Jack and Diane (page 91)

In a newspaper interview back in 2008, John Mellencamp commented on the fact that in many pop circles, depending on when you came of age, this song is his most familiar, almost three decades after releasing it: “It gets played more today in the United States than it did when it came out,” he said. “As much as I am a little weary of those two, I don’t know any other two people in rock and roll that are more popular than Jack and Diane. Some people probably think there’s a place in hell for me because of those two people! But it gave me the keys to do what I want. I’ve lived the way I wanted to live, sometimes recklessly and stupidly, but still been able to do that. I’ve been able to live on my whims, that’s what Jack and Diane gave me, so I can’t hate them too much.” A lesson for all you budding songwriters . . . write about characters in the heartland “suckin’ on chili dogs” at the “Tastee Freeze” and you, too, might be able to go your own way.
