Mellencamp vs. Springsteen
Mar 4, 2010 by Nick
Let me start out by saying I am not trying to say that John Mellencamp is better than Bruce Springsteen I am not looking to sway your opinion on either one of these artists. I am sure there are some of you that will read this story and think that you could care less about either one of these guys. I am OK with that. If you think reading about these two aging rock stars is not worth your time you can always head back to Facebook and read about how someone’s kid scored 6 touchdowns in little league football or how the weather sucks or some other riveting status update.
I will preface what I am about to write with the fact I am a huge John Mellencamp fan. He was the first concert I ever attended in 1983 and I have lived in Indiana virtually my entire life where liking if not loving Mellencamp is almost as synonymous with the state as not being able to buy beer on Sundays. With that being said I am also a huge Bruce Springsteen fan and he was the second concert I ever attended in 1984 on the “Born In The USA” tour. I love both artists and have enjoyed nearly everything they have released but I have a problem with the way these two artists seemed to be viewed by fans, the music industry, and the critics.
