Congrats John. Keep kicking asses. I love your attitude and your guts. In the music business, you're as real as they come. Uh-Huh & Whenever We Wanted are classics plus I've had hours of joy listening to bootlegs. I finally got the chance to see you live in 2005 & loved every minute. Stay cool John. P.S. Your wife is beautiful. You got lucky yet again.
I first took notice of John's music in 1985 when I was 9 years old. His voice and words inspire me. Mellencamp's truly one of the greatest performers I've ever seen. He's an icon and a legend.
well done john. you have deserved this for years.i will always remember when i met you at camden town in london on sep 11th 1996. you and elaine were very kind.thanks.
I was born with Spina Bifida too! Didn't even know John had it which is Great! I'm glad John has brought this subject to light! Makes me feel that we who have it are not alone! Thanks John and keep making Good Rock & Roll!!
@John Mellencamp raining and windy here in Indiana right now plus all the gold leaves are flying from the trees. Oh no I feel a song coming on lol Hope you're doing well.
@John Mellencamp I have been thank you for being such a good artist in more ways than one. Wish we could have met I would show you all the different poems and writings that I did for many years in my life. I think we probably are about the same age and I'm still moving and grooving too. Take care stay safe 🙏💕🦋
This man always puts on a powerful show,a true legend,crushing on him since in my 20s,now 60,stll admire,respect this truly unique artist,songwriter,lyrics are from heart and his life.loves and respects all family members,beleives in the american working class,humanitarian,on and on we can go but ya get what im saying,right?
remember when John and the band came to Holland on the "whenever we wanted -tour" He filled big places( 20.000 +) in America, and here he played in The Hague city for maybe 1500? (sold out) people, and he rocked the house. We (in Holland)also can relate to the songs John writes. I always thought Mellencamp is a dutch name(how proud i was..) but maybe it's German,doesn't matter= we LOVE John's music!
As a person born with spina bifida, I can attest to how much guts it takes to talk openly about the defect, especially in such a public setting. I never knew John was born with SB but I truly admire him for using this forum to tell people about it. It's not easy to talk about, especially not in a forum like that. Thanks, John.
@cp31987darlingnikki GnR Doesn't Hold a Candle to Mellencamp, Petty, Seger, Joel, Eagles, ACDC and Springsteen. Journey I Might can see your Frustration. But GnR? LOL
One of the most deserving artists to ever be inducted...long overdue.

I have klinefelters syndrome, try living with that.
So proud to be a fan.
This guy is an amazing man.
WOW now that's a talented Surgeon especially back then!!
Don't forget the Replacements put themselves behind that 8ball a shit ton too John, Westerber is one hell of a song smith, you know.
it's a shame that he did not mention his old lead guitarist Larry Crane That helped him make some of them songs.
only rockers can perform live at any moment...Madonna couldnt, didtn have backup tape, sound, etc..shes just an entertainer like Spears.
Guy’s a ===> but one hell of a songwriter and singer.
480p? What kinda budget do they have?
that was in response to BluegrassGlen
I really did think Billy Joel was italian
Um... he said HE put himself behind the 8-ball more than anyone....
So did the Replacements.
TC%TC: TWiN CiTiES TRUTH CHANNEL says THANKS 🙏 John and Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎶 📖 NOW...The HaLL of Faith 🎯
