About
Seymour, Indiana. John J. Mellencamp. The Cougar (the early-career stage name he was forced into and immediately resented). 'American Fool' (1982), 'Scarecrow' (1985), 'Lonesome Jubilee.' 'Jack & Diane,' 'Pink Houses,' 'Small Town,' 'Hurts So Good' — heartland rock with a chip on its shoulder and a porch swing on the cover, plus the kind of farm-town politics that turned into Farm Aid (which he co-founded with Willie and Neil in 1985 and which is still going). One of the most American songwriters of his cohort.
