Lonely Ol' Night
John Mellencamp reminiscences on how he made a 1982 Beach Boys concert memorable.
John Mellencamp will be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame next month.
It was a clash of symbols -- and a crash landing for one cymbal -- when John Mellencamp blew up real good after playing London on a hot August night in 1982.
Then known as John Cougar, the Indiana rock star was unhappy about appearing on a bill with the Beach Boys.
So Mellencamp hurled a cymbal and other drum equipment into the crowd at J.W. Little stadium at set's end.
