John Mellencamp Community

Does it look like John has a black eye at his Charlie Rose interview?  Sure does to me.  Maybe Meg socked it to him!!  Anybody know the facts?

John remarked last night that his eye is what you get when you roughhouse with 18 year old sons.

and i dont believe that about the sons. and tonyb you can answer this question, why is it you cant answer my 2 posts. like i said im probably not the only one who wants to know or did john tell you "hush?

John mentioned on Charlie Rose last night that he and Meg are still together, and he referred to her as his "girlfriend" on Bob and Tom this morning. Also, John just released a great new musical, most people care about that, not his dating life. Your Meg obsession is disturbing. Give it a rest already.

thanks walktall, at least you took an interest in answering my questions. and it looks like im not the only one who took an interest of wether meg socked it to john or not. the first poster to this thread did. so i wouldnt be calling me obsessed. all i was doing was basically going by what i have been seeing pictures and comments made by others on the internet. the only way to find some kind of an answer was to come here. im not the only one who disagrees with jm's relationship with meg and how it came about, theres been other posters and you and others know that too. and no i still dont believe it will last with them either.and as far as GB goes, i dont believe its gona go anywhere but splat into nothing.

If you think Meg punched John, you're an idiot. You need immediate medical attention.

tell me walktall, where did i say in this thread that i think john got the black eye directly from meg? find the sentence where i said that and get back to me. and read my question here very carefully so you dont trip over your mouth and leave track marks on your face. and remember one thing, john only says only what he wants to say about anything.

lmao at least the writer got half the story right, funeralistic is true. john looks like hes been in a continous funeral since hooking up with meg who always dresses like she crawled out of a crypt. and wether they are still together, secretly engaged or married, yeah yeah yeah i know i heard comments before "oh they found love again" rite, how many times was that said with each person either one of these been involved with in the past.
and IF you posted this as an answer to my last post tell me walktall what does this have to do with my question that i posted? let me repeat since you called me an idiot and i needed immediate medical attention. go back over the threads where i posted and find where i said i think that john got the black eye DIRECTLY from meg? this is a DIRECT question that deserves a DIRECT answer.
and another thing, whats gona happen if anything happens to john? yeah better start saving your money. all that will be left is his songs. ever think about that?

I hesitate to post in this thread as it seems to be more about John's private life and not his professional one, but this thread does mention the Charlie Rose show so here is my review...

I loved the interview and wish it could have went the full hour.  It was great to hear John talk about the cabin he purchased and how this story came about...then hearing how John and Steven first got together, and of course how T. Bone was brought in.  You can tell all of them have a lot of respect for one another and while it took a long time to come to fruition, I believe they all enjoyed working on the project.

and how is it you know 'how it came about'?  if you have that knowledge, then i don't see the reason you're on here blowing up the boards about JM and/or Meg, together or separate. 

definition of insanity is trying to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. and what was it john said to howard stern in that interview he wasnt going to get a divorce again. and howard said yeah you will, and howard saw right thru johns bull shit. john has a repetitive history. so there you go.

so now the truth finally comes about  johns black eye. GOOD FOR HIS SON!!!!! and johns dad says john needs to change his attitude. RICHARD MELLENCAMP YOU ROCK!!!!! looks to me like grandad stuck up for grandson.
so john wheres that apology about your beliefs in the universe and people are ignorant. i dont care about the universe crap. but you owe one big damn apology for saying your believing people are ignorant.

like i said in another post john only says what john wants to say about anything.

piece of advice john TAKE THE COTTONBALLS OUT OF YOUR EARS AND PUT THEM IN YOUR MOUTH and for once listen to your dad.
but hey maybe you still havent gotten beaten up enuf huh? oh well john its this way and its that way then theres the wall go beat your head on it.
john you aint the tough guy you try to portray yourself to be. its just an image that you keep in your own head and then try to act it out. it aint working john-boy. yep what goes around comes around lmao, i think this is fantastic you got punched out by one of your sons for whatever reason it had to be a good one for them to do it and you very well deserved it. so happy fathers day john lmao

It's a shame when there is family feud, God knows we have had our share, we have two sons too, the same age in fact. Just a little advise, Listen to them. Especially your dad. When you have taken the wrong path you don't see it, but others do, especially your family, they are the ones getting hurt by what you are doing. Fix it while you still can. Some day you will do the same for them.
Good luck
 :)

 John sure got some CRAZEEEEEEE ''fans'', with fans like these who needs enemies.

have you read the articles that are from trusted resources on the internet bout john finally admitting the truth? his dad giving him advice to change his attitude? and i fully i agree with his dad richard. thats crazy? his dad crazy? do you remember john talking about how when he was younger he hit his dad too? thats crazy? what goes around comes around thats crazy? whatever it was that john may of said or done had to of been pretty damn good for whichever son was the one to haul off and knock the crap out of john, otherwise i dont believe whichever son was would of done it. it must of been that bad coming from john. john is his own enemie. he dont need no one elses help, he does a good job on his own by himself.
oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i forgot, any of us who talk like john oh its not ok. but its ok for john becuz hes john mellencamp. fans who think like that are crazy cuz they dont say nothing but put up with his attitude. hes an anger addict. so theres 2 of us who post about john and we're crazy. and i will tell you kicker trust me there are more of johns fans who feel the same way but dont say nothing and i aint puttin them down. but at least they are there.

Edited this post because it's*just*not*worth*it.......

its like a rash, scrathing it only makes it worse....but it's soooooooo tempting....

whatever john did to help his son in hauling off and hitting him must of been worth it. johns own dad giving john advice about changing his attitude was worth it. john finally telling the truth about the black eye was worth it. however his inhumane remark on one of the interviews that his belief is he believes that people are ignorant is not worth it. and that was said on a national interview show. and john still needs to apologize for that one. face it, if it wasnt for fans john would not absolutely be where he is at and the people who work for him would not have a paycheck. john is a pompous ass.

no kidding!  i guess some people have nothing better to do.  i personally wouldn't spend my time reading and posting on a board (a fan club board no less), of someone i felt that way towards.  but hey, that's just me.

well mellenheadohio you just did.

and this is to jm - heres to you for fathers day: 1, 2, PUNCH!!!!!
and richard mellencamp if your reading this thank you for you words of advice to jm. hopefully he will listen? and to you richard mellencamp i hope you have a very good fathers day

Good one Kicker! <(^_^)> 'So-called' fans trying to dissect John's personal life as if they even have the first clue as to the facts? Some fans...probably also hold a lifetime subscription to National Enquirer!!! LMAO!!!!

really wolfy? dissecting?  all of the stuff that i posted john said that stuff about himself. or better yet tonyb, can you confirm what john said how the black eye came about by one of his sons, whose name wasnt mentioned,  and can you confirm what johns dad told john in the aftermath? and also when john was a young man he too hit his dad at one time and john did say he did that and it was a bad idea.
ok wolfy, that should be good enuf for you. so now you can sit and wait and see if tonyb answers.

Away from the lights of a stage and TV, when it clearly is story time and time to be entertaining with answers - true or not, John told friends that the eye happened when roughhousing with his son. Not a fight, or a punch out.

John, and the Mellencamp's in general, are a physical bunch. They like horseplay. They rough house with each other, they test each others strength, they have a lot of fun doing this and have done it for decades/generations.

As to what John's Dad said to him about it, I don't put much faith in the accuracy of John's quoting his Dad during an off the cuff comment to Letterman about it. He was trying very hard to be funny and entertaining, John's never a devoting to getting all of the facts 100%  mess up a good story.

Now how about we mix in some actual discussion about fans likes and dislikes about the Ghost Brothers project itself? We have one member of this forum talking all of the air out of the room by constantly replying about one topic.

thanks tonyb for answering. however your answer was to vague and  i do believe john got that from one of his boys for some reason that pushed him to the point of wanting to hit his dad. i do believe richard (his dad) told john to change his attitutde. john did admit at one time when he was younger he got himself into some trouble and due to his feelings that john said he was thinking at the time he did haul off and hit his dad. and also too he did state in an interview that he believed in that people were ignorant, and as far as GB interviews they all sound the same dialogue  and as far as promotong this on big host tv shows, these tv hosts such as letterman need big names to stay in business. and as for GB being successful nope and yes john is getting darker and darker.

Excellent friend, Mr. T Bone Burnett said very recently  that John is the "Lightest and Happiest"  he has ever seen him.

Thrilled to see the great media reviews for GB, kudos to all involved.

well all thats been said and done time will tell

Lordy people, as Tony has suggested let's move on.  There's lots out there to discuss - GB tour, possible new album, Farm Aid 2013.

thats right because time will tell all thats gona happen

I just have to say....I'm not so sure I believe the story about getting punched in the eye by one of his sons.....unless it was while they were messing around.  He was too light-hearted about the whole thing.  I don't think we know the whole story. 

Just sayin...

He never did say what actually happened....
