Singer John Mellencamp on the ‘Charlie Rose Show’ said the removal of the Taliban after 9/11 was wrong, but further Mellencamp stated if the United States knew exactly where Osama bin Laden was it would be wrong to drop a bomb on OBL’s head.
Mellencamp: I think what would have been appropriate is exactly what we’re going to have to do right now.
Rose: What’s that?
Mellencamp: Talk to people.
Rose: Who do we go talk to? Do we call him up and say, “Osama, can we talk about this? We’re not real happy about this. Can we talk about it?”
Mellencamp then said we should talk to “the Muslims” and ask “where are we so far apart here?”
Later in the interview Mellencamp says he doesn’t know how he’d respond to the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II because he doesn’t really know what happened. He says he’s read books, but he doesn’t know if history is always right.
This is exactly why we don't ask musicians their opinions on world events. They are usually sheltered from the real world by "yes" men and have their every wish catered to. John doesn't seem to give a shit that we were attacked first. He doesn't seem to give a shit that 3,000 of his fellow countrymen were slaughtered for no reason other then they some delusional asshole decided he didn't like us one day.
John, do us all a favor and just stick to singing about America and poor people, all the while not giving a shit and charging $75 a ticket and telling people to who can't afford it to "not come".
Hypocritical motherfucker.
