Anyone else watching FARM AID today?
On now http://www.farmaid.org/site/c.qlI5IhNVJsE/b.4496947/ stream here or channel 101 for Direct TV customers. So far it's been great. Jakob Dylan was great. Jerry Lee Lewis on now....

5. The last time I went to Farm Aid, I found myself entertainuing thoughts of shooting John Cougar...
Mellencamp.
That sawed-off fool would not get off the stage.
And every minute that he spent on stage was another minute longer I had to wait for Crazy Horse.

8. Bob Costas interviewing John Mellencamp and Neil Young right now
He can be annoying but I think Bob Costas is a pretty stand up guy.

9. Costas commented on the artists being mostly left of center
and the farmers they're helping are mostly conservative...

Uh, Bob, politics don't matter when people need help and I think Neil and John made that clear.

15. moe. From Buffalo NY....
Both the guitar players are great. Chuck and Al.(left to right).

This was their last show for quite a while. They are taking a break for at least a year. They were supposed to end it two weeks ago at theri annual festival Moedown, but decided to do this show and go out that way.

I'll miss em, I have seen them maybe 20 times or so and they are face melters of the highest order.

23. Neil did "A Day In The Life" as his encore....
Holy fucking shit! Incredible. If ths is being rerun you must watch at least this part. Simply the sickiest thing I have ever seen.

The rest of the show is great too. Dave and Tim were incredible.
