Johnny Cougar rockin' in Lebanon

John Mellencamp at Memory Hall From the Lebanon Reporter comes this story about John "Cougar" Mellencamp recording a promotional video in our old hometown. "The Coug" shot a video to be used by CBS Sports to promote their coverage of the NCAA basketball tournament. The Final Four is going to be in Indianapolis again this year. John performed his classic “R-O-C-K in the U.S.A.” with a new basketball theme, changing the ending of the chorus to “Rockin’ in the NCAA.” He shot the video at the old Lebanon High School gym, now known as Memory Hall, along with some of the Lebanon High School cheerleaders. Indiana basketball fans will remember Memory Hall as one of the gyms from the movie Hoosiers. I remember it as the place where I saw Henry Lee Summer play, back in the day!
