I have to say...I was looking foward to this concert all summer.  I was so disappointed.  We didn't hear "hurt so good" or Jack and Diane".  When you have waited most of your adult years to finally hear John, its a bit disappointing.  I love John's music, to be sure, but I just didn't expect to pay so much for a ticket and not hear his best.  I was just so bummed.  My husband and I have a bet: "If you could have anyone play for a backyard barbeque, who would it be?  I have always said John Cougar Mellancamp."  I do love his music, even all the stuff he played tonight.  He just didn't play his best.  BTW, he apparently said he couldn't sing his old stuff, but I think he sounded just as good as he aslways has...if you ever want to play in my backyard, let me know.  I would love to have you.

Your fan always, Jenn
