Hi -- This is the first time I've ever posted anything or communicated on the mellencamp site, so please excuse me if I don't do this appropriately. If I recall, when a TV interviewer asked John within the last year or two, "What is your favorite Mellencamp song?" He replied, "I haven't written it yet." Maybe I'm imagining. But I had an idea. My ex-fiance/on & off again boyfriend wrote several beautiful poems about me/us when we first met in March 2008. We got engaged in '09 for a wedding in '10 that didn't take place. I took him to John's concert in Indy last month. He hasn't written any poems since those first few months in '08 (funny!) but they were quite striking...at least to me. He isn't a songwriter...he's a car dealer. What if John converted his words into a song? That would be incredible. What if it became his favorite? WOW! I asked the boyfriend if it would be okay to submit his words to you and he said "sure." He just said John would have to take us to dinner as a trade off if he uses them. Then he laughed. Even though I've been a published magazine writer, I know nothing about lyrics. Since John is the pro, he might be able to do something with these words or thoughts. Please let me know if you want the poems and how I can submit them. I wouldn't want the whole website to see them, of course. Is there a P.O. Box you would like for me to write? Or I could meet John for coffee and hand deliver them. My email is
[email protected]. I'm on facebook and can be found with Michelle Arthur of Indianapolis. Thanks.
