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'm trying to write for people my age. And my inspiration over the years has changed dramatically.
John Mellencamp
The Internet is the wrong direction for music.
John Mellencamp
The greatest thing that ever happened to (my career) was the breakdown of the record companies, because there were no more stupid questions about how many hits are on the next record. It was very liberating.
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 think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb.
