Today's video - Longest Days by John Mellencamp

I am just now watching John Mellencamp: Plain Spoken on Netflix streaming. He just sang a song that I so love, and I wanted to share it here in my letters. He says in the show that his grandmother is the only woman who ever really loved him. (warning -there is a swear word in his intro)

    1. And thank you for watching it. If you like his work, the Netflix streaming show is very good. You two share a state!

  2. Love it. He has a lot of insight and meaning in the songs he writes.

    1. If you like him, you might enjoy the Netflix show. It is done in a bit of an odd, distracting way. He's singing on stage, but he talks over the singing to tell his life story. I think I would have liked it better if the two things were more separate. Sometimes I wanted to hear the whole song, and have him talk afterwards.

    2. I do like him, but I might find that distracting too!

    3. All in all, Marcie, it was worth it to me. I knew almost nothing about his life. He was very honest.
