I hate to break it to Indianagirl and any others who think John Mellencamp is going to rock again but he has said that he is done with that stage in his life.  I believe he has gone on rocking to please others longer than he would have liked to.  He is a singer/songwriter now and if you don't like it don't go see him.  I for one am glad that he finally has the courage to be who he wants to be and ignore the wishes of others.
