Sounds like someone was riding a little too high in the rumble seat.This week we are giving away Michael Buble 'It's a Wonderful Day' score completely free. They frequently contributed to injuries – including decapitations. Apparently rumble seats fell out of fashion by the late 1930s in part because of their danger. I’m so excited to share this library with her one day. In the middle of writing this entry I helped my daughter use her Hello Kitty CD player for the first time. ![]() Or it may just be an apt reference to the “outmoded” life of the song’s main character and his/her home town. In that light, Mellencamp’s lyrics may be referring to a sense of isolation experienced by riding outside of the norm. I had guessed the spring-loaded seat of an old tractor, but it is apparently the external, fold-out seat popular in some car models of the 1930s. For my “interpretation” I admittedly had to look-up the term "rumble seat". Rumbleseat is a bit more playful than all that, but I was able to ferret out the standard themes. He also writes of isolation and the tension between where you’re from and where you might go. Between the main street that use to exist and the super center now geographically situated down the road. Between the family farm and the corporate one. But like Bruce Springsteen’s anthem Born in the USA, Mellencamp’s songs are more often a biting commentary on the battle between the little guy and the man keeping him down. Similar to our notions of the heartland, Mellencamp’s music is often confused for simple nostalgia. The people in Mellencamp’s heartland might conger a number of antiquated associations – fair and otherwise, but to me - above all - his people embody decency. But he’s also a reminder of why you can’t judge what you don’t know. To me, Mellencamp is a voice of America’s greatest asset – our people. He’s the first thought that came to mind when, as a Senate page, I roamed the US Capitol alongside the omnipresent purple jackets worn by the Future Farmers of America. Mellencamp also means watching that same small town adjust to the closing of the textile mill that had been its central identity. For perspective, that mall is 16 miles and two towns over from my parent’s hometown - and much further than that in other ways. Music just loud enough for us and whomever was circling the mall in the opposite direction to hear. Mellencamp means cruising the mall with my cousins. They’re a sense of rural America that at age 12 was still mostly informed by regular trips to my parent’s hometown in upstate South Carolina. My associated memories are certainly more tied to the artist than this particular song. I do remember listening to Rumbleseat off of his Scarecrow album, but only in that “now here’s a track between Small Town and R.O.C.K. John “Don’t call me Cougar” Mellencamp truly elicits memories from the way-back machine. Well this isn’t quite the same thing, but I can say I was feeling some pressure the moment I hit “publish” on entry number one. They say you have your whole life to put out your first album and just six months to write your second.
