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
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy, someone that knows the meaning of hey, hit the highway.
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
In so many musicals today, the story is moved forward by a song. I don't think we're gonna try to do that.
