But Mellencamp, 47, is soldiering on, trying to re-establish his name, his image and his music. He has left Mercury Records, his label for some 20 years, and signed with Columbia. He has a new book of artwork out, Mellencamp: Paintings and Reflections (HarperCollins; $40). And he's willing to be unusually candid about almost anything...
