John Mellencamp
I know a lot of funny people in a lot of funny places.
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
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.
