[DemocratSinceBirth]

I vote for the former...


I loved his work especailly from his "save the farm" period....

3. Even If We Give John Mellencamp His Props He Can Never Be The Boss

10. Maybe he doesn't want to be "the boss"

maybe this wannabe crap is all in some deluded minds. :spank: You'll have to admit he does what he can for progressive causes.

4. I can't fault JCM.

I'm in a no way a fan of his music, but he keeps it real. Still lives in his hometown (albeit, I'm sure, in a much nicer house), not to mention wasn't he one of the cofounders of Farm Aid?

[NashVegas]

6. Yes

and he had the good sense to have people like Lisa Germano and Kenny A in his band.

5. Can't compare the two

JM is totally different music from a different area of the country and a different mindset.

7. Bruce Springsteen - Bob Dylan wanna be or the read deal?

Everyone has influences. By the way, John Couger Mellancamp is the real deal.

[Left Is Write]

12. Exactly.

I've been a fan of John Mellencamp's since the late 70s.

11. They're both trying to be Woody, as is Dylan

with indifferent success. Mind you, they're all great; in some ways, all are better than Woody. Just not the same.
