[ # ] Quayle walks out on Mellencamp show?
July 17th, 2006 under John Mellencamp, Politics

Dan Quayle took time out from participating in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Stateline, Nev., on Friday to attend John Mellencamp’s concert only to run into a political statement. He then made a statement of his own by walking out during Mellencamp’s rendition of “Walk Tall.’’ Before launching into the song, Mellencamp told the Harveys casino crowd, in effect, that it was dedicated to everyone hurt by policies of the current Bush administration. Quayle, who served as vice president for President Bush’s father in 1989-93 walked out of the venue before Mellencamp finished the song. Quayle said through a publicist: “Well, I think Mellencamp’s performance was not very good to begin with, and the comment put it over the top.’’
Mellencamp couldn’t be reached for comment.
