Tributes to David Letterman, Part 13 of 31: John Mellencamp 1985, 2015

To commemorate the 5th anniversary of Dave retiring from late night television (his last show was on May 20, 2015), I've put together a series of "first and last" appearances, the latter paying tributes in their own ways to the last giant of late night (h/t Jason Zinoman).

    @politicaloutsider413 So far 5 other people agree. What musical artist do you pick for soundtrack for America?

    @politicaloutsider413 Haha, Bruce has a few good songs. Glory days is good. He doesn't have close to as many great American classics as John Couger Mellencamp! Nice try though.

    How pathetic that he can't go without a freaking cigarette long enough to appear on Letterman. Thats so weak and sad.
