MELLENCAMP: “...and then it got real quiet.”
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: “Just play some music!”
(Audience boos)
MELLENCAMP: “What do you think I’ve been doing, you [bleep]sucker? Now here’s the thing, man. You don’t know me. You don’t [bleep] know me!
(Applause)
Hey, Joe, find this guy and let me see him after the show. (...) Guys, I can stop this show right now and just go home. (...) I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. Since you’ve been so wonderful, I’m going to cut about 10 songs out of the show. Here we go.
(Plays ‘Jack and Diane’)
You know what, show’s over.”
