Mary Helen claims that we are all celebrities in Bloomington. And yeah, she's got a point. But, c'mon, she is one of the few local celebrities who can claim that, on a regular basis, she goes into a home and leaves after another human has magically appeared. In this episode, we get to talk about one of our favorite subjects: screwing life up in your teens and twenties. We also discuss Russian literature, Led Zeppelin, the fight to legalize midwifery in Indiana, Tom Donahue of TD's CDs and LPs, and much more.

If there was any justice in this world, I'd be opening up for him instead of him for me.” Lucinda Williams“The epitome of real, true American rock 'n' roll!” – Pop Matters“He's a rocker's rocker, protégé of the famous.” -- USA Today“A man who embodies the true spirit of rock n' roll.” - London Times“RIVETING!...Springsteen, Mellencamp, Van Morrison…Willie Nile has earned his standing in that esteemed company! – BlurtSegment Three:"MY GAL SAL"Paul Dresser's “My Gal Sal” is a song that beautifully captures the essence of love and devotion. Its universal message and enchanting melody continue to resonate with audiences, making it a timeless classic. Whether it reminds you of a loved one or simply brings a smile to your face, this song stands as a testament to the enduring power of music to touch our souls.Also known as "They Call Her Frivolous Sal," this 1905 song by Paul Dresser has the distinction of being the first song ever performed in a motion picture film. This was of course The Jazz Singer which was released October 6, 1927.Dresser died in 1906 so had no idea his work would be so honored. In the film it is sung briefly (and ostensibly) by the teenage Robert Gordon, although it is dubbed by an unknown singer.Since its first publication at New York in 1905, "My Gal Sal" has been republished a number of times including around 1960, and has also been fairly widely recorded. >>In 1942, a musical film based on Paul Dresser's life called My Gal Sal was released. Victor Mature played Dresser.

  Kenneth Aronoff is a drummer for John Mellencamp. He's also part of a documentary, The Untold Stories Of Your Favorite Musicians. He talks about the early days with Mellencamp when he was asked to come up with a drum solo of sorts for a new song, Jack & Diane. When I first heard him say it my mind went into a few different directions. One, being good under pressure. Not everybody is. How can we improve that skill? Two, being good on your feet. That is, being able to figure it out in real-time, with the clock ticking. Again, how can we hon that ability? Three, knowing you're at a pivot point that could (no guarantees) change everything. How can we recognize the importance of this moment? Aronoff had enough of all three to handle this moment. “It's kind of funny...the moments on which life hinges. I think growing up you always imagine your life--your success--depends on your family and how much money they have, where you go to college, what sort of job you can pin down, starting salary...But it doesn't, you know. You wouldn't believe this, but life hinges on a couple of seconds you never see coming. And what you decide in those few seconds determines everything from then on... And you have no idea what you'll do until you're there...” ― Marisha Pessl, Special Topics in Calamity Physics (a novel) Pessl is a novelist who has crafted some great lines. Truthful lines. This is one of favorites. Life often hinges on a couple of seconds we never see coming. More accurately, it hinges on what we do in that moment. In those seconds. And while you have no idea until you're there, all the things we've done up that moment prepare us. I will prepare and some day my chance will come.  - Abraham Lincoln That line speaks to our ability and our optimism. The belief that we'll put in the necessary work and in time, we'll get an opportunity. I often wonder if we knew in advance of that moment, would it help us or hurt us? Might we live in constant fear and anxiety if we knew? It may be a blessing that when those moments arrive, we had little or no warning. In the last episode I talked about how special forces train so when the battle erupts, they react wisely (and well) automatically. So much so, they describe their reactions under fire as "it just happens." That's the value of preparation. It's the value of focus, intensity and dedication to constant improvement. It's also the quest to learn what we don't yet know. Ignorance isn't bliss. It can be disastrous when we act based on it. Many dramatic stories prove the point. Mostly, tragedies prove it. Hamlet. Romeo & Juliet. Stories where people lacked knowledge, but took actions based on it. Stories where they had 25 to save themselves, or somebody else...but they got it wrong. Tragedy has visited each of us, partly because of actions taken based on our ignorance. We thought something, but without full knowledge, or understanding, we got it wrong. The result was tragic. Maybe not life and death tragic, but some version of tragic none the less. 25 feet to get it right. Or to get it wrong. I began to consider the journey to those 25 feet, wondering how important those feet are. And how we might influence them. Reminiscing of my 25-foot-moments I tried to remember what led me there. What happened and how did I get it wrong? Did I get it wrong? Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Please tell a friend about the podcast! • Join our private Facebook group • Email me

Should stars use concert stages and football fields as platforms for their politics or policy activism? John Cougar Mellencamp made news this week for leaving the stage after being challenged by his fans to “just play music!” rather than proselytizing his public policy views from the stage. Jacki is joined by Jeff Fisher of “Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher” to discuss. Jacki argues that the stage and field are not the *performer's* platform, and that having to suffer through Mellencamp's sermon should be a breach of contract for a ticket purchaser who thought they were exchanging big dollars for a performance of “Hurts So Good!”

By 1983, John Mellencamp had finally gotten the upper hand on his career. After the success of his breakthrough album, 1982's American Fool, he had all the cards in his deck to change the game when it came to his relationship with the music business executives who had tried to control him from the start, over six years earlier.  For his seventh studio album, Uh Huh, he did just that. Released in the fall of '83, t is the first album that bears his last name, an important step toward freeing himself of artistic shackles. Uh Huh was another success for Mellencamp on the charts, and one of its charting singles could be viewed as his mission statement: a song that encapsulates not only his battle with the folks in the corner offices who tried to dictate his career but the very spirit of the man himself.

They talk about the collaboration with Indiana's Hard Truth Distilling Co., showcasing a limited series of whiskeys, each adorned with a painting by musician and artist John Mellencamp. The new release, Mellencamp Whiskey Farmer's Reserve, is a blend of sweet mash bourbon and rye finished in Amburana casks, revealing rare flavors from Indiana's farmers. As a new era of the Mellencamp family name begins, building a reputation for incredible whiskey, this is the first time the three founders have been interviewed like this. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bourbonblog/support

   In a sit down interview on Don Lemon's new show, Elon Musk doubles down on something nobody is talking about.  All these illegal aliens in America are ALREADY swaying the elections toward Democrats.  Musk also told Lemon everyone is a descendant of a slave and we need to move past it.  Wow.    The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in the Murthy v Missouri case that's trying to prevent the government from interfering in free speech as the Biden administration did working with big tech to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop and keep actual Covid information from the public that they deemed unworthy.    Singer John Mellencamp has turned into America's worst human.  He's miserable, won't stand for the anthem and hates his audiences made up of Trump voters.  Wait until you hear what this classless singer did in Ohio Sunday night.   Harrison Butker, on the other hand, may be America's best human.  He did an interview with EWTN Catholic TV and everyone in our great country should hear it.    The New York Post is counting how much money Travis Kelce is spending to date Taylor Swift, an olathe man snags a world record fish and it's time to cut down a certain tree in your back yard.  I'll tell you which one.  

We're revisiting Terry Gross's 2009 interview with musician John Mellencamp. He's got a new album called Orpheus Descending out this month. Mellencamp's big hits in the 1980s included "Jack and Diane" and "Small Town." Film critic Justin Chang reviews Wes Anderson's new movie, Asteroid City, and David Bianculli reviews the new season of the Netflix anthology series Black Mirror.
