I always knew he'd be inducted. Except for the embarrasing compromise of changing his name to John "Cougar",Mellencamp has always remained true to himself and did it in his style.
In the 1980's,you couldnt have asked for a more down to earth new American artist then he is. He didn't sell out to the ridiculous quirks that made up that decade's fashions,music or over all ideals that $$$ is more important than one's own self.
Right on John!
