More quotes by John Mellencamp
My voice has gotten better from smoking.
John Mellencamp
Unemployment is sky-rocketing deflation is in our future for the first time since the Great Depression. I don't care whose fault it is, it's the truth.
John Mellencamp
I think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb.
John Mellencamp
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 need a lover that won't drive me crazy, someone that knows the meaning of hey, hit the highway.
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
All I can do is repeat what I think is the best information that anybody ever gave me.
John Mellencamp
I went to New York in 1974, to either try to get a record deal, get into the New York Art Student League, or be a dancer. So that was my plan. Some plan. And I had no money.
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
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
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
Natalie from the Dixie Chicks could have said what she said before 9-11 and no one would have cared.
John Mellencamp
Future generations, riding on the highways that we built, I hope they have a better understanding.
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'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
You shouldn't even be in a band if you can't play Buddy Holly's Not Fade Away.
John Mellencamp
I'm trying to write for people my age. And my inspiration over the years has changed dramatically.
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.
John Mellencamp
You have to reinvent yourself.
John Mellencamp
Dear Mr. President, can I ask you a question, when the bombs fall down will they hurt everyone in my family?
