[edit] NPOV

This article clearly doesn't display a neutral point of view. This reads like an entry on a fansite.

I second Tim on this. This was very likely cut-and-paste from a fan site.

There's some copyvio from http://www.bookingentertainment.com/artists/rock/booking-john-mellencamp.php --Lukobe 02:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

The begining of the article states that he is dead which I'm fairly certain is innaccurate.

A third for seriously non-NPOV.

[edit] Influence of Paul Newman

I wonder if Mellencamp has ever spoken publicly on the obvious influence Paul Newman and his movies have had on him. Mellencamp named one of his children Hud, after Newman's movie, and several of his lyrics reference Newman movies. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.5.192.90 (talk) 03:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
