[ROCK] John Mellencamp’s tenacity and ambition are admirable. He sprung up in the early 1980s, and in the ensuing decades released countless albums and hit singles, like “Jack & Diane” and “Wild Night.” In 2008, Billy Joel inducted him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Refusing to rest on his laurels, he continued writing music, alongside other pursuits. Currently on-tour in support of his 2014 release, Plain Spoken, Mellencamp stops by Shea’s Performing Arts Center on Saturday, May 9.
