Back in college I was so blown away by John Mellencamp's greatest hits compilation, The Best That I Could Do, that I sold my CD back to the record store and put the proceeds towards two of his regular releases, American Fool and Scarecrow, with plans for celebrating the man's entire catalog as income allowed.
A short while later I was again at the CD store, this time selling back those two CDs and using the money to rebuy the hits package.
This Sunday John Mellencamp's making a visit to the big town when he plays the Louisville Palace. The show starts at 8:20 p.m. with a documentary film, It's About You, airing at 7 p.m.
Tickets, $55-$143 ($109 looks to be the cheapest option remaining), are available at LiveNation.com.
