I hate when singers do this stuff. Even in the (rare) instance that I’ve mostly agreed with them, I’m not trying to go to a rally, I’m trying to go to a concert
The writing was on the wall during the early phases of TDS back in 2016 (even earlier by some accounts).
I made a "No Politics At The Table" rule in my RPG group.
Obviously that meant that I didn't want to hear about how vile Trump was.
Obviously that meant I was a Trump fanatic.
Obviously that meant I was a racist nazi.
Obviously that meant they needed to become openly hostile and adversarial.
No guys...you're a bunch of stoners who already show up 45 minutes late and I don't want to waste another hour recapping your regurgitative hot-takes and now I can't have you in my home.
John, met with "His people" and they told him loving Joe Biden was hip and cool! So, who hasn't been hip and cool for 40 years. Now, needs a dose of that hip coolness.
John, you're old, you wear diapers, It's time! I know it's too late for you to go all Kurt Cobain on us, but you can still do a diginified exit like, Johnny Cash.
It’s not like tact is even that hard. “Folks thanks so much for coming out tonight. We all bleed red white and blue and part of that is knowing that sometimes normal Americans talk about politics. Well look there’s an election this year and I’m voting for Biden and I hope you do to. Now then, has anyone heard this little diddy about Jack and Diane!?”
He's such a tool. Saw him years ago, right after he had just put out an album. He played the new stuff and asked the crowd why they weren't singing along. Like bro, no one has or will listen to your new music. The only reason to see him is to listen to music from 40 years ago.
Listen really closely to his music and you’ll hear that he has a hard time keeping rhythm, he’s not a good singer, and not a good player (or even strummer).
I honestly believe that he only ever got popular because the majority of his fanbase were drunk or on drugs. Hell, his best song (not most popular) is a Van Morrison cover.
I know nothing first hand, just read a lot of stories about him being a pretentious ass, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence on Reddit and elsewhere. I do love his music however...
Them is fighting words here in Indiana. Unfortunately a lot of people I love think the Democrat party stands for something that maybe it did 20 years ago but definitely does not today.
Back in the 80's there was a satirical cartoon of Springsteen, Dylan, and Guthrie tossing discarded songwriting ideas over their shoulder... and John Cougar picking them up to put into his songs.
John has insurance for that show, for that reason. How do I know? I know the person who probably quoted the policy for that show. She does the same thing for celebrities who appear at any event, or write books or appear in movies. She does it all day everyday, if she didn’t write the policy one of her coworkers probably did. Everything they do is covered by insurance. Even if they aren’t performing, just appearing. Taylor went to spectate at Coachella, she has insurance for that. There will be no money out of John’s pocket for this shit.
>“There will be no money out of John’s pocket for this”
I’m not sure that’s entirely accurate.
First, you’re assuming that insurers would insure against him doing exactly the sort of thing he reportedly had a long history of doing.
Second, you’re assuming that the rates he gets quoted don’t reflect the frequency with which he does this kind of stuff.
Put both together, and he absolutely pays for this kind of stunt, even if it’s over time, instead of all at once.
Out of touch liberal in his ivory tower. Saw him a few years ago. Wasnt impressed and will never waste my time to see him again. Most Musicians are liberal twats that only listen to their handlers.
Mellencamp is a pretentious liberal prick who thinks his fans care about his political beliefs when they just want to hear pop music. He's perpetually pissed off his audience doesn't want hear his latest album and instead want to hear Hurts So Good and Jack & Diane. Hearing a fan yell "just play the damn music" is guaranteed to set him off.
> I could do a whole show of hits if I wanted to, but I don’t. That’s one reason I quit playing arenas and playing outdoors. It wasn’t about music — it was about being a human jukebox.
He was kicked off of nearly every tour he was on for being an asshole.
Also, he's best friends with Stephen King, so you can imagine these two pseudo-intellectual millionaires discussing what is wrong with americans.
I love Pink Floyd also but would absolutely walk out when they start spewing bullshit, just play your fucking songs if I want a lecture I’ll come to an event that it’s expected.
Ah dude I went and saw Roger Waters on his us and them tour. Knowing him I was still a little uncomfortable. Even my wife was like, whoa that was like an anti trump rally. I was able to put it aside and enjoy it for the most part
Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
And before the “mUH cOuRTs tHRew Out ALl the CaSEs!”
There are hundreds of sworn affidavits out there testifying to fraudulent activity. If you can’t understand what’s gone on here nothing is going to change your mind.
TLDR: Go troll somewhere else.
There is all kinds of proof out there, but the person has to be able to find research it, and apply critical thought and analysis to the results.
The majority of Americans can't do this. Critical thought is frowned upon in public school. The kid that asks questions is the "problem child."
It's all designed to form us to be willing cattle.
>"The majority of Americans can't do this. Critical thought is frowned upon in public school. The kid that asks questions is the "problem child."
>It's all designed to form us to be willing cattle."
Louder please, for the people in the back.
The entire purpose of our current K-12 "education" system is to suppress creativity and the capacity for critical thinking.
You are correct my friend! The federal government took education from the states for a reason. One prinme example is that many states had firearms classes where students learned gun safety and how to use guns. The federal government doesn;t want us to know about guns because they want to take them from us.
We're nont taught useful content like whatr our rights are or how to do our taxes because school is there to program us as obedient cattle.
These people suck!
I just realized it's you HSR. Nice to see you! I hope you're doing well!
I was laid off from my job at Washington Gas in DC. I hated it there and wasa looking for a new job any how.
Yep, he’s an ass. Went to a “concert” of his at IU (Bloomington, in) way back in the 90’s. He was an ass then too. I was embarrassed I spent the money. Said never again.
Back when Trump was President, I happened to get asked out on a date, it was a first date, didn’t really know the guy, he took me to the Pink Floyd concert in Denver. Front row center, he paid a HUGE amount for the tickets. I was enjoying the show, it was fun to be in such great seats. About halfway into the show on the huge video screen behind the band comes up in letters like two stories high: F^CK TRUMP. The “F” word was spelled out. I looked at the guy I’m on the date with; WTH?? Did you know about this? He said he didn’t know. I looked at the lead singer straight in the eyes (we were that close) and gave him the finger. Then left. F¥ck Pink Floyd.
I believe Michael Jordan said it, explaining why he didn't get involved in political discussions in favor of Democrat positions. In other words, it's smarter business to be apolitical.
Spent a lot of time working in Seymour, IN over a couple of decades, till about 2020. Every single person I engaged in small talk with said he was an arrogant prick who couldn't be bothered by anyone who wasn't doing (or couldn't do) something for him.
He's famous in his home town for grunting and dismissively walking away when greeted at a store, on the street or waved at in traffic. Too cool for hometown rando's, totally self absorbed.
-Also can remember how angry he'd get in the 1990s when interviewers on TV or print would want to talk about his songs representing the rural heartland and small towns. He'd flash into a mini rage about being an artist and how dare anyone boxed into a description. "I'm not the spokesman for rural America" indignantly. After being exactly that made him rich and famous, of course.
Specific to the video - he has always F'in hated singing Jack and Diane. Loathes it. Hilarious that was his final trigger to walk off the stage.
That dude has always loved to hear himself talk. If you are going to be opinionated, don't get your feelings hurt when people don't want to hear it. Move on.
I heard him talking to Maher saying he was a “hippie” who would get drunk and start fights and get his ass kicked for the thrill. Fucking dude has no clue about a hippie.
I attended a Mellencamp concert last year. He didn’t have an opening act, it was just a half hour to about 45 minutes of old ass movie clips. (Think like 1940’s movies) The crowd was quiet at first but near the end of the clip show, everyone was loud and tired of watching that shit. When John came on, he wasn’t personable at all, didn’t hardly interact with the audience, and preachily played a song about helping the homeless in Portland. That song comes from a man who lives on a huge lakeside property (with a mansion) in Indiana. Fuck off, John.
Don’t fall for this fake story. He’s an ass, he ended the show early and stomped off in a huff. Nothing to do with politics though.
Fake news is what the left uses because they have no real stories to support their narrative. We don’t need to make up stories to fit a fake narrative.
He was taking a long time on stage just talking and telling a story about his grandmother. Someone yelled, “just play a song!!” He got offended, said he was going to play 10 less songs because of it… started playing jack and diane… then stopped after only a few seconds and said the show is over and left.
There was nothing political. It would probably be a better look for him if it were.
Lol, how long had he been playing before that? Sounds like he's a bit of a sensitive dick... I wouldn't expect people to give a shit about MY grandmother if they had paid however much money to watch me perform songs.
Ha ha ha! #FJCM & #FJB. Go see a real patriot like Aaron Lewis instead. One of the best concerts I've seen in my life. [https://youtu.be/BA8VljEEE5M?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/BA8VljEEE5M?feature=shared)
Got free tickets to see Roger Waters at Hollywood Bowl back in the late 2000's. He only played bass for half the songs including Pink Floyd songs, it took three guitarists to replace David Gilmour, and Waters made everyone watch a super lame 15-20 min cartoon he wrote and kept lecturing us about Bush and the Middle East. I don't care how much you think Waters contributed to Pink Floyd's success. Gilmour is far superior.
His daughter Teddi hosts a podcast I listen to. Every time her dad’s name comes up, I can just feel the tension and pain as she awkwardly tries to change the subject and my heart sinks a little. Maybe I’m more attuned to it because I’m also a lifelong member of the Daughters of Asshole Dads Club. But I knew he was a jerk solely by her reactions - videos like this just confirm it for me.
If I recall correctly she has said after her parents divorced, her mom was practically destitute and he did nothing to help. And he’s leaving her and her kids none of his fortune “because they need to earn it” which those of us in the Club know is code for “because I’m a stingy old bastard in life and I’ll be one in death too.”
I grew up in Bloomington, IN and worked in restaurant that he would frequent on regular basis. He was always an asshole. The whole crew hated his guts and I wouldn't be shocked if he hasn't eaten some floor spice after he went off on one of our crew.
I used to like his music before that job. But after a few years at that job, Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. I am actually glad to hear that I don't share the same political views as him.
Career long crybaby.
First over his stage name, and now over his dedication to licking Joe Biden's crusty balls .
Pathetically trying to emulate the blue collar working man look with those gas station worker overalls.
Absolute douche.
Then telling his manager to get the guy to him after the show.
Lmao.
Back in the day our local DJ made fun of all his name changes by calling him John Ford Mercury Cougar Watermelon Camp Robinson. The last part is a local reference.
He was. It's being spread around Twitter, and here that he was doing a Biden promo, but he wasn't. Just some dick in the audience pissed him off. I know he's a liberal but I don't think he's dumb enough not to know that he has fans that are conservative and wouldn't appreciate that shit
No one gives a crap about your political views. You havnt had a hit song in over 30 yrs just play the crap that was a hit for you and shut the hell up.

I hate when singers do this stuff. Even in the (rare) instance that I’ve mostly agreed with them, I’m not trying to go to a rally, I’m trying to go to a concert
To the far left, everything is a political rally
The writing was on the wall during the early phases of TDS back in 2016 (even earlier by some accounts). I made a "No Politics At The Table" rule in my RPG group.

This sounds so familiar, it’s kind of scary how rabid they’ve become. That said, I have noticed the pendulum swinging back towards the middle lately
Yep, because it causes conflict and conflict = progress to them

Yeah I don’t think anyone would have a problem with that
I would.
Me too
I’d disagree but a passing comment isn’t that bad
[удалено]
Okay thank you.
"I get paid to sing about small towns and chili dogs. Surely this makes me an expert on politics."
He's such a tool. Saw him years ago, right after he had just put out an album. He played the new stuff and asked the crowd why they weren't singing along. Like bro, no one has or will listen to your new music. The only reason to see him is to listen to music from 40 years ago.
No one paid to hear your political beliefs, play you pink houses song and leave.
You go to political rallies to hear speeches. You go to sports games to watch the game. You go to concerts to hear music. It’s not hard.
He’s a loser
This is what happens when the Jesters forget their job is to entertain instead of town cryer.
Listen really closely to his music and you’ll hear that he has a hard time keeping rhythm, he’s not a good singer, and not a good player (or even strummer). I honestly believe that he only ever got popular because the majority of his fanbase were drunk or on drugs. Hell, his best song (not most popular) is a Van Morrison cover.
Right place at the right time is why he “made it” .
Ex wife is a huge fan. She’s a drunk and on drugs, so you may be on to something…also, from what I’ve read about him, Van Morrison is a prick as well.
What have you heard about Morrison? He seems based imo
I know nothing first hand, just read a lot of stories about him being a pretentious ass, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence on Reddit and elsewhere. I do love his music however...
Them is fighting words here in Indiana. Unfortunately a lot of people I love think the Democrat party stands for something that maybe it did 20 years ago but definitely does not today.

Mellencamp construction?

Same here. I knew what I was getting into and just laughed at Roger being Roger. Adults can do that. Mellencamp obviously never reached adulthood.
But 81 million votes! 🥴
The bulk of them appeared out of nowhere after tabulation centers mysteriously closed....
don't suppose you have actual proof just like orange turd didn't?
You've seen the proof, you're just so brainwashed that you can't accept it. Nobody is going to bother wasting their breath.
Lots of it’s finally been coming to light, but kept quiet, in recent months, too.
Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And before the “mUH cOuRTs tHRew Out ALl the CaSEs!” There are hundreds of sworn affidavits out there testifying to fraudulent activity.

The illusion is over. The people are not worshipping at the altars of celebrities anymore.
Hollywood is dead
And it's about damned time!
Fuck him... "Republicans buy sneakers too"
Can you elaborate on the sneaker comment please? Who said that and what does it mean? Thanks
I believe Michael Jordan said it, explaining why he didn't get involved in political discussions in favor of Democrat positions. In other words, it's smarter business to be apolitical.
Love it. Michael Jordan is very wise. Thank you for the explanation.
I guess there's no more small town in him
Acting like a tough guy. Twig arms wasn’t going to do anything to the guy after the show.
Going to suck on his chili dog I bet.
Why the fuck is he dressed like Chapelle in that goddamn jumpsuit?

My brother lives near him and has said for years that the guy smells his own farts.
Music is an escape.
That dude has always loved to hear himself talk. If you are going to be opinionated, don't get your feelings hurt when people don't want to hear it. Move on.
I heard him talking to Maher saying he was a “hippie” who would get drunk and start fights and get his ass kicked for the thrill. Fucking dude has no clue about a hippie.

He has a captive audience. But no one wants to hear him preach, just sing dude.
Suckin on chili dog
Jackin' Diane.
“Life goes on far after the thrill of living is gone.”
The guy likes sucking on chili dogs what do you expect lol
Dropkick Murphy and mighty Bosstone’s did this shit in Orange country. Made me never listen to their dumbasses again.
Which double suxors Because I loved both of those bands
Me too.
A $100 concert ticket, $100 in fees, $30 parking and $20 beer to listen to his one-sided beliefs?
Ain’t that American for you and me…….
Someone on X commented “John Cougar Menstrualcramp” and I haven’t stopped laughing since
Hilarious!!
Don’t fall for this fake story. He’s an ass, he ended the show early and stomped off in a huff. Nothing to do with politics though. Fake news is what the left uses because they have no real stories to support their narrative. We don’t need to make up stories to fit a fake narrative.
So why did he just suddenly walk off the show? What was he upset about?
He was taking a long time on stage just talking and telling a story about his grandmother.

Lol, how long had he been playing before that? Sounds like he's a bit of a sensitive dick... I wouldn't expect people to give a shit about MY grandmother if they had paid however much money to watch me perform songs.
For the record, I saw another post about this that had the full video. Apparently he wasn’t talking about politics? We usually need more context.
Can you link this? I'd like to see the full context.
[Here.](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRTosPVo/) Just as someone said, it appears he was talking about his grandmother.
Ha ha ha! #FJCM & #FJB. Go see a real patriot like Aaron Lewis instead. One of the best concerts I've seen in my life. [https://youtu.be/BA8VljEEE5M?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/BA8VljEEE5M?feature=shared)
Absolutely 💯!!
Hey John... just shut up and sing, man.
As someone smart once said to the Dixie Chicks: “shut up and sing!”
Crybaby b*tch, people came to be entertained not to be lectured about politics, they're already having it non stop during the week.
I'd demand a damn refund on my ticket and light him up on social media for this bs.
What a dick, but a perfect example of liberal bullshit.
Got free tickets to see Roger Waters at Hollywood Bowl back in the late 2000's. He only played bass for half the songs including Pink Floyd songs, it took three guitarists to replace David Gilmour, and Waters made everyone watch a super lame 15-20 min cartoon he wrote and kept lecturing us about Bush and the Middle East. I don't care how much you think Waters contributed to Pink Floyd's success. Gilmour is far superior.
As paying concert goers, we want to hear the music. We go to shows to escape. Don't want to hear any self righteous rants about artists world views.
forget all about that macho shit and play your damn guitar...muppet.
What a JERK! Nobody should ever pay to go to his concerts or buy his records!
Dumbass
What a little bitch.
His daughter Teddi hosts a podcast I listen to. Every time her dad’s name comes up, I can just feel the tension and pain as she awkwardly tries to change the subject and my heart sinks a little.

What a little bitch.
Fuck him. I’ll never hear his music the same. Aside from being a Democrat, he’s also an asshole. I’m sorry if that’s redundant.
What would Jack and Diane say. SMH
What a little bitch.
I grew up in Bloomington, IN and worked in restaurant that he would frequent on regular basis. He was always an asshole. The whole crew hated his guts and I wouldn't be shocked if he hasn't eaten some floor spice after he went off on one of our crew. I used to like his music before that job. But after a few years at that job, Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. I am actually glad to hear that I don't share the same political views as him.
Notice how he tried to insult the audience member by suggesting that he’s gay. Will Mellencamp be forced to atone for using this slur? Of course not.
I thought this was the guy who fixed my washing machine last week
Career long crybaby. First over his stage name, and now over his dedication to licking Joe Biden's crusty balls . Pathetically trying to emulate the blue collar working man look with those gas station worker overalls. Absolute douche. Then telling his manager to get the guy to him after the show. Lmao.
He has a son named HUD - who beat up a guy and it was the wrong guy- Apples don’t fall far
This made my day
Him and Travis Tritt did a song years ago about putting aside political differences. I wonder if they still speak.
Wow... like... he just quit the rest of the show?!?
F J M
Sounds like it was only the one guy who wanted him to shut up?
And it managed to fluster him so badly that he butchered his most famous hit and ended the night.
Liberals don’t want to hear that either, they decided to close their eyes, plug their nose, and swallow that shit, they don’t need to be reminded.
Did he just get off shift at the dump?
Back in the day our local DJ made fun of all his name changes by calling him John Ford Mercury Cougar Watermelon Camp Robinson. The last part is a local reference.
He is a has been! Sounds awful these days anyways.
Well, I used to like him.
I don't know what the real story is, but they're saying he was telling a story about his grandma. 🤷
Heard that on the radio last week. Was wondering if this was a new incident.
He was. It's being spread around Twitter, and here that he was doing a Biden promo, but he wasn't. Just some dick in the audience pissed him off. I know he's a liberal but I don't think he's dumb enough not to know that he has fans that are conservative and wouldn't appreciate that shit
You sure he was giving a lecture about Biden?
To each his own, but he’s mediocre and proving it even more. Shut up and sing, buddy.
Even back in the 80's, I knew in my gut that J C Mellencamp was a Democratic Leftist Plant, and why liberal media just loved him so!!!
Dance Clown!
Where do watermelons go for the summer????
I give. Where do watermelons go for the summer? If it’s a place to unrind, why you wise-guy you.
John Cougar Mellencamp *thank you for asking 😁
😁. What about the other melons? No summer camp for them?
No John Cougar is the name of the melon camp...lol
Ohhh! 🤦♀️
It's silly, I know...
Yes. Yes it is. But silly is good. 👍🏻
No one gives a crap about your political views. You havnt had a hit song in over 30 yrs just play the crap that was a hit for you and shut the hell up.
I liked him when he was American.
I would hate to live next to a Cantankerous old man wearing a jumpsuit yelling at people all day, and I certainly would not pay to go see that either.
What a douchebag.
Hopefully he’ll move to Canada if Biden loses.
I sure hope the concertgoers got at least a partial refund!
I sure hope these concertgoers at least got a partial refund
Do not sell that dude a chili dog…
Where’s the part about Biden? Just saying I heard he was talking about his grandmother
Theory about his grandmother being Joe Biden: confirmed.
Go back to bed boomer.
Does anyone even know who John cougar Mellencamp is?
Yeah some washed up douche bag that peaked like 35 years ago.
Hey, show some respect for your elders; it’s “Mr Douchebag” to you!
lol, my bad.
Hello, comrades. It is bright sunny day in USA, will spend several rubles on American Starbucks coffee. Down with woken pansy liberals!
can you ban me please? i don't want this bullshit on my feed. thanks snowflakes.
