John Mellencamp
With no bottom line, it's hard to know wrong from right. But I ain't ever satisfied.
John Mellencamp
I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?

We lost our way a long time ago with technology. Just because something is an advancement by going digital - that was a huge (expletive) mistake. It was a way for people to make money, but it sure didn't improve sound or quality of record making. It made it faster, cheaper, but it isn't as durable.
John Mellencamp
You have to reinvent yourself.

John Mellencamp
In so many musicals today, the story is moved forward by a song. I don't think we're gonna try to do that.
John Mellencamp
The reason I said the Internet is dangerous is that a couple smart guys could hack into a computer and shut down the Eastern seaboard if they wanted to. It's a terrible, out-of-control thing.
John Mellencamp
I have a bunch of information in my head that I'm not afraid to put in song or onto a canvas. Into any conversation.
John Mellencamp
A lot of Woody Guthrie's songs were taken from other songs. He would rework the melody and lyrics, and all of a sudden it was a Woody Guthrie song.
John Mellencamp
Most people in life, give up too early.
John Mellencamp
I remember the first time I saw a CD, a technology guy brought one to my house and said we will be able to sell millions and millions of players, and people will have to restock their record collections. It was all about money. It was all about how much money we would make, we being him.
