   Steve hanft: "I'm totally fucked up. I can barely speak. I'm totally fucked up. They gave me so many drugs. But, uh...I'm gonna be here...Alright, what we're talkin about here is...is kind of a...it's a heartland feeling...like, uh, Mellencamp, you know, kind of a Mellen feeling. Ok, what you gotta get together is a... some...a heartland folk singer. Uh, we're gonna need a real quick... Uh, John Cougar Mellencamp, Bruce Spingsteen, Bob Seeger...that type of feel. A Mellen feeling. You know, real, uh, powerful, approving music, uh...of a heartland quality, uh, just powerful straight-forward music. And if you can't get just the right type of feeling, find someone who will pass and change them."
