John Mellencamp

I'm going, are you out of your fucking mind?

Well, you know, the backstory on that on that was the backstory.

The backstory was that was take two.

Well, he, for whatever reason, he decided to do the show backwards.

Oh, wow.

So he started with, you know, how he ended and was going to work his way forward.

And I don't know why he did that, but apparently people that knew him told me that he would always do shit like that.

So did you play the comedy store a lot?

And how did you go down?

Yeah, I was friends with Letterman, because he's from Indianapolis.

And his mom used to come down to my house in Bloomington, and his mom and his stepdad would come down and have dinner with me at my house.

And so Letterman, I did a couple things on Letterman where I cooked a cake with his mom.

and brought the cake to David for his birthday.

I like Letterman.

He's always been nice to me, and his mom told me a story.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I had just released my first album, and David was still doing The Weather.

locally in Indianapolis oh wow and he said to his mom if that kid can go out and do it I can too oh wow that's what his mom said I don't know if that's true or not his mom told me that I never asked Dave about it you shouldn't even ask let it live in legend yeah I like the story

Oh, great.

I'm glad to be here.

I hope you come and see me play.
