John Cougar Mellencamp sounds a bit pretentious for us unsophisticated hicks from Indiana. I'm sure the man himself would agree 

 

I don't know. Some call him John Mellencamp; some John Cougar. I call him the full name. Pretentious?? Nah

 

What is a hick? :scratch:

IIRC the man despised the 'Cougar' part.  Marketing branded him that.

I met him once in Bloomington on the street. I was making a delivery and he pulled up on a cycle and didn't realize he parked right in the way at the back of my truck. As he was walking away I ask him to move his cycle because he was in the way.  He was as nice as he could be. He said he was sorry that he never thought about it. I told him thanks and ask him if he was John Cougar and his response was that wasn't his real name. He then said his name was John Mellencamp and he was from a few miles down the road. We made some small talk and then went on our way. He seemed like a great guy to me. He has sure changed from those days for sure.  More poet and artist these days.

Yes, Johnny Cougar first, then the full. He buckled under to get his 1st record deal, then battled against it later.  ;-)

Johnny Cougar 

 

Man had a right to his real name, but he'd be the first to admit he's a hick

 

Also Larry Bird is the "Hick from French Lick"

 

Crazycolt1 likely never asked him about it. Bird was called that.  But we'll table all the talk about it and get  the thread back on topic.
