John  Mellencamp's Vicious Tour
Updated 00:23 PST Fri, Mar 15  2002

The second leg of John  Mellencamp's Cuttin' Heads Tour is ready to hit the sheds again this summer.  The tour rolls out July 3 in Pittsburgh and makes 14 stops on the month-long  trek. A handful of additional shows are expected to be added in the near future,  one of which is expected to be in New York.
 For the first leg of the  Cuttin' Heads Tour, Mellencamp took along The Wallflowers as support. No opening  acts have been confirmed for this round.
 Along with his nine-piece  band, Mellencamp is expected to perform songs from his latest album, Cuttin'  Heads, as well as tunes from his extensive catalogue.
 Although no official tour  was scheduled for 2000, Mellencamp managed to surprise fans in several locations  by just showing up and putting on a free show. Dubbed the Good Samaritan tour,  Mellencamp and two bandmates put on relaxing, family-oriented (Mellencamp's wife  and kids were in tow) shows that managed to attract crowds in excess of 10,000  even though they weren't publicized.

Mellencamp joins greats with  'Billboard' award

In 1992, Billboard magazine inaugurated an annual award that it declared to  be the greatest accolade the venerable music industry publication could  bestow.

It named the honor the Century Award, anticipating the 100 years of  publication the magazine would celebrate in 1994.
