AMERICAN FOOL
American Fool is the fifth album released by John Mellencamp, released under the stage name John Cougar in 1982. The album was his commercial breakthrough, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart in 1982 and becoming the best-selling album of that year. (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”.
