There's a Black Man with a Black Cat

Today's John Cougar Mellencamp video/song was his highest charting single from the "Uh-Huh" album, but ironically enough is probably my least favorite of his hits from that album. Anyway the song reportedly started when John was on his way home to Bloomington, Indiana from the airport and he drove by a little pink house with a man sitting in a chair holding a black cat. He waved and John, and John waved back. Here is "Pink Houses"...
