Last night, I realized Pop Singer was not on my ipod.  I added it.  Been listening to it all day.  It's a good day, man.

I was watching one of John's new songs on youtube and somebody posted how they didn't like his new shows and wants to hear the old sound.  Then, someone posted a comment that really sums up my opinion of John's musical interests........"For those of you in search of Johnny Cougar, he never existed." 

Yea, but I think the average show attendee wants to hear the Mellencamp of their youth.  They want to be reminded of a time long ago and reminisce.

Will there be any ghost brothers songs pre-released to itunes?

No, it doesn't look like that will happen.

Do you think the cd's will be on sale at the Ghostbrother shows at the Alliance Theater?  I am going April 4.

It's just too bad radio isn't what it used to be. I agree Walk Tall would have been a bigger hit in 1989. I too really like that song.

Wow. I have been to 24 shows and last night was way up there in rank. JM blended the old with the new and the obscure with energy, interaction and strength. The crowd was into it better than I have seen in a long time. JM is better than ever. Thanks, again Mr. Mellencamp. It has been  a great pleasure being your fan.

PS I am listening to "Circling Round the Moon" again for the 1st time in a while.

Hope everyone isn't on vacation, they might miss some cool stuff that will be announced in the next two weeks!

What's the word, Tony?

I got my tickets. I look forward to the show on April 4

Does JM always pick a blonde girl/woman/lady?

I realize I am not Mr. Super Poster here.  But, I love how somebody's 1st post is to come on here to gripe about a show.  The show was well done and well played by JM.  In the day of internet and people posting a set list, you can find out what he is playing BEFORE you go to the show.  Personally, I would have picked a substantially diffrent set list.  But, JM has never asked me my opinion about his playlist.  And, I was able to appreciate his new music a little more than I did.  I actually like West End now.  So that is a start.

While I am posting, I owe JM an apology.  The movie was well done, too.  I came on here and predicted a politcally devisive piece.  I was wrong and I am sorry.

I agree with MNorris.  I hate posting and getting a verbal lashing. I did not read every word in this thread. Upon scanning it, though, I did not see anything distasteful.  John got a divorce. People are talking about it.  What is the big deal?  I would like to hear something from Elaine's side.  Is that wrong?  It's really just curiosity.  In good taste, curiosity is fine.  I think most of us are too old to be ditasteful. 

That is pretty neat

3 hours after presale - checking ticket availability - great seats still available!  2nd Row Pit (premium) Row H available (non-premium)

As usual, this is an art, not a science.  I was on ASAP to get tickets and got 3rd row.

I just had to purchase those front row tickets, Tony!
row AA, SEATS 5,6

I will be close to you.

Diane, I am going to Colombia also.  It has been a while.  I hope you are doing well.
