MIXED MESSAGE: When singer John Mellencamp discovered that John McCain was playing some of his songs at campaign rallies, Mellencamp's publicist wrote to McCain to question this use of the songs. Mellencamp supported John Edwards until he dropped out of the race for president. The songs that McCain was using are populist and pro-labor in sentiment.
In "Pink Houses" Mellencamp sings about a simple man who "pays for the thrills, the bills and the pills that kill." And in "Our Country" he sings, "There's room enough here for science to live, and there's room enough here for religion to forgive" (AP).
