The Couger

Just heard an interview with John Mellencamp on NPR about his career and new album Hear "No Better Than This".

I wouldn't call myself a "fan" but I have to admit that almost every time he comes across the airwaves I start tapping my toes. At one point in the interview, he was asked how he felt about John McCain using one of his songs during the campaign since Mellencamp is a "life-long democrat". Mellencamp corrected the interviewer and said, "I don't know about a life-long Democrat. I'm a liberal - very liberal." And I respect that. Don't agree - but respect.

For the next couple of weeks, you can listen to his entire new album for free at NPR:
