John Mellencamp has amassed 22 top-40 hits in 52 years of performing. A steady chart topper for more than 40 years, he’s earned the respect of artists from Bruce Springsteen and Pete Seeger to Carlene Carter.
Signs discreetly taped on the walls of the Masonic Temple Theatre explained that John Molenkamp’s show there on Saturday night, June 17, “respects theater etiquette.” Pretty high-minded for a guy who dropped enough F-bombs to fill a gross (or more) of swear jars.
With one of the most recognizable voices in all of roots rock, John Mellencamp’s music is woven into America’s cultural fabric. His songs have fittingly soundtracked the good times and even the bad ones, too, across more than four decades.
