We booed that damned mellenkamp off the stage in 3 songs..........![]()
One of the funniest bits I ever heard on radio: The guy was from the same town "John Cougar" grew up in, and was shopping in the local drug store back in the mid '80s right after he got famous.
He overheard this early teen-age girl asking her mom to buy her a poster from one of those flippy-frame poster displays with the rolled up tubes in the stock bins underneath. "Mom, I want this one!!" she said, pointing at some promo poster for him.
Her mom replied, "$5.00 for a picture of little Johnny Mellencamp?!? I think not!! If you want a picture of him, we'll go down the street and get one from his parents!!"
For some reason, that story tickled me and has stuck in my memory ever since.



How's everyone doing this afternoon/evening?
