John Mellencamp

Classic rock fans of all ages have grown up with John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane," Tommy and Gina from Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" and Billy Joe and Bobby Sue from the Steve Miller Band's "Take the Money and Run."

Happy Birthday today (October 7th) to rocker John Mellencamp. He's 63. Also celebrating today is drummer Tico Torres of Bon Jovi(61) and original Kansas bassist Dave Hope(65).

John Mellencamp will be hitting towns both small and large as part of a massive new 80-date tour in support of his forthcoming 'Plain Spoken' album.

Three weeks after John Mellencamp released the first single from his upcoming album, the singer-songwriter has just unveiled another track.

The lineup for this year's FarmAid concert has been announced.

Mellencamp performed this song before just 1,500 lucky souls in 2003 at New York's Town Hall.

John Mellencamp will release 'Plain Spoken' this fall.

John Mellencamp will play a series of dates in North America this summer.

He's known for being surly when he has to be, but John Mellencamp can also be a pretty thoughtful and reflective guy -- as he is during a new profanity-laced interview that finds him laughing, "I'm the luckiest guy you will ever talk to."
