Take your nooses down? Like they're still up or something? That tree isn't even there, anymore.

If Mellencamp sang for them to take the nooses down, then he must not be a supporter of the violence. This offends Jena's mayor?
I've got a solution right here and now. Take the nooses down, convict the @$$holes behind that beating like any other criminal, tell Jackson and Sharpton to mind their own business, and move along.

Metaphors, Joe. I'm sure Mellencamp didn't mean the specific nooses hanging on that specific tree.

Mellencamp is stirring the pot. He is using the fact that he is a singer in a band to draw the media and feel like he is in the know
![]() ![]() A Zebra dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates. As he enters, he asks St. Peter, "I have a question that's haunted me all of my days on earth. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?" St. Peter said, "That's a question only God can answer." So the zebra went off in search of God. When he found Him, the zebra asked, "God, please - I must know. Am I white with black stripes, or am I black with white stripes?" God simply replied "You are what you are." The zebra returned to see St. Peter once more, who asked him, "Well, did God straighten out your query for you?" The zebra looked puzzled. "No sir, God simply said 'You are what you are.'" St. Peter smiled and said to the zebra, "Well then, there you are. You are white with black stripes." The zebra asked St. Peter, "How do you know that for certain?" "Because," said St. Peter, "If you were black with white stripes, God would have said, "You is what you is." If you laugh at this, Al Sharp ton & Jesse will be on your ass.

Anime, I think you should check out the song and the video before you defend Mellencamp. He may not mean those nooses but he is defintely stirring the pot with a big spoon.

This has gotten so out of control! I think the media and entertainers are enjoying putting our state down! Oh and don't forget the $$$ that will be made over making us all look like backwoods Klansmen yet again!

These music artists just need to stay out of politics. Remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks?

Everybody has a right to voice their opinion not matter what it might be. When someone in any business or music uses their status to push a certain agenda and particularly a political one it is wrong. When their agenda is to insult our country I find it offensive to "me" ! Why can not we agree do disagree
