No Hoosier Love


The reverb is still echoing over Dan Quayle's walkout in the middle of a John Mellencamp concert in Lake Tahoe last weekend.

The singer-songwriter introduced his tune "Wall Talk" by announcing, "This next one is for all the poor people who've been ignored by the current administration."

As Quayle exited, the former veep explained, "I didn't appreciate the comment, and besides, I didn't think the show was very good." But Mellencamp said he couldn't care less that Quayle got his knickers in a twist: "I certainly wouldn't have changed a word." NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley backed Mellencamp, saying, "He's right."

While that may sound odd coming from a former conservative, Barkley told a local reporter, "I was a Republican - until they lost their minds." Quayle, known for his great golf game, served as veep under President Bush's father from 1989-'93.

--So much for that Hoosier love...

Which, in my opinion, is such a stupid thing to remember.

"I was a Republican - until they lost their minds."

That sentence would make so much more sense if it said democrats actualy. If we are talking..you know...current times.

Says: Littleorangefox at July 20, 2006 02:08 PM

I'm completely baffled here. So Quayle didn't like the show and left. Big deal. I'm surprised that he even went in the first place. Mellencamp has always been a liberal thinker.

But that aside, there are many Republicans who are not happy with the current administration. It's not like this is a lunatic fringe thing. It's pretty easy (and cheap, to some extent) to do it for applause like some artists do, but Mellencamp puts his money where his mouth is. He's got a point of view and he lets that out in his songs. Seriously, did Dan Quayle not listen to Rain On The Scarecrow? Does he not recall the political underpinnings of Mellencamp taking up for family farmers?

I guess I'd ask Quayle, "what did you expect?"

And really, I don't understand that last comment either. The Republican party is not what it was 10-15 years ago at all. The party is no longer about less government or fiscal responsibility. But party zealots exist in both camps who will ally based less on the name and more on the "D" or the "R."

And lest we forget, the Republican Party has held the House and Senate for most of the past 12 years and the Oval Office for the past six. You can blame a lot on Democrats, but not "current times."

I digress.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Appreciate it!

After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is a means you can remove me from that service? Cheers.
