Music was so important to the culture when I was growing up in the Sixties and Seventies. We just expected that Bob Dylan was going to make a great record, and it was normal.

This cycle of make a record, tour has been going on for 20 years now. I don't even know why I do it sometimes. Do I need more money? Do I need more platinum and gold records? The only thing I can think of is ego. John Mellencamp cycleegogold share on social
I want my paintings to look like they were found in a garage. If they get a scratch or a hole in them, it just becomes part of the painting. John Mellencamp findgaragehole Change image and share on social
