    A real conversation. No self promotion. No commercial references. No phones out. Just talking about life. Nice. And to think a supposed hard ass like John with no drinking and no drugs for most of his adult life. That’s a comforting thought as far as I’m concerned. Cause too many people waste a good chunk of their lives and act like assholes on that stuff. It’s too bad a guy like Tom Petty another legend got trapped by that shit.

    33 years ago, I was driving from Dallas to Orlando to see my brother. At the halfway mark (about 500 miles), I'm bushed and look for a hotel. I checked in and was about to crash when I decided to take a look around Atlanta. Saw a billboard announcing John Mellencamp that night at the Omni. In a half hour. I headed out there, the scalpers had already made their $, and I got a ticket for five bucks off one of them who was leaving. Got in just in time for his opening song. To my surprise Texas legend Joe Ely's guitar slinger at the time (David Grissom) is now playing lead for Mellencamp. My ticket was for in the upper deck, but like I tend to do, I wanted to weasel down to the floor. Very tight security there. But a guy came up to the mezzanine to get a beer, and he had his and his girlfriend's tickets in his pocket. I said I'd buy his beer if he'd let me borrow his other ticket stub to get down to the floor. He says sure. I'm now on the floor standing about 20 from the band. Heavenly. Played every single one of his hits. Best moment: Mellencamp pulls some guy out of the audience, hands him a guitar, and trusts this nonmusician to play the couple of notes in "Jack & Diane" that go "da da da da da..." The guy aces it and the place goes nuts.
