More quotes by 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.

My voice has gotten better from smoking.

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.

You cannot expect the guy who drove the car into the ditch to navigate it out of the ditch. You have to put a new driver in the seat. I'm not saying the new driver is going to be any better, but we need a new driver. Kerry is the only choice.

Natalie from the Dixie Chicks could have said what she said before 9-11 and no one would have cared.

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.

All I can do is repeat what I think is the best information that anybody ever gave me.
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
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
She said she wasn't afraid of Satan, in fact, she thought he was a joke. She said she'd tear his tail off and run her fist down his throat.
John Mellencamp
I'm trying to write for people my age. And my inspiration over the years has changed dramatically.
John Mellencamp
For me or a Bruce Springsteen to sit up in our ivory towers and make comments about racism, well, were not really in it, are we?
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
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'm doing is painting. It's my hobby. And that's that.
John Mellencamp
Turning music into digital was just a con, a record-company con.
John Mellencamp
To say that we're doomed is just an obvious remark.
