Jamie Barrett: #jackanddiane #americanfool #johncougar #johncougarmellencamp #1982 #holdonto16 I was 16 when this record came out in 1982… so this song has always meant a lot to me over the years…I first heard it as we watched it as a new video on this new cable show called MTV! Like Don Henley’s “The Boys Of Summer,” this song hit me hard then and continues to have its spell cast over me still… 40 years later, the lyrics and music are like an old high school yearbook that I keep revisiting… Jamie 🎸
