His music is about growing up in the late 70's early 80's. Fantastic musician and so are the session musicians that helped make the songs with him.

Player #7106191, I heard that they forced him to use Cougar as a stage name because Mellencamp wasn't likeable; but when he got enough power from his fame he went back to his given name, which was what he wanted in the first pace.

We always said "Little Pink Houses" could be the National Anthem. Love him. He continues to work on Farm Aid. He's just true to himself.
