Possibly the greatest stage set I've ever seen was when they blew through here on the Low Budget tour - they had the Paramount stage stripped all the way back to a bare brick wall, hung a ripped white sheet on that with gaff tape and put a sickly-looking palm tree stage left. It was beautiful. The other contender would be 1976 Lou Reed, with a wall of TV monitors in an arc behind the band all showing B&W images of randomly pulsing blobs, in no way synched to the music, each other, or anything else. It was about as not-psychedelic as anything could be but I can see where it would be riveting if you had a head full of amphetamine. Uncle Lou himself looked like a choirboy in jeans and a pullover over a white shirt - not a trace of nazi rock'n'roll vampire psycho to be seen.

Funny thing about the lyrics on that one... I heard if before I'd ever, well, slept with anyone, and JCM's sort of putdown of "sleepin' with your back to your loved one" always stuck in my head as something rather disrespectful to do to one's bedmate.

Think I misunderstood the first time through this when I came up with the analogy Mellencamp is to the Mats as Freddie & the Dreamers are to the Beatles. At least I got a chuckle out of it.

Fiddle-de-dee. I'm too lazy to check right now, but I know I have several 75+ CDs from the late '80s. Notoriously, there was that Mission of Burma comp that was 80:08 or something - probably still the longest single CD ever. (What's weird is that it was reissued and was 79 something...probably just trimmed out all the gaps, or (horrors) faded some fades early.

Better in the real sense, in that both of them are pretty no frills meat-and-potatoes stuff, but Mellencamp tends to seek out better quality ingredients and knows more about cooking than Johnny Hardword does. Goo Goo Dolls is like eating at McDonald's even at their best; JCM is a pretty decent, though not quite special, family owned hamburger joint.
