Mellencamp changing

TORONTO (CP)
John Cougar Mellencamp is a picture

These days,

of contradictions
Rich, but bitter. Approaching 40,
but still rebellious. Popular, but sear
ching tor artistic purity
As | grow older, 1 just find I'm at

complete odds with the music

business,"’ the superstar singer said
recently from his rural retreat near
Bloomington, Ind. “The minute you
add commerce to art, it screws it all up.
I hate to sound like a bitter old
man, but nobody asks if it's a good
recordanymore. 1 hey ask if it sold bet
ter than the last one
Mellencamp’s views dovetail with
his current passion — oil painting. Sin
ce coming off an eight-month tour that
ended last July, the 37-year-old singer
has spent much of hiy time in front of
angasel.
“Isa tor than

more exciting

making records," he says.

Plus, I don’t need to validate my
paintings to anybody
