Mellencamp was telling a story in between songs when a concertgoer yelled “play some music,” prompting loud boos and groans from the rest of the audience, a video posted to TikTok shows.
The 72-year-old rocker shot back.
“What do you think I’ve been doing, you c——–?” Mellencamp is heard saying in the video, prompting chuckles from his audience. “Here’s the thing, man. You don’t know me. You don’t f—— know me. Hey Joe, find this guy and let me see him after the show.”
HAHAHAHA

A clearly frustrated Mellencamp replied, “Guys, I can stop this show right now and just go home.”
Mellencamp sang just two lines from the song before declaring, “Know what? Show’s over” and walking off stage, prompting dismay from the crowd and at least one person to shout, “We love you,” according to the TikTok video.
While Mellencamp did eventually return to the stage to finish his set, according to The Toledo Blade, he says his shows are not for everyone.
