No matter what phase of music I enjoyed, from heavy metal to punk to Christian, John Mellencamp was always a favorite though every decade of my life. I remember being 16 and hearing his lyric, Hold on to 16 as long as you can, changes coming around real soon make us women and men' and I took it to heart.
