More quotes by 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
When you live in hysteria, people start thinking emotionally.
John Mellencamp
The reason I said the Internet is dangerous is that a couple smart guys could hack into a computer and shut down the Eastern seaboard if they wanted to. It's a terrible, out-of-control thing.
John Mellencamp
This is serious business, sex, violence, and rock and roll.
John Mellencamp
Don't ever lose that innocent laughter, don't let time take that away
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
I think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb.
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
It's my responsibility as a singer-songwriter to report the news.
John Mellencamp
It's what you do and not what you say. If you're not part of the future, then get out of the way!

John Mellencamp
I think it's ridiculous to try to sell records to teenagers, because teenagers don't buy my records. And there ain't that many teenagers out there in the marketplace.
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
The simple man, baby, pays for the thrills, the bills, and the pills that kill.
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
Immersing yourself in the environment of a real record store where music is celebrated and cherished adds real value to the experience of buying music. In some ways, that retail experience is as important as the music.
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
The Internet is the wrong direction for music.
John Mellencamp
When politicians use fear, they are playing into the enemy's hand.
