It was about a claim that he was heckled for singing the praises of Joe Biden, which was manifestly untrue.


I acknowledged that.

I’m just talking about the heckling itself. If Mellencamp had been playing hit after hit, and then took a break to talk about his grandmother, and then this guy heckled it’s one thing. And I’m not so much defending the heckler as I am saying I don’t think it was the one thing…I’m saying I think it was likely the dude was tired of hearing stories before every song, got fed up and boiled over ….just my opinion of course.

Also, I could be wrong but I don’t think the whole show was acoustic. Just that set.

I didn't see a show on this tour, but from what I have read this tour reminds me of a Ron White show. Bear with me.

EVERY second of Ron's performance is scripted, from every puff on the cigar to every sip of bourbon from the cut crystal highball glass. The entire hour-plus is a seamless piece, and Ron completely loses his shite if someone breaks the flow.

It seems that Mellencamp was doing something similar on this tour, with the movie clips and poetry readings scattered through the performance.
