when will he explore the connection with farm subsidies?

From this AM's C-J, "Mellencamp reflects, rocks" by Jeffrey Lee Puckett...

John Mellencamp has been a thinking man's rock singer since he traded his self-absorption for a broader viewpoint in the mid-1980s. He never abandoned looking inward, but few artists have so consistently explored the connection between personal and world politics -- for Mellencamp, it's not that long a walk from treating your neighbor poorly to starting a war.

Unfortunately, for Mellencamp, it's still a long a walk from taking the money of average taxpayers and giving it to wealthy farmers-- especially those with his last name. I'm still waiting for him to "explore that connection"-- and to "reflect" on the ways in which he "rocks" taxpayers.
