Title: Change.org Jack and Diane Petition
Post by: ro345 on August 18, 2017, 05:59:22 pm
Hi Folks,

Mr Mellencamp has always been a vocal anti-racism advocate.  Jack and Diane was originally written about an inter-racial couple, but it was deemed too controversial.  I have created a change.org petition to ask Mr Mellencamp to rewrite the song as he originally intended.

If you don't like the petition, then move along.  I'm not interested in engaging in a debate about racism.

If you like the petition, then it could be great if signed it and forwarded on social media.  Thanks.
