mellencamp is a national treasure. You should listen to "Little Pink Houses", "Check It Out", "Rain On The Scarecrow", "Small Town", "Ain't Even Done With The Night", and "I Need A Lover".

[@tambuistuff]

Little Pink Houses is the best song about America that has ever been written. Someone prove me wrong!

[@diannestucki5732]

Ain't Even Done with the Night is my favorite Mellencamp song, even if not his biggest hit.

[@ronrodier9496]

Cougar was the name the record company wanted him to use. He hated it and once he made it big and had the chance he changed it back to his real name

[@ODN67]

Yep, Johnny Cougar then used John Cougar Mellencamp for the transition so people could follow him across and then finally dropped Cougar altogether.

[@siouxzanne64]

An Indiana guy! Cougar was a name he was given by the record label when he first started. He changed it back to his real name, mellencamp so he dropped cougar. Listening him in my teen years(80’s) he’s stil rocking and hot at 71. Major rabbit hole in his collection

[@waynehickey5527]

Nice to see a stretch of Interstate named after him.

[@armadillotoe]

"Rain on the Scarecrow" IMO is the song he put his heart into. It is about small farmers losing their farms. John is a small town boy who still lives in his small town. He began music as John Cougar because the music industry made him. but soon decided to use his real name Mellencamp because he hated fake.

[@Stan_sprinkle]

I love that line “you ain’t as green as you are young”

[@ChicagoDB]

Amber started to recognize it, then that first line came…loved seeing her light up! Mellencamp…great rabbit hole to go down [along with Seger and Springsteen].

[@pammym190]

Hey guys.. if you actually heard John talk.. he’s very soft spoken… I have loved his music for many many many many years!!! And his paintings are incredible too!!✌️

[@bradsullivan2495]

Three of his songs (among others) worth reacting to : 'R.O.C.K. in the USA"--a tribute to a number of musical legends; "Rain on the Scarecrow"--about the plight of the American farmer; "Paper in Fire"--which has some great violin work.

Got a deep well w/ Mellencamp .. if I may suggest going back to his 1st hit when he was known as Johnny Cougar: 'Ain't Even Done w/ The Night' .. it's a beautiful soft-rock ballad .. you guys would love it!. ps: he has MANY great songs.

[@mokumboi19]

Actually, his first hit was I Need A Lover. But yeah, both songs are great.

[@charlenecross28]

Yes. Just said the same thing. Still my favorite of his. I dated A guy who's sister was married to his brother. He took me back stage once. And of all the weird thing he changed his guitar strings and gave me his old eyes. Lol

I ❤️ JCM. Lots of us Gen X parents out there exposed our kids to music from our youth. Music… and by extension MTV was so much a major driver of our pop culture that it would be nearly impossible to not have our kids know our tunes. It’s funny, my 20 yr old is going through a Johnny Cougar faze right now. Hearing lots of Scarecrow & Lonesome Jubilee from his room lately 😂

[@jwine4145]

An artist with three names over his career (John Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp and finally John Mellencamp). Rain on the Scarecrow has always been a favorite

[@jeffreymosher6334]

And initially, Johnny Cougar, as management wanted him to use a stage name the mid-late 70s and that Mellencamp wouldn't market well. John's first step was to transition Johnny to John, before reclaiming his real name gradually through his career.

[@alexandervasel6845]

Mine too! I just listened to it. Really stirs emotions every time I hear it! Fit perfectly with the first Farm Aid concert!

Amber, your reaction to Hurts is so precious! When you're 40+ years older. God willing, and hear it again, you'll have a sense of what these songs, and your reactions to them, mean to us. Like you, we remember.

[@Renkk17]

First it was John Cougar because of show business, then he put his real last name John Cougar Mellencamp, and then he just dropped the Cougar part....so to make sure you get the right song and time period I just look at the full 3 part name! Also check out his songs - Crumblin Down - Pink Houses - Paper and Fire - Authority Song - Scarecrow

[@caseymoe816]

Amber!! That face and those expressions were absolutely classic! It’s a fantastic feeling isn’t it when you hear songs you heard long ago. Takes us all right back to those times. Great pick!

[@dagmar.6954]

John's style of singing or genre is called heartland rock as he sang a lot about blue-collar, farmers & truckers themes. He has had so many hits especially in the 80's such as "Hurts So Good", "Jack & Diane", "Crumblin' Down", "Pink Houses", "Lonely Ol' Night", "Small Town", "R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.", "Paper &n Fire", "Cherry Bomb" etc.

Mellencamp has a ton of great songs. Rain on the Scarecrow, Pink Houses, Cherry Bomb, Paper and Fire, Small Town, and my favorite "Check it out". You have to call him John Mellencamp he hates the Cougar moniker. It was thrust on him by a record exec who hated his last name. After he became a legitimate success he dropped it. He really, really hates it.

There are hits by Mellenkamp that you would like, like "Small Town", "Pink Houses", "Jack and Diane". I would suggest "Ain't Even Done With the Night" and "Wild Night (is calling)". And yes, the rasp in his voice just makes the lyrics resonate even more.

[@christopherrichardson5352]

John started out as Johnny Cougar, then John Cougar, then John Cougar Mellencamp and finally his "given" name John Mellencamp which is what he goes by to this day. And yes Marc he is a national treasure in the United States. He is also a treasure and Rock and Roll icon here in my country of Canada and around the world. I literally grew up on John's songs in the 80's. Some of my favorite albums of all time are John's work.

He still has it. You live and die with it. He was lucky to be born with a mild form. Though yes when he was born there was far less known about it. It’s doubtful that he would’ve died. Thankfully. Only if there had been medical negligence at play.

[@rray848]

John went through a number of name changes... When he first started in 1976 he was convinced he wasn't marketable with the name Mellencamp. They had him change his name to Cougar and for his first album he was Johnny Cougar. When he released his third album in 1979 he shortened it to John Cougar. He started making some hits and used his new fame to force the record company to let him change his name to John Cougar Mellencamp (that was in 1982). After getting a couple albums under his belt as Cougar-Mellencamp he finally dropped the Cougar completely in 1991 with his album "Whenever We Wanted".

[@L1623VP]

Have they ever done Same Auld Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg? I think she'd really like it. At least I think they like story songs. That's a terrific one. Speaking of story songs, I'd also like to see what they think of "I've Never Been to Me" by Charlene.

[@jerickson725]

When he hit with Jack and Diane and became very famous he was going by his stage name John Cougar. After he became famous he started using his real name John Mellencamp.

Always a great reaction: John Mellencamp ("Cougar" was his marketing team's idea in the 80's). WHO DEY from Cincinnati!

[@kbusby4824]

John is a long time smoker, and it definitely has affected the tone/texture of his voice. You can certainly hear it in his latest album which is fantastic. I saw him in Champaign, Illinois in 1985 on the Scarecrow tour. It was a fantastic concert. Definitely a wonderful representative of the Midwest where I grew up.

[@tjhunger8644]

I saw an interview recently by Sammy Hagar on his show rock and roll road trip with John Mellencamp it was very insightful Sammy travels to Bloomington Indiana to interview John at his art studio and discuss his career, farm aid, and his passion for painting. Along with them singing the song Delia. If you're not familiar with the song Delia it's a beautiful traditional song off of Bob Dylan's album world gone wrong, if you want to catch that interview it should be on AXS TV or KZbin

His name is John Mellencamp. But when he was on the come up the executives gave him a stage name of John Cougar, or Johnny Cougar, which he never liked. He added "Mellencamp" between when he got bigger, then eventually dropped the Cougar to use his real name once he was established.
