NEW YORK -- There's a brutal calculus that goes on in John Mellencamp's mind these days. Time is not on his side, and he knows it.“I am 70.

John Mellencamp no longer takes his life for granted after he suffered a major health scare in 1994. "I had lots of doctors going, ‘John, your cholesterol’s way too high and you smoke,’" the "Hurts So Good" artist told People magazine on Tuesday. "I’d go, ‘F--k it.’ I learned my lesson after I had a heart attack at 42." According to the outlet, the 70-year-old picked up smoking when he was 14.

As the "Hurts So Good" singer explains it, "girls" and what he calls "hangers-on" have been barred from entering the backstage area of his shows since 1991 – when his then-wife Elaine Irwin put her foot down. "Elaine came out on tour with me [early on] and looked at what was going on," Mellencamp, 70, told People magazine of his former supermodel wife, from whom he split in 2010 after 18 years of marriage.

“Strictly a One-Eyed Jack," John Mellencamp (Republic Records)John Mellencamp‘s latest studio album, “Strictly a One-Eyed Jack,” is a work of deep reflection.Over the course of 12 new tunes, Mellencamp sings in a raspy sing-song voice mixing blues, folk, and rock in an audio thread of reflections on the past, the future, sadness, and in many cases, some regret.The highlight of the album is the duet with fellow rock legend Bruce Springsteen on “Wasted Days,” a song that offers the life lessons of Mellencamp classics like his 1982 smash hit "Jack and Diane.”But instead of the warnings to the young to hold on to their youth as long as they can, “Wasted” is the reflections of a man who realizes that “The end is coming, it’s almost here” and looks back with a sense of the loss of time wasted.Springsteen also appears on “A Life Full of Rain” and “Did You Say Such a Thing,” a song that will remind Mellencamp fans of his earlier works with its guitar riff and up-tempo rock groove.Nothing else on the album comes close to “Wasted Time” and “Did You Say Such a Thing,” though the bluesy “Sweet Honey Brown” and “Chasing Rainbows” are close thirds.Longtime fans of Mellencamp will find much to like on this new offering from the artist.
