Very nice interview. Very impressive. 

I don't think there would be another tour unless there is another album.
Which brings up my next question,
Tony, What is John currently working on? Is is the next album or something else?

I agree with Mellenfan that more fanswould see it if it was a tour, like Phantom or Cats or something like that. Personally I think this radio thing is a waste of time. It had it's stage time and if it did good then go on the road with it, if it didn't then it was a great experience of trying something new. I feel they are just trying to keep it going and just going around in circles.
John, you have been side tracked and your fans are anxiously waiting the new album. 

The only song that mentions "Jack and Diane" that I can think of is "Eden is Burning" from the album "John Mellencamp". Hope that what your looking for.

Congrats to Elaine!
Even though I was hoping John and her would get back together, I have been married 27 years so I always feel bad when a long marriage breaks up. I am glad she found happiness again.

I wish her and Jay the best!
 

I guess it wasn't his best day then.

I wonder if this will delay the making of the new rock album.

I remember watching that on tv, what a great New Years Eve show! Thanks Sharon for sharing that. I hope John has a great New Year! I also hope he gets Pat to help record the next album. She is awesome!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I just wanted to wish John, his family and everyone on the forum a Merry Christmas!
Especially John's dad, I know he is going through a tough time this year!

That was a great listen! Love it! Thank you so much Tony and Sharon!

I think people should respect other people's opinion. I hope John is happy and his kids are happy.
I also like the blue jeans ,white Tshirt and black leather jacket too, very sexy. Just my opinion.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Me too! I believe she took good care of John. Big difference now that she is gone. 

I was hoping he was gonna be there too. They kept saying on the radio all the performers that did the 911 concert were gonna be there. Too bad.

Thank you Sharon.
 

I found an audio on YouTube referring to as being "controlled" in the studio. I could not find the video. He said it live the night he received the "Lifetime Achievement Award"
Great listen.
