    As big a fan as i am, the quote below really surprised me. I know his voice has had somewhat of a resurgence lately ''hard to believe at his age and with all the cigarette smoking '' but i never thought i'd hear it compared to Placido Domingo's. :laugh:

    It seems he can do no wrong these days, whether on stage or in the studio, a shame he's got many idiot ''fans'' who only go to his shows to hear Jack & Diane.

    My 18 year old son plays all my Mellencamp lps from back in the day, so for Christmas we got him tickets to the upcoming Chicago concert. Whole family is going to go.

    I was really enjoying the box set and book for On The Rural Route 7609 today and man, it's the very best way to experience Johns music. It's worth every penny, I couldn't be more satisfied.

    There's been a lot of criticism for the box set for what it could've included ''rarities, covers, b sides etc...'' and didn't, but there's no denying it's a great box set in both musical content and packaging.

    Awesome. I wish I could see him all over again. It was overwhelmingly good.

    I just pulled the trigger on tickets to see him in San antonio next month. I didn't get the very top tier tickets as it didn't seem like too good a value. Got a ticket about 20 rows up from the stage for 150 bucks.

    I downloaded the recent iheartradio performance onto my iPhone and loved the arrangements and fell In love with the new tracks, looking forward to getting my free download of the record soon.

    Remember that you'll be getting a download code for the new album for free when you buy your tix from the boxoffice website or over the phone.

    Not a huge fan, or even what I'd call a fan as I just know the hits from the radio, but he was playing a festival I was at last summer and I watched a good portion of his show. He was impressive, and a strong backing band. Just one of the musicians who has been doing this a long time and knows how to play to an audience.
