A little ditty ’bout Jack and Diane / Two American kids growing up in the heart land / Jack he’s gonna be a football star / Diane debutante in the back seat of Jacky’s car.â€
Admit it: you just went full John Cougar Mellencamp as you read that.
Imagine being in Tucson Music Hall with 2,289 fellow Mellencamp fans — he dropped the “Cougar†years ago — singing those lyrics at the top of your lungs.
Mellencamp, 67, is bringing “The John Mellencamp Show†to Tucson Music Hall on April 28 for a night of those classic 1980s folk-rock hits — “Jack and Diane,†“Little Pink Houses,†“Hurts So Good,†“Small Town,†“I Need A Lover,†“Rumbleseat,†“Authority Song†— along with some new material.
Tickets start at $37.50 through , and if you buy online, you’ll get a hard copy — you know, something you can’t download on a computer or stream on an app — of his album “Other People’s Stuff,†which Republic Records is expected to release in December.
