Back in 1982 when Jack and Diane was the big song I had a crush on a girl in junior high,i was a 9th grader she was an 8th grader.Her name was Diane and I would always walk by her locker and shut it asking where's Jack,where's Jack lol.She was a hot gal.Here it is 2017 and we been together since 1983 and married since 1991 and got two kids and still remembering Jack and Diane :)
oh wow Jim that is just so cool. Good for you, that's gotta be a great time to remember so well & also to be brought back there, every time you hear the song.
I'd greatly appreciate it if some Mellencamp fans would check out my unplugged piano & vocal cover version of Jack & Diane, which you can find by clicking on my channel, i did my best to do justice to the Man. Thanks and please pardon the self promotion.
Man it's how you get yourself out there. RU-vid sure isn't going to promote ya. If you're not some pop artist they don't care. I've got many as well. But I don't get very many visitors. hahaha. I'll check it out.
John that was beautiful. Brought tears of joy watching you with your Granddaughter. She is a doll. Just thinking about how you wrote & sang that song many moons back & her she is singing that same song right there with you on Jimmy Kimmel's show. I have been a fan of yours 4 years. That was special. Thank you sir. God Bless. 🇺🇸
John is a masterful song writer, incredible painter and true artist who channels many talents through his work and mind -- we are lucky to have grown up with his influences.
Fantastic! Like having John (and his cute granddaughter) in your living room!! I am almost convinced this song was inspiration for Bon Jovi's living on a prayer
He allowed God to reveal n express through him. This man truly believes in the power n validity of the Supernatural. He stated that initially..it's not him ..the words just flow thru him.
John's granddaughter is such a cutie and looks just like him!!!! She's just adorable and so full of energy, and was totally stealing the show from Jimmy and John, LOL!!!! SO CUTE!
Think that was in his record label’s contract, if I’m remembering correctly. I do remember him saying he didn’t like it, but he went out on a limb after being a cameraman & thinking he could play better than band he was filming.
What have the "CHORDS" got to do with the "WORDS"..read comments "carefully" and reply when you *Understand* music that has been transposed, Lacy.. You totally missed the point..ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--21-kS9SiAQ.html
Not the same chords putting it mildly This is a tidally pretty tough song acoustically if you're going to add that beautiful lick at the start and chord progression which I actually don't think john wrote seeing him play this a few times acoustically now
Damn, listen to the words, He should retire this song already. Boys actually thought like this back in the 70s... Today most of us teach our sons to respect women. So many of my friends were date rape victims because of this way of thinking. Sad that he doesn't acknowledge this and sang this crap right in front of his little granddaughter. In this instance, Mellencamp is tone-deaf.
