this song/video got JM on the hit list from the KKK. He was warned not to play certain areas because his video showed a black man dancing with a white girl. he was told he would be protested by the KKK and "targeted" for deterence. Of course JM never backed down, thank god.

JM has always been cool as fuck. Plus, he is a massive P fan.

I like that part on the 20th anniversary edition of Purple Rain DVD, where MTV is having the movie premiere party and John Cougar Mellencamp starts talking about playing "Little Red Corvette" through a tape recorder into the microphone at his concert. smile

Good Lord. Were we really acting that crazy just back in the 80's hmm

Honestly, when it come to race issues collectively we have been a hot mess as a nation neutral

One of his best. I love the other singles from the Lonesome Jubilee album (and the album as a whole).
