Go John go! Let them have it. These people and others like them always find a way to take advantage to benefit themselves at a cost to others. Some one has to take a stand and John you always have done so in the past and it has made a difference. Don't let anyone tell you different.
Glad your back.

Or you're gonna fall for anything"

Best words to live by.
 

Thank you so much Walktall for this download. It was only a few hours from my home. I don't have any pictures just memories, thank so much for posting this. I could just hug you. 

That is a great article geegee.

"Jack and Diane" song has so many meanings to each and everyone of us. Our teenage memories are brought out every time we hear that song. We loved that song.

It has brought meaning for John as well by this article, whether it's the same feelings or meaning or not, it's special for him too.  

I still believe those people should have gotten more from John then that statement but it is what it is. At least John knows how much that song as well as other great songs that he wrote means to us.
John, always keep writing songs, it's good for all our souls and even yours.
Your the best.  

I Love those two songs and I loved that video! Very Hot! Thanks Sharon for posting this.
 

My personal opinion is that John has a lot on his plate. Since last year he has finalized his divorce to his wife, he has been on a four leg tour  last year and then a tour in Canada this year. His sweet mother had just passed away in January of this year, His son Hud has started his first year of college and believe me the first year is tuff, traveling to see him sending him things he will need.  My son is on his second year so I can say this. His been on a roller coaster ride with the Ghost Brothers project in Atlanta and now fighting to keep it going in NYC. Not to mentioned receiving well deserved awards and performing there too. He also has done charity events and helping fight for our farmers with Farm Aid. He also had an art exhibit in Tennessee this year too. Then some how try to spend time with his family, wow I am tired just thinking about it.
He is probably tired, I think there other projects we don't even know about yet. I think John is being detoured away from what he loves to do, which is writing songs and painting. I hope he just decides to stop letting unimportant things prevent him from his destiny which is writing and painting about the "human condition" I personally can't wait for the next album and I hope it's rock album like he said. I also wish the best of luck to Hud on his first year.

love ya John  

Love that song, He did do a fantastic job!

I found some of those reviews that were posted on this forum. Yes some were not that great, but I think the NYTimes one would be a concern since they are trying to get played in NYC.
I personally am not a fan of Steven King, the only book turned to a movie I liked was Secret Window with Johnny Depp. I think his stories are Demonic and the story starts off good and pulls you in and then the endings sucks.

I was however, surprised they were trying to get it in NYC since John was against it.

I just love that version of JailHouse Rock, John sounds soo sexy.
That was my favorite Letterman interview of John. I wish they posted the rest or I never found it.
Thanks so much for posting these. Have fun watching the game. 

Thank you so much Walktall! You are totally awesome! I got the day off tomorrow and plan in painting and listening to these great tunes.

You are the best!
 

OMG! That's totally cool. Wish I lived near there to go. I wonder if John went to check it out.

Happy Birthday John!
 

[Happy Birthday John!]

Happy Birthday John!

Birthday wishes from a long time fan.
Your totally Awesome!

But didn't John give the politicians a "talking too" about using his songs for their campaign and they didn't do it?

That is the first clip I have ever seen her talk. She is very beautiful and seems genuinely sweet.
That's a shame about them.
I wonder what her secret is to looking so young besides Almay?Lol

Damm sexy!
Thanks for making my day! Walktall your the best.
 

John should do something more. He always made a stand for anything that is unfair and his song or title that so many people can relate to has been subjected to Hollywood BS. They think they can do no wrong and get away with it.
