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.

I understand John's frustration as Jack and Diane clearly has name recognition for 10's of millions of people, but other than being frustrated I don't think there is much legal recourse here.
I don't believe you can copywright song titles, album titles etc. Case in point when Garth Brooks (or his alias) released a album called Scarecrow.
That being said, Jack and Diane is just a classsic, classic song. I swear everytime I hear it I get as much or more enjoyment from it as I did the first few times I heard it.

How was the sound live for the different bands? I know in some of those big stadiums the sound system and acoustics are not so great. I heard a good part of John's set on Sirius and thought they sounded great on there. Still amazed by the way the reworked Walk Tall sounds and each time I hear the new version I think it sounds better.

I often think about how I would love for John to put out another rockin album like Uh Huh and Whenever We Wanted. It's funny because when I go to one of his shows in my mind i want him to rock out the whole show and then he ends up doing some acoustic stuff which blows me away, and then i think I am so glad he performed that song accoustically. I guess the only way to please us all is for him to play the songs both acoustic and rocking versions in the same show.
The past couple of albums have been great so I am cool if John does another in that style or if he wants to put out a rockin album I am game for that as well.
