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've never fit in in any music world. I've always been an outsider. I mean, the fact that I live in Indiana - I live in a fly-over state... I'm not running away from anything, that's the problem. Most people go to cities because they don't like where they come from.
John Mellencamp
Dear Mr. President, can I ask you a question, when the bombs fall down will they hurt everyone in my family?
John Mellencamp
It's my responsibility as a singer-songwriter to report the news.
John Mellencamp
When you live in hysteria, people start thinking emotionally.
John Mellencamp
I know a lot of funny people in a lot of funny places.

I think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb.
John Mellencamp
If Woody Guthrie set the bar for American songwriters, Bob Dylan jumped right over it. No one I know will ever come close to possessing the beauty of melody and the use of language that Dylan shares with us, with ease.
John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp
This is not a rock opera. This is not Tommy. I can write songs that emote, and that's it.
