About Those Times We Went to Farm Aid Concerts ...

About that time that we went to a Farm Aid concert...
 
It happened back in 2016 during Neil Young's set @ Farm Aid 2016 in Bristow, Virginia, between the songs "Human Highway" and "Harvest Moon".

Neil Young begins his commentary on the state of the family farmer. Our  seatmate -- TW's Tour Manager "Hounds That Howell" -- then hoisted a F*CK Mon$anto shirt, which caught Neil's eye.
 
So, Neil Young stops the concert and points out the shirts we were wearing
 
We flipped off Neil and his band Promise of the REAL -- to which they in return flipped us all off back.

Quite a joyous little moment in our  Farm Aid concert going.

Then, at last year's Farm Aid concert we had the story of About That Time We Went To Farm Aid and A Bob Dylan & The HeartBreakers Concert Broke Out ... 

While most of our amazing day at the Farm Aid 2023 Concert  was spent enjoying the music, food and people, a considerable amount of time went into speculating on the evening's "Special Guest" -- after Neil Young and before Willie Nelson's final slot.

And then -- without any introduction whatsoever -- a band slowly emerged from the side stage, slowly one by one. We turned to our seatmate Jim and The FarmAidians surrounding us and simultaneously inaudibly exclaimed with looks of disbelief --"DYLAN?!"

  4. For those of you who do not know, Monsanto is over and done, swallowed up by Bayer and then split up by the EU. BASF took some of the business. Glysophate is being used all over the world.
