00:00One last story, John Mellencamp revealed to the Indianapolis Monthly that in addition to recently recording, he and Bruce Springsteen actually painted together.
00:12He said, Bruce and I have done two paintings together.
00:15This is my house, and this is the smoke coming out of the chimney, and this is me and my family holding hands, and that's a D.
00:22He said, we have a...
00:24That's a turkey, I made it with my hand.
00:25He said, we have a painting that we worked on for two days straight.
00:30He said, he painted one side, I painted the other.
00:32That's the hope.
00:33And he also said, Bruce had never painted at all, and he was really good, really into it.
00:38Have you seen any of Mellencamp's stuff?
00:41Yeah, he's really good.
00:42He's accomplished.
00:43How come your turkey looks better?
00:45I don't know if he does realistic stuff or not, but he definitely does some cool things.
00:53Yeah, it might be considered impressionistic.
00:54Excess paint, and it blends all this together.
00:58Yeah, this is him.
00:59There we go.
01:00There we go.
01:01We're painting mountains, as you know.
01:03You always want the top of the mountain to be more distinct than the bottom of the mountain,
01:07because at the bottom, we have mist, and now we have wonderful pollution.
01:12So before I knew that I had ASMR, and I was a teenager, I would sit there with Bob Ross on, you know, smoke a little herb and just sit there and just absolutely zone out into it and have no idea why I liked him so much.
01:29Did you ever get inspired to attempt to paint along with him?
01:34Oh, God, no.
01:34I have no artistic ability whatsoever.
01:38At a younger age, I had tried.
01:40I had a friend who was a decent artist, and he gave me a canvas, and Steve, there was a house with chimney coming out of it and a daisy and a family.
01:49I mean, it was just terrible.
01:50It was horrible.
01:51Curly smoke coming out.
01:52Oh, yeah, just bad.
01:53The sun in the corner.
01:54Yeah, yeah.
01:55You know, with the lines coming out.
01:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:57With the rays coming out of it.
01:58Hey, son, you can't see the whole sun, but just a quarter.
02:01Anyhow, he said about Bruce, he said, I was surprised at how hard he tried.
02:07He was like, how do you do this, John?
02:09How do you make this work?
02:10This is terrible.
02:10We're trying to.
02:11It stinks.
02:12I can't draw.
02:14Why'd you make me do this?
02:16I don't want to do it.
02:18This is stupid.
02:22He's like a little kid.
02:23I can't draw.
02:24This is stupid.
02:25I tried to draw a cat.
02:28Why did you make me do this?
02:34God damn it.
02:36He just starts stamping in the.
02:37Don't want that.
02:39In one spot.
02:39I don't want to play with the ball.
02:42Stupid paint.
02:44He would say.
02:45I told you I don't want to do this.
02:47He would say, hey, John, how do you do this?
02:49How do I make this work?
02:50It's stupid.
02:51He said we're trying.
02:52It doesn't look like anything.
02:55I'm not good.
02:56No, you are.
02:57I'm not.
02:58No, you are.
02:59I don't like this.
03:00Trust me.
03:01It looks good.
03:02Not that bad.
03:06He's doing a tantrum.
03:08He's rather.
03:09He's rather go outside and play.
03:11Yeah.
03:11You've never done this before.
03:12Cut yourself some slack.
03:13I can't.
03:15I'm stupid.
03:17You're not stupid, Bruce.
03:19I feel stupid.
03:20You just need to work a little harder.
03:22Get me.
03:23I want some milk.
03:26We'll do it.
03:27We'll go get some milk and then we'll try this again later.
03:29Okay.
03:32Bring it in the purple cup.
03:34Sean.
03:36Hey, that's important to a kid.
03:38Of course.
03:39He said, we're trying to figure out how to sell it and give the money to charity.
03:45He said, but I was proud of him.
03:47He went after it.
03:48Do I get a gold star?
03:49Very proud of you.
03:50I know, but you don't like it because you didn't put it on the refrigerator.
03:53So you say things that are not true.
03:58Oh, my God.
03:58If you liked it a lot, you would put it on the refrigerator and you did.
04:02I'm bringing it.
04:03And then you make me feel stupid.
04:05I was so busted.
04:06Oh, wow.
04:07From the refrigerator to the trash can.
04:09Why is this in here?
04:10I was like, oh, that was a mistake.
04:12I don't know.
04:12I don't know what happened.
04:13It must have come off with some of the other stuff.
04:15I'm sorry.
04:15Oh, my God.
04:17I keep that stuff.
04:19Kathy throws it away.
04:20Jace, come over to my house.
04:22We'll appreciate it.
04:22We'll appreciate it.
