Or do we just make a big deal out of him because he is local? I could go either way, some songs are really good others, yuck.

I am from Oregon and really like his older stuff, but some of the newer stuff is kinda weird. Cherry Bomb is the bomb :)

It's a little of both. Local people tend to see their local stars or heroes bigger than other people do. I like his music. He has written some great songs. Larry Bird is a basketball hero everywhere, but in Indiana and Massachusettes, I do believe he is seen as a god. It's the same thing. Other people see him as great, but the people from his area see him as even greater.

I am from Indiana and they tried to have a concert here in Tennessee but only about 250 showed up for it! It was a small venue 1200 or so and he would have easily sold out in Indiana but here in Tennessee the promoter lost money!

I enjoy music by John 'Cougar' Melencamp. Some are good, some not to my taste. I find that true with all artists. I have never lived in Indiana.

Years ago, I liked John Cougar - not a fan of John Melencamp.
I live in Michigan.

Well, I like some of his stuff. I'm more of a Tom Petty kinda girl. I live in VA but I don't think I count. I am from Indiana.

I live is PA, and we like him. It depends on the type of music you like, if your only into pop or rap, you prolly don't. But I'm a rock fan and he's a staple in my Ipod.
We also love Springteen even though he's from Jersey.

Yeah, R.O.C.K. in the USA! As you said, some songs are good and some are not.
I remember when he used to be referred to as "John Cougar Mellencamp."
We hear his music mostly on "golden oldies" radio stations.

He is OK and loved over here in Europe! Of course, that goes for people over 30 who know him better!
