“It's my responsibility as a singer-songwriter to report the news.” — John Mellencamp Quote

“It's my responsibility as a singer-songwriter to report the news.”

“I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?”

“I need a long and lingering death to make sure that I have time to have a deathbed conversion.”

“I read the Drudge Report! And wander around Facebook sometimes!”

“I can't think of a time that the U.S. government asked us or instructed us not to report or air something.”

“Southerners have this love of embellishment. Even when you read a police report, there's some backstory.”
