Join us for an author reading and discussion, with musical accompaniment!
Mellencamp: American Troubadour
by David Masciotra.
This is first major treatment of one of America's great songwriters and rock 'n' roll performers -- John Mellencamp. This book combines biography, musical journalism, and cultural criticism to present an engaging and entertaining look at Mellencamp, rock 'n' roll, and American culture. Mellencamp traces his path from small town Indiana through the meat grinder of the music business to becoming the founder (with Willie Nelson) of Farm Aid, the longest running benefit concert series in the U.S. Songs like Little Pink Houses and Jack & Diane became top hits that spoke to the contradictions of "the American Dream" experienced by millions of people. Don't miss the story behind the songs and the songwriter.
