I know ya'll gonna make fun of me already.. so mock me all you want..but I cannot EXPLAIN my attraction to John (cougar) Mellencamp. It happened back in the early 80's, when I heard him croon in that sultry, lilting voice, about how it HURT so Good. I was hooked. He had everything that makes me crazy about a man. Talent, down to earth characteristics, realism, loyalty, and even looks. Ok, so he wasnt that TALL.. he was actually pretty short.. and in some pics he has really long hair and looks almost girlish. Theres a magnetism and profundity about his countenance that drives me crazy. Its what I look for in people. Its what I consider a "real man". I can't explain it (altho I think I tried to.. lolol) but that man is so fucking sexy I can't stand it. Granted, now he's literally a cadaver, and his choice of home states REALLY REEKS (altho I heard they have Starbucks in Indiana) but then..he was always traveling.. so how often was he in INDIANA ANYWAY?!??!???? lol. This man is what I look for..as far as magnetism goes.. it can exist in any look.. but goddamn.. he epitomizes it in some odd way. He ruled me during the 80s..but I finally grew away.. he'll always have a place in a strange part of my soul.. and I still don't even know where that is anyway or why I like him so much. Must be a past life thang....... (following is a short pictorial on him)
