John Mellencamp With Bob Costas

The rocker and longtime painter talks about fame and his dual paths of creativity, being an upstander, having control over one's art, breaking the rules, and his influences from Woody Guthrie to German Expressionism to his grandmother. Filmed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where Mellencamp expresses both sides of his artistry as he plays his guitar amidst his selfportraits and drawings.
