More quotes by John Mellencamp
Bob Dylan's first couple of records in the 60's weren't considered cover records, but he only wrote one or two original songs on each album.
John Mellencamp
The CD, it should be noted, was born out of greed. It was devised to prop up record sales on the expectation of people replenishing their record collections with CDs of albums they had already purchased.
John Mellencamp
I do things my way and I pay a high price.
John Mellencamp
Some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy, that I'm uneducated, that my opinion means nothing, but I know I'm a real good dancer.
John Mellencamp
I'm trying to write for people my age. And my inspiration over the years has changed dramatically.
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
When politicians use fear, they are playing into the enemy's hand.
John Mellencamp
We could walk 3 minutes and be on the beach. I think the music kind of suffered because of it. It kind of smelled like Jimmy Buffett, which is a bad thing.
John Mellencamp
I've never had anybody produce my records. I've always produced my own records. I've worked with a guy for a while who was an engineer who helped me produce records, but I've always made my own records. I'm a control fanatic. I've got to control everything.
John Mellencamp
When you live in hysteria, people start thinking emotionally.
John Mellencamp
With no bottom line, it's hard to know wrong from right. But I ain't ever satisfied.
John Mellencamp
Be careful of those who kill in Jesus' name he don't believe in killing at all.
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.
John Mellencamp
This is serious business, sex, violence, and rock and roll.
John Mellencamp
The dust to which this flesh shall return, it is the ancient dreaming dust of God.
John Mellencamp
She said she wasn't afraid of Satan, in fact, she thought he was a joke. She said she'd tear his tail off and run her fist down his throat.
