I have loved this guys music ever since I was 14. The lack of ego and acting like he’s all that is refreshing. He seems really down to earth and a talented and nice person

👣Amazing interview with John he's always been a singer with talents beyond his own time but I love his song's. I know that it's hard to explain how the music industry can screw you up. I agree with John!!

Seems like being an individual and speaking your mind can cause people to say you have a bad attitude. People hate it when you tell them the truth.

people hate it when you already start with a attitude problem

People may not like a bad attitude for no apparent reason and they may not like people that weigh in on subjects that are subjective as if they were objective topics. Truth can only be found in objective topics.

He still hasn't figured out how to treat people.

People may have been thrown off by his approach, but I think his candor and honesty is refreshing. He's being not rude in any way. He's direct, and he makes great songs.

What an absolute doll!! Sweet smart honest and cute! I've loved him since the 80s when I was in Junior high. He is so talented and a deep thinker. This was a treat to see.

Back then everybody worked on their hair a lot ...now nobody cares

Dude was cool as sh#t...thanks for making the 80s even better...( listening to Jack and Diane in the back seat of mom and dads car)

Mr. Happy Go Lucky.

Jack Cafferty on WNBC's "Live At Five" show. Cafferty was excellent during his time there. Didn't care for him as much after he surfaced on CNN years later.

He didn’t want to sell his soul he’s real down to earth person

Say it like it is always.

This is good...

I might own Shady Park for life

Jack Cafferty ?

An artist like John we will never see replicated again. He doesn't get enough credit for also breaking down barriers in racial 80's times full of tension on MTV. The music video for "Cherry Bomb" in my opinion is just as important as "Billie Jean" was to Michael Jackson in 1983.

You’re full of it, Clown. Everyone knows that by the late 1980s, Mellencamp’s music career was nearly over. So what the punk did was make videos of interracial couples. Wow. F that s.

I don't blame mellencamp for being his own man he wasn't bought and paid for by any bastards except himself!

Wrong! It's John Cougar!!

John Cougar's forehead has it's own zip code

❤️🥰😁👏👏👏👏

Vintage Mellencamp? Wow I thought I was buying John Cougar American Fool, Nothing Matters and what if it did the entire time. Cassettes, vinyl. Hell I was ripped off. Jesus

No, no, this is not his 1982 interview, because he does not storm out of the room here. Stop misleading us with that 1982 title webmaster 👎🏻👎🏻

LOOKS like 82... PLUS he WAS STILL being called John Cougar so...He DID say he had been at it for 8 years which? I had NO idea his music career started in 75 if that's the case, here.... But yeah, the OTHER 82 video IS here too on YT...

He reminds me a bit of Charles Manson in a way.

@@jamescon55go find an older interview with a younger Charlie Manson being interviewed by Tom Snyder, you’ll see what I’m saying. The country twang in the voice, the gestures, speaking speed, etc. Manson always comes across kind of angry and bitter, where John is more friendly and approachable, but sometimes he gets a little prickly as well

Last I heard , Johnny lives in Cali 🤣
