John Mellencamp invited listeners inside his Belmont Mall studio in Indiana for what felt less like a broadcast and more like a living-room jam session. Hosted by Jim Kerr, the special blended loose, hit-filled performances (“Small Town,” “Pink Houses,” “Hurt So Good”) with candid reflections on staying rooted, aging honestly, and why now felt like the right time to return to amphitheaters.
