The role instead went to some guy named Brad Pitt. According to a 2017 interview on The Howard Stern Show, Mellencamp says he turned down the role of hunky J.D. (Despite the parallels to his real-life, the film is not biographical.) Mellencamp's first film could have come earlier, and might have made him into a star.
#John mellencamp pink houses movie#
Written by Lonesome Dove author Larry McMurtry and actually directed by Mellencamp himself, this 1992 movie is about a country music star whose life is a mess to heads back to his Indiana hometown to get his head on straight. His biggest acting work to date (among about four movies) is his film debut: Falling from Grace. While those musical stars successfully branched out into this other form of entertainment, Mellencamp resisted the lure of pursuing silver-screen stardom. It’s times like this that I miss wearing a mask.As a photogenic guy with millions of fans, Hollywood came calling for John Mellencamp the way it has for so many other well-known musicians, from Elvis Presley to Dolly Parton to LL Cool J. Maybe I’m getting a bit old and ornery, and this has nothing to do with Mellencamp himself, but before going to a concert, do those around you a favor - be careful what you eat so you’re not ripping farts trying to make your own drum beat, and don’t wear enough perfume/cologne so that the person next to you can taste it. What’s the downside of being in a crowded auditorium when the energy is high and the crowd’s loving every minute of the performance? The smells. 8 show had its fair share of profanity-laced commentaries by John Mellencamp.
He noted that time seems to go by even faster as you get older. However, there were plenty of hits he left out, such as “Authority Song,” “Wild Night,” and “Ain’t Even Done with the Night.” That being said, I’m just impressed he’s still on the road at 71 and appears to be enjoying every moment.
Mellencamp performed for an hour and 45 minutes and packed in plenty of hits, such as “Pink Houses,” a solo acoustic “Jack & Diane,” a powerful combination of “Crumblin’ Down” and “Gloria” and more. John Mellencamp sang all his hits, and then some, during his set at Ovens Auditorium. “And you just kicked it aside and jumped straight to the chorus.” Though it might read a bit ornery, Mellencamp didn’t seem mean spirited in any of his profanity-laced commentaries. After his quick rant, he opened up a bit more, telling a couple of stories and getting annoyed when the crowd skipped the second verse of “Jack & Diane.” “Do you know how long it took me to write that fuckin’ verse?” he asked the crowd.
“I hate that … and I’m sorry, but maybe I’m not for everyone anymore.” Up until that point, Mellencamp was focused on the music. “Hey, if you’re one of those cocksuckers who likes to yell during the quiet part of the show, take that bullshit into the hallway…” he told the sold-out auditorium. He’s “not for everyone anymore.” It was approximately halfway through his hour-and-45-minute set on before Mellencamp finally addressed the crowd.
