She can make anyone feel better with her food.
Generations old pie crust recipe with home grown blackberries! I’ve never had food like my grandmas. Fried chicken, sliced tomatoes from my granddads garden and blackberry cobbler. Suns up!!

The only place I have ever called home before marrying my husband. Or I was just moved by music at 3 years old?Īlso during that time, my emotions go back to my grandparents house. Dates seemed to be skewed when googling it. I was 3 when that song was released, but I felt older when watching the video. I remember watching the music video to this song on MTV when it was released. I could tell a story about my life through music. My mom played the shit out of albums, tapes, radio. No consistent place to call home other than my grandparents house. An 8 year old little girl watching her parents marriage falling apart. When thinking of a name for my blog, I dig deep to an emotional time in my life. Ain’t that America, we’re somethin’ to see, baby. Retrieved October 4, 2010.“Oh, ain’t thatAmerica, for you and me.

Mellencamp contacted the McCain campaign pointing out Mellencamp's support for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and questioning McCain's use of his music in response, the McCain campaign ceased using Mellencamp's songs. "Pink Houses" along with "Our Country" was played by Senator John McCain at political events for his 2008 presidential campaign.

Ironically, the song came to be used in political advertisements and campaign rallies, especially by conservatives. The repeating line in the chorus of "Ain’t that America" was meant to be sarcastic and cynical. Mellencamp had intended Pink Houses to be a lesson on race, class and survival in America. At an October 2014 press conference, he stated: "A long time ago, I wrote a song called 'Pink Houses.' Now when I hear that song, all I can think is: 'Why didn't I do a better job on the last verse?' If I had written it today, the last verse would've had more meaning."

"He waved, and I waved back," Mellencamp said in an interview with Rolling Stone.
There was an old black man sitting outside his little pink shotgun house with his cat in his arms, completely unperturbed by the traffic speeding along the highway in his front yard. Recorded in a farmhouse in Brownstown, Indiana, the song was inspired when Mellencamp was driving along an overpass on the way home to Bloomington, Indiana, from the Indianapolis airport.
