I'm scared already!

Jackie gonna be a football sta-ar.
Diane gonna get run over, by Jackie's car

I thought it was "John Cougar". Did he get married or something?

Well, at least we know why subby isn't a writer. So there's that.

And the Republicans will mistake it's gritty story about the dark side of life in America for nationalistic tripe.

Two masters of middle-brow suckage are at it again.

Will it have allusions to small town America and take cheap shots are Republicans, Christians and Nixon?

Well, Stephen King is involved.

SockMonkeyHolocaust		2012-11-15 08:49:07 PM

haha haef you seen this picture from a show called The Family Guy that is topical to this discussion at hand?

OnlyM3		2012-11-15 08:58:11 PM

It's a real shame Bryan didn't back up to see what he hit.

wildcardjack		2012-11-15 09:01:48 PM

Is it Springsteen or Mellencamp that does the four hour long concert set?

Either or, I'd expect the resulting musical to take no less than a month to finish.

DaCaptain19		2012-11-15 09:17:11 PM

Perfect combo. Mellencamp can't write songs and King can't write books

zerkalo		2012-11-15 09:23:22 PM

Add John Hodgeman to this hodgepodge and I might be intrigued

KrispyKritter		2012-11-15 09:36:54 PM

Mr.King is the reason i gave disco a second chance, so i am confused. John Cougar Mellonhead is known for the cowboy farmer violin sound. I hope they come up with something really weird and surprise us all. doubt that will happen.

fusillade762		2012-11-15 09:50:35 PM

And due to the fact that no one will be allowed to edit it, it will be 15 hours long.

"Funny" button for both of you.

Baby, Can you Dig Your Man in Little Pink Houses For You and Me?

Hector Remarkable		2012-11-15 10:01:51 PM

I have to admit, this sounds just...just terrible.

It's been John Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp, and now John Mellencamp, many people already knew this, he just changes it up every 10-15 years or so.

Wow, Mellencamp's been along far longer than that. Hell, he was even a glam rocker at some point in the 70's.

WordsnCollision		2012-11-15 10:18:41 PM

Cougarjo?

galactus5000		2012-11-15 11:01:05 PM

The last time Stephen King collaborated with a musician, we got Black Ribbons; so I am pretty interested in where this can go.

FuryOfFirestorm		2012-11-15 11:56:23 PM

Oh yeah, life goes on...even when the thrill of killing is gone...

brigid_fitch		2012-11-16 12:01:14 AM

♫ K-I-L-L in the USA...♫

"Little Pink Lesions".

literally lolled.

Blood on the scarecrow indeed.

This is Atlanta's Woodruff Arts Center. It is in close proximity to 1) Financial high-rises and 2) A bunch of gay people.

It also was hosting this thing in, like, April. oldnewsisexciting.jpg.

Ok then...

"If anyone gives you 10,000 to one on anything, you take it. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I am going to be a very rich dude."

gunga galunga		2012-11-16 07:36:20 AM

Now now, subby. That 3O minute finale number tying the Crimson King into the story is integral to the whole narrative structure of this show.

So. much. win!

Scarecrow is a scary song, subby

Shooter > Cougar

Orgasmatron138		2012-11-16 08:27:29 AM

Ugh. I used to be one of King's biggest fans, but the best thing he's written in years was what he said about Twilight.

BroVinny		2012-11-16 09:15:24 AM

OregonVet: Well, at least we know why subby isn't a writer. So there's that.

I'd "Funny" this, or even "Smart" this, but I went back and looked at the headline, and everything appears copacetic. What gives?

Crewmannumber6		2012-11-16 09:23:52 AM

I was shocked to find out that John mellencamp was born with Spina Bifida

I'm so glad I have John Mellencamp to explain what it's like to grow up in southern Indiana. Really!

Here's a better King musical collaboration:

Strange, I saw this musical in Atlanta last year. It was great. The Devil is really the best part.

GibbyTheMole		2012-11-17 08:56:50 AM

Sounded like something I wouldn't be interested in. Then I noticed T-Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello, Neko Case, and Taj Mahal are involved. So now, I'm a bit intrigued.
