She Had a Dream, and Boy It Was a Good One

Our "John Cougar Mellencamp January" continues today with one of John's top ten hits from The Lonesome Jubilee album. According to the all-knowing, never wrong Wikipedia, today's song is "a cautionary tale concerned with the cost of chasing our dreams." Apparently one of John's chases recently has been Meg Ryan coming on the heels of his separation of his wife of 20 years. John and Meg have been spotted at various hangouts recently leading to speculation about their relationship. Anyway, here is "Paper in Fire"...
