  • John Mellencamp performs "Cherry Bomb" at the Farm Aid concert in Raleigh, NC on September 13, 2014.
    Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

    Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

    My late husband and I would dance in the living room to this song. My girls loved watching us. After he died I went to a Mellencamp concert and yelled for him to play Cherry Bomb for an encore and he did. Not sure if influenced him but I cried when he played it.

      I'm from Indiana and came up listening to every album. No doubt he's a great song writer and celebrity.
      I got to meet him once. I worked at a glass factory designing a mosaic of Jesus for his shower. I remembering thinking that was weird, why does he want Jesus to stare at him while taking a shower?

    Remembering my teenage years -- dancing at the clubs, getting sick on Southern Comfort, fast cars, falling in love, and fun I thought would never end. "Seventeen just turned thirty-five," Yeah, and many more decades, but I remember it all well. So glad for the 50s, 60s and 70s. Thank you, John and all the singers, groups and musicians -- the soundtrack of our lives.

    this song will always have a special place for me in my memories , 1988, I was 22 yrs old , decided to travel for 6months with 2 friends , flew from London to Vancouver , great fun , then flew to San Francisco , more great fun . Then got a greyhound to santa Barbara . worked and hung out with some fantastic people here . working on a construction site all day and then party all night . this song was played all the time then and brings back all the happy memories of a great time

    I love this man and his songs that he has shared with the world. I remember as a child I saw him on the Grammy's doing I Ain't Even Done With The Night. I did not get the end when they were trying to put the cape on him and he kept shrugging it off. ThenI figured out much later he was immitating James Brown!!!! I still watch that video on here. I wish I could meet him and tell him how much many of his songs touched me.

    Had a guest singer come up and sing this song with my band last Tuesday night. Never rehearsed but turned out quite good. Our harp player played the violin parts. This is such a really deep and cool song, and of course, John can really belt it out, along with his terrific band. I truly love this. This is the real Americam music. No computers, no fluff, just real musicians making sounds that are the hammer of Thor! Thank you John and all for the BEST!!!!!!!

    Remembering the 1987 video which attended the release of ‘CherryBomb’. Attractive young black man and beautiful white girl. Sexy dance. Took cohones to do that, John. My wife and I are of the same color persuasion and we have been married 52 years now. We listen to it and asked that it be played and shown after our passing. Mellencamp, thank you for demonstrating American hope and courage and leaving your life and work as a testament to that. People, see the vision. The American idea can endure. See all of us as one and judge individually. “Outside the club, Cherry Bomb, our hearts were really thumping. Say, yeah, yeah yeah. “
