Indiana native John Mellencamp is in Bloomington this weekend for Indiana University's Homecoming. The Coug — who did not attend IU but was granted an honorary doctorate after giving the school's commencement speech in 2000 — will be on Fox's college football pregame show Saturday ahead of the undefeated Hoosiers' showdown with 5-1 Nebraska. But first, today he attended the unveiling of his very own statue on campus. Mellencamp performed stripped-down acoustic versions of "Small Town" and "Scarecrow" at the event, and he helped out with the big sculpture reveal. Check out all the proper audio-visual documentation below.
