It's a lot better than John Mellencamp writing songs.
I have said for years, I'm not for anybody anymore.
If you're coming to my show, and this is when I started playing theaters, if you're coming to my show to hear all these hits, you're not going to.
But that's why, after 20 years, I'm gonna go back out and I'm gonna play nothing but hits for two and a half hours.
That's how many hit records I've had.
Yeah, and now I'm looking forward to it.
Because I have not played I Need a Lover in 25 years on stage.
Yeah, it's a brand new song.
I'm going to be playing it in a way that nobody's ever imagined.
Wait till if you come.
Wait till you hear Jack and Diane.
I have jammed it up and it's a soul song now.
There's a term for it, smash.
Anyway, we turned it into a soul song.
I mean, what would it be like if Jack and Diane was a soul song?
