- “The American Dream” (from Chestnut Street Incident, 1976) Then known as “Johnny Cougar,” John Mellencamp’s debut album is full of unlikely 60s cover songs and slick, glitter-styled production.
- “Ain’t Even Done With the Night” (from Nothin’ Matters and What If It Did, 1981) Donning the more serious “John Cougar” name, John Mellencamp set his sights on chart success: This tune was part of a string of singles (including “Hurt So Good” and the Pat Benatar-covered “I Need a Lover”) that established him as a radio presence.
- “Jack & Diane” (from American Fool, 1982) An 80s anthem and a No. 1 hit, “Jack & Diane” puts some ambiguity in John Mellencamp’s storytelling: We don’t know where Jack and Diane will end up, this is just a snapshot that feels gritty and real.
- “Pink Houses” (from Uh-Huh, 1983) Enter “John Cougar Mellencamp,” and the most emblematic song of his career (if not quite the biggest hit). The chorus of “ain’t that America” has been adopted by politicians on both sides of the spectrum, but like “Born in the USA,” this is an easy song to misinterpret.
Like his music, Mellencamp’s paintings are carefully composed through the structural requirements of harmony, rhythm and order, and is thematically in line with the small-town, earnest voice of the heartland. Mellencamp art collection include Chaim Soutine, Max Beckmann, Jack Levine, Walt Kuhn, among others.
John Mellencamp. ROCK · 2004. Preview. While he reached fame in the 1980s with a string of hits and emphatic concerts that established him as a fellow compatriot and pop-friendly version of Bruce Springsteen, Mellencamp still fought the stereotype (“Pop Singer”).
