    I am a lifelong fan of JM, and LOVE how he dances and told him so when I met him at a CD signing in Manhattan. I have seen him in concert more times than I can count. He's an amazing songwriter, singer, performer and true to his beliefs. Never turned "Hollywood" either, still lives in Indiana. He's my Cherry "BOMB" as well as a Bad Boy type.......

    The induction of John Mellencamp into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame is a very much deserved award. JM is an icon of the true roots of rock and roll...there is no entertainer that has not done more either for the plight of the American farming industry. Thank you for posting.

    One of my favorite songs of all time! John says it best with"They think they're so cute when they got you on their conditions" ! Not to mention a great song to dance to, crank up in the car, or just plain rock out to!

    • @rsu8689
      @rsu8689 4 года назад +1

      "They think they're so cute ...", especially when they have the "will of God" on their side.
      "All religious notions are founded solely on authority; all the religions of the world forbid examination and do not want one to reason; authority wants one to believe in God; this God is himself founded only on the authority of a few men who pretend to know him, and to come in his name and announce him on earth. A God made by man undoubtedly has need of man to make himself known to man."
      - Percy Bysshe Shelley

      @@rsu8689 Truly deep. The question is: what in us creates this God? What inside us requires stories to be written? What draws our hand to the pen? Is it fear? And what is fear except the anticipation of the future, or ripples of our past? Fear can not exist it the perpetual present, can it? A clear observation, not living in the past, nor thinking to the future is the only one capable of grasping at the eternal. Only a quiet mind is capable of listening for the voice of God. We can not see through crashing waves. Only through the calm still water is the truth clear and unobstructed by the focus on our own petty thoughts, likes, and dislikes. Thoughts, the result of our knowledge, past experiences, and cultural conditioning, are severely limited. By using limited tools, how are to approach the limitless?
