Mellencamp Brings Golden Age to Life in Hollywood: Going to a rock & roll concert at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood was a new one on us. The venue is normally associated with theatrical performances — musicals, plays and comedy. As it happens, it was the perfect room to watch this latest John Mellencamp show.The theme appeared to be the Golden Age of moviemaking in Hollywood (appropriately enough), and how that relates to telling the stories of outsiders (of which he considers himself one). The stage was dressed like a movie set, with statues of (we think) Marlon Brando and other assorted stars of that era dotted around. It really was beautiful.In addition, rather than an opening act we were treated to a 30-minute video, narrated by Mellencamp, with clips from classics such as The Misfits, The Grapes of Wrath, and A Streetcar Named Desire. Mellencamp takes us through what he loves about them, how he relates to them, what makes them so very special to him, and how they infl...
