That was freaking awesome. You know my tastes well, it seems!
I enjoy that scrub-board signature sound of Mellencamp's music. It puts me in mind of swamp water backroads, dogs under porches in dusty dooryards, and blue jeaned sweethearts walking down deserted train tracks. His music makes you want to take up smoking, scratch a match on your workboot, light up a Camel and watch cars go by. That's Mellencamp.
