More quotes by 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
It's my responsibility as a singer-songwriter to report the news.
John Mellencamp
I do things my way and I pay a high price.
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
Bob Dylan's first couple of records in the 60's weren't considered cover records, but he only wrote one or two original songs on each album.
John Mellencamp
All I can do is repeat what I think is the best information that anybody ever gave me.
John Mellencamp
I have a bunch of information in my head that I'm not afraid to put in song or onto a canvas. Into any conversation.
John Mellencamp
The dust to which this flesh shall return, it is the ancient dreaming dust of God.
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
Turning music into digital was just a con, a record-company con.
John Mellencamp
I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past.
John Mellencamp
You shouldn't even be in a band if you can't play Buddy Holly's Not Fade Away.
John Mellencamp
I know a lot of funny people in a lot of funny places.
John Mellencamp
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
This is not a rock opera. This is not Tommy. I can write songs that emote, and that's it.
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
With no bottom line, it's hard to know wrong from right. But I ain't ever satisfied.
John Mellencamp
Future generations, riding on the highways that we built, I hope they have a better understanding.
John Mellencamp
Most people in life, give up too early.
