For the vast Hoosier diaspora, spread far and wide across the USA, John Mellencamp is a musical link to home. Much of what he sings reflects a definite Hoosier attitude toward life, politics, etc...
And I see John has just released his new CD, Freedom's Road. With the exception of the song on the Chevy commercials, I haven't heard this new album yet. Lots of places will have it on sale this week, so now is the time.
One place you will no doubt hear Mellencamp's flag-wavin' Chevy truck song is this weekend's Super Bowl. And as I was perusing the online edition of the Indianapolis Star at lunch today, I came across an article entitled "Churches React to NFL's Super Bowl Warning." Read it and let me know what you think. I'm still shaking my head at it.
