Mellencamp

A complex, colorful and larger than life character, John Mellencamp walks to the beat of his own drum. Rees brings into full relief the complex, iconoclastic character of the man. With Mellencamp's full blessing, Rees includes new interviews from his friends, family and colleagues, as well as artists whom Mellencamp has had a pronounced influence on. The result is a story of the American heartland, running parallel to the advent of rock-and-roll, the Summer of Love, the singer-songwriter superstars and the nihilistic punks of the nineteen-seventies, the founding of MTV and the have-it-all eighties, the creation of Farm Aid, and the radical re-shaping of the music industry that has gone on through this century. -- adapted from publisher info
