Nothin’ Matters and What If It Did

Greatly Appreciated

NOTHIN’ MATTERS AND WHAT IF IT DID

 
Nothin’ Matters and What If It Did  is John Mellencamp’s fourth released album, under his pseudonym of John Cougar.  It includes the moderate hits “Ain’t Even Done with the Night”, which reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “This Time” (#27).  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
John Mellencamp kept getting better in his work, with subsequent albums Nothin’ Matters and What If It Did and American Fool (both released under the name John Cougar) spawning several hit songs:  “Ain’t Even Done with the Night”, “Hurts So Good” (both suggestive of S&M), “Jack & Diane” (Gulfport has a tattoo parlor with that name, although those are the real names of the owners), and “Hand to Hold Onto”.
