Even when he was still chafing under the "John Cougar" name, Mellencamp started writing some damn good songs. Songs with teeth that told uncomfortable truths. Early in his career he was a rage machine, always angry at somebody or something. That might've made him miserable to work with, but when he channeled that intensity into his music, such as with "Crumblin' Down," well, we were all better off for it.
