Music Monday – “Nothing lasts forever/And your best efforts don’t always pay/Sometimes you get sick/And you don’t get better/That’s when life is short/Even in its longest days”

I’ve always loved John Mellencamp but mostly as a rocker.

So this song off his latest album caught me a bit by surprise (though I do hear echoes of “My Best Was Never Good Enough” by Bruce Springsteen on his “Ghost of Tom Joad” album.)

“Longest Days” – John Mellencamp

  2. Music Monday – “From the Monogaleh valley/To the Mesabi iron range/To the coal mines of Appalachia/The story’s always the same/Seven-hundred tons of metal a day/Now sir you tell me the world’s changed/Once I made you rich enough/Rich enough to forget my name”
