John Mellencamp

And they would have dances at college and bands playing.

And I would sit there in the audience and go, I can do this better than that.

I know I can.

And so as soon as I got out of college, I got into a band called the Mason Brothers, which I have so many funny stories.

Like I said, I'm so lucky.

I got into a band called the Mason Brothers and we played every weekend and I was a barroom singer.

I never wrote any songs or anything like that.

Wanna hear a funny story about the Mason Brothers, how the Mason Brothers ended?

This is good.

The guy that ran the band, I was just a singer, and the guy that ran the band was a guy named Dave.

And Dave talked to the booker

And we had a gig on a riverboat up and down the Ohio River.

And it was a fraternity show.

And we had an old Plymouth and a U-Haul on the back.

And we get there and the guys in the fraternity show are so fucking mad at us.

Dave failed to realize that there was a time change between Seymour and Cincinnati, which is on the Ohio River.

So all these fraternity guys are going, where the hell have you guys been?

You're an hour late.

So it really pissed me off.

I go, Dave, goddammit, if you're going to run the band, you've got to keep track of this shit.
