All I'm doing is painting. It's my hobby. And that's that.
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

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 remember the first time I saw a CD, a technology guy brought one to my house and said we will be able to sell millions and millions of players, and people will have to restock their record collections. It was all about money. It was all about how much money we would make, we being him.

John Mellencamp
To say that we're doomed is just an obvious remark.
John Mellencamp
This is not a rock opera. This is not Tommy. I can write songs that emote, and that's it.
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
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 would never say John Kerry would be a great president. I will say that George Bush has divided us he has filled this country with hatred.
John Mellencamp
I've just been fortunate to havehad a lot of hit records, though Human Wheels doesn't qualify as a hit record-but it's really the best single I've ever had.
John Mellencamp
Dear Mr. President, can I ask you a question, when the bombs fall down will they hurt everyone in my family?
John Mellencamp
Future generations, riding on the highways that we built, I hope they have a better understanding.
John Mellencamp
I think the Internet is the most dangerous thing invented since the atomic bomb.
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
Turning music into digital was just a con, a record-company con.
John Mellencamp
Natalie from the Dixie Chicks could have said what she said before 9-11 and no one would have cared.
