John Cougar Mellencamp - Uh-Huh .jpg) .gif) By Rickey Wright
"Pink Houses" is the state-of-our-union anthem that John
Mellencamp likes to boast about, but the real class-awareness beef of
1983's Uh-Huh is in "Authority Song" ("Call up my
preacher... / He said, 'You don't need no strength, you need to grow up,
son'")--not to mention the kidding cynicism of "Crumblin'
Down" and the Mellencamp-John Prine collaboration "Jackie
O." With his Stonesy band crackling behind him, the newly minted
superstar also shows that he gets the joke of his "serious
business" on "Play Guitar," which might have been the
album's fourth hit single if not for its admonition to "forget all
about that macho shit."
