that song is awful, and way post '92 ;)

 

but come the fuck on:

 

Crumblin' Down

The Authority Song

Pink Houses

Small Town

Jackie Brown

Check It Out

Pop Singer

Cherry Bomb

Paper In Fire

Hurts So Good

Jack & Diane

I Need a Lover

No More Than Ever

 

dude made for one helluva greatest hits imo. American Fool & Scarecrow were both pretty great records too.

 

sure it's cheesy, but it's pretty damn heartfelt midwest americana from the 80's for me.

Lonesome Jubilee is a great album but Brian Henneman had it right though:

 

 

Sitting in this bar is getting more than I can stand

If I could catch a ride I really think I'd ditch this van

Who knows what this repair will cost, scared to spend a dime

I'll puke if that jukebox plays John Cougar one more time

I've always looked at Mellencamp in the same way I look at Tom Petty - they each have a lot of really good songs that I can go years without hearing. But when I do hear them, they sound good.

:cheers

 

although i'd definitely give Tom Petty a lil more cred

I read that press release before. A pile of shit by any other name...

 

Although the rest of the lyrics of the song (that no one will ever here) aren't quite as bad.

 

There's room enough here

For science to live

And there's room enough here

For religion to forgive

And try to understand

The other people of this world

This is our country...

 

That poverty could be

Just another ugly thing

And bigotry could be

Seen only as obscene

And the ones that run this land

Will help the poor and common man

This is our country...

And Tom Petty made the best video ever ("You Got Lucky"...w/ the Mad Max Heartbreakers).

That's a good 'un,but I was always partial to "Don't Come Around Here No More".
