I am an Italian from the Bronx, NY, almost 60 years old and he is my number 1. My top 3 include Queen, who is genius and Aerosmith, who is amazing, but his music is the one I feel in my soul. No matter if I'm sad, mad or glad, all I need is his music to get me through it. I hear his music every day and I can't imagine my life without it. I've been listening to him since I was 17 years old. I also play it when I'm cleaning or cooking and every day at work. I can't explain it, but his music always puts me in a good mood, ready to face the world! I wish to thank him for writing these amazing songs! Really love you, John!
I have the same feeling , I used to listen to John Cougar's songs in Peru and even though I didn't understand, they brought tears to my eyes. especially Danger list and Jack and Diana, now that I have lived here in Westchester County NY for more than 25 years I understand their songs perfectly and listening to them makes me happy and rejuvenates my existence thanks to the ingenuity of John Cougar. My friend many successes and good health there in the Bronx NY.
Those 80's Mellencamp albums are timeless classics. Sounds great decades later. A great songwriter who had a fantastic band of musicians to bang out the hits.
Takes me back to high school days... saw him in concert in Portland, Oregon, Scandal/Patty Smyth opened, I was front row center, John jumped off the stage and hugged me and I just stood there frozen in shock... oh, if it were today, we'd be dancing! Love this song, love this album.
Whenever someone asks me "if you had to pick one album to take with you on a deserted island for the rest of your life... what album would that be?" without even thinking about it I say "John Cougar American Fool"
From what Mellencamp said at the time that the record company almost didn't release this album and thought about dropping him in 1982. He said they thought it was trash. He talk them into going ahead and releasing it. If it wasn't released we never would have heard of John Mellencamp. The one the best albums of the 80's.
My understanding was that he presented Polygram records with an album shortly before this and they told him to go back and write more songs . He came back with Hurts So Good, Jack And Diane, and the rest of the American Fool album😀
Yes you go , I really enjoy his music takes me way back especially his old music. Would like too see him in concert again. Got to get a good seat bc he is short and if yr way back from him u can't see him. 🙂
I like many of the 70s and 80s like Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, hairbands of all kinds, Springsteen, but Mellencamp is my favorite. Not too many people I know know this song just because it never seemed to be a big hit. Nonetheless, a great song. Its one of my favorites, but then again I have many, and whats amazing, is some of the songs I like best are the songs no one knows of.
it takes me back as well, this song played daily in my car while i cursed the streets of So. Cali, the parties were awesome. the beach. the mountains. yep good times.
grande John Mellencamp !!!! Ho visto molti concerti nella mia vita ma mi manca il grande Cougar !!!! Peccato che non sei mai venuto in Italia (per suonare)
jhon is the quintessential American rocker one of the greatest rock propio.particularmente style is one of my favorites: danger list would find again some live video of this song to see who are encouraged to upload
HES A ROCKER , ALWAYS WAS , BUT I HAD TICKETS TO SEE HIM ABOUT 6 TIMES , NEVER MADE IT ONCE , THAT I REMEMBE R? , BUT WE HAD A BLAST , NOW THAT BLAST IS , A BLAST FROM , THE PAST !!!1
Hi rockcougar69... well done!! We should try and do something to convince John to cross the ocean and make a "once in a living" concert in Europe. Any ideas???? C'mon!!
Lyrics are too slowly displayed to be sung perfectly timed. Bummer, but it’s way better than nothing. I love this song. Fucking beautiful. ❤️ gets me in the gut.
Quello, che non sopporto sono quelle persone che non anno mai sentito, e ne conosciuto, un artista, che dagli anni 70 ad oggi, con una carriera di una vita, sentono una canzone,e la giudicano per quello che è senza saperne,il significato. JOHN COUGAR -MELLENCAMP, questo non lo sopporterebbe. A me piace da morire. sin da quando ero ragazzetto, avevo già i suoi primi album. non scrivo più perche mi ci vuole tutto lo spazio, della bacheca.
wild parties fun we played this album.over and over.Indiana raised. takes me back when thing we're easy.we love cougar that's how we do it here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oye me has llamado recien ayer; no el dia de mi cumpleaños sanazooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

He sings from the heart, he tells great stories with his songs. I've always thought he was amazing 🎸
Thanks

He spoke from the heart in 82 and still speaks from there now.
i lived in indiana back in the 80's... john "couger" is in my blood man!!!
Miss you my brother... every time I hear this song reminds me of the good times we had...rip.xx
Thank you. This song has been running through my mind the better part of 2 weeks now. John was always my favorite artist wile I grew up in the 1980's.
Love it , soundtrack to my life.... long live the 80s.
His music will be good forever!!!
I Loved That Album its verry cool
Written about the lifestyle I lived on my 73 sportster living out Easy Rider 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠
Takes me back to high school days... saw him in concert in Portland, Oregon, Scandal/Patty Smyth opened, I was front row center, John jumped off the stage and hugged me and I just stood there frozen in shock... oh, if it were today, we'd be dancing! Love this song, love this album.
Hello Susan how are you doing!!
Takes me back to a better time,love it
My dad was a Cougar fan and so am I.
Whenever someone asks me "if you had to pick one album to take with you on a deserted island for the rest of your life... what album would that be?" without even thinking about it I say "John Cougar American Fool"
Poet Laureate of the Blackmud Creek told my wife the same. Toss up between American Fool and Hotel California. Think this LP wins.
I agree 💯

And up against talent like Michael Jackson,Madonna,Springsteen etc so he’s in great company
Love John cougar?!!! Best song ever
