Whatever.

He paid for IU’s football facility and much of their football stadium renovations but is too stupid to actually be able to attend college

About 1/4 of the 1951 cohort cadged a baccalaureate degree.

I cut John Mellencamp exactly the amount of slack he cuts everyone else, which is none. His music generally qualifies as musical terrorism – usually about dropping out of school, smoking weed, getting a girl knocked up, doing drugs, getting arrested. Rebel without a clue. Vanilla Ice with a guitar. Pretty much everyone who has dealt with him personally says he’s an arrogant, entitled douche who’s dumber than frozen broccoli. He paid for IU’s football facility and much of their football stadium renovations but is too stupid to actually be able to attend college. On top of all that, he’s a hard leftist. And if you lived anywhere between the Lake County line and the Ohio River, you couldn’t escape his musical terrorism until iPods, satellite radio, and streaming came out.

He supposedly has a history of being ungracious to fans when they cross paths with him in mundane life (not at events, but out and about). Joe DiMaggio was reportedly quite deft in devising strategies to protect his privacy without being disagreeable to strangers, but I guess not everyone is quite so skillful. You might cut him some slack or you might recall Sonny Bono’s take on this, which is that when you’ve gone into the entertainment business, being distracted by strangers in public places is just part of the cost of doing business and you gotta roll with it.

Another Midwest boy who does not. Seems like a big phony, to my ears.

(Though to be fair to the good doctor, psychopaths gotta do what psychopaths gotta do…)

Truth-challenged psychopath—in full plumage—STILL lying “after all these years”….

Opening grafs:
‘ Former National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci on Thursday rejected congressional testimony from a former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director alleging that Fauci had excluded proponents of the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab from major discussions on handling the pandemic.
‘ “I really feel badly…’

Yeah, sure ye’ did…but not nearly as badly as you should be feeling; and not nearly as badly as the people whose lives you helped destroy by your consistently mendacious quackery.)

Talk about being in the right place at the right time…
(I guess in San Diego, all the world’s a zoo.)

“If you’re a boy who grew up in the Midwest, you just get this guy.”

No, you don’t.
