I can’t say that I own any John Mellencamp records, but I came across Salon.com’s interview with him. This made me laugh:
What’s your take on George Bush?
Well, what I think of George Bush doesn’t really matter, does it?
I think people would be interested to know.
I’m a songwriter. I kind of like the way he struts around sometimes. [Laughs.] Let’s leave it at that.
The whole interview is worth reading.
