More quotes by 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
All I can do is repeat what I think is the best information that anybody ever gave me.

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
I think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb.
John Mellencamp
Be careful of those who kill in Jesus' name he don't believe in killing at all.
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
You have to reinvent yourself.
John Mellencamp
Music actually meant something when I started doing it. Too bad I wasn't mature enough to write anything that meant anything.
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
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?
John Mellencamp
Grandma's on the front porch with a Bible in her hand, sometimes I hear her singing take me to the promised land.

Don't ever lose that innocent laughter, don't let time take that away
