John Mellencamp storms off stage after promoting Biden.
The audience didn't want to hear his political opinions.
Maybe Cougar left to suck on a chili dog.

Interesting how entertainers keep making the same mistakes as the Dixie Chicks.
But, yeah, get on stage and alienate half your fans, who just came to the show to forget politics for a while.
That'll work.

Thought he died last year?

And like the Dixie Chicks moment, some of the uninitiated will cry freedom of speech. Well, Mellencamp is free to express his viewpoints but the fans are free to use their feet, their volume dial and their $$$ how they see fit.

I had this same experience at a Jackson Browne show in Ohio. He just wouldn't shut up about politics. Song. Lecture. Song. Lecture. Song. Lecture. And the biggest insult of all is that I paid money to hear it.

Love the Arron Lewis line:
Am I the only one who quit singin' along
Every time they play a Springsteen song

Can’t. Stand. Springsteen.

Ditto. I listen to classic rock stations most of the time when I'm driving, and quickly switch to another whenever Springsteen or Mellencamp comes on. Or Madonna.

I like what Frank Zappa entitled an instrumental album. "Shut up and Play Your Guitar."

I find it interesting that an audience that liked Melonhead objected to the pro-Biteme monologue.

It may be because of his involvement in Farm Aid. Plus many of his songs would lead you to believe that he’s a “good old boy”, salt of the earth.

We couldn't play that song on the radio.

Nah. Just 'Shutup and sing'... It's a staple of Country folks all over. Farm-Aid included. Nobody's there for the preaching.
