"Are There Any More Real Cowboys?" Willie Nelson & Neil Young
While 2020 was a year of global madness and sadness, Neil did manage to make the most of it and tried to make it memorable. Between the heartwarming intimacy of the Neil Young's Fireside Sessions | NYA and the blowout sellout of the long awaited Neil Young Archives Volume II (1972 - 1976) Boxset, 2020 was a year that was definitely NOT Rockin' in the Free World, sadly.
As for us? Well, Thrasher's Wheat will continue to celebrate Neil Young,
his music and the fan community. So stay tuned for some hopefully
exciting announcements in the months ahead as we celebrate our
remarkable little milestone as the longest running music blog on the
internet. Our work is far from done. So we'll see you down the road in 2021.
pss - Again, thank you so much for reading our articles, sharing them
throughout the web, and contributing your own thoughts through comments
and messages. Today, more than ever, we need independent thinkers like
you folks out there in the rustie-village that rely on a solid moral
compass – not a pre-determined agenda – to understand this circus, to stand up, to speak up, and to fight for what is right.

Willie Nelson
#Willie4Nobel
A campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize for Willie Nelson's Farm Aid work has been launched!
Willie Nelson's efforts for Farm Aid deserve a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Willie Nelson has been helping family farmers for over 25 years decades and has raised awareness of healthy foods while raising funds for the cause.
Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Dave Matthews joined the Farm Aid Board of Directors in 2001. Farm Aid has raised more than $37 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture. Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep family farmers on their land.
John Mellencamp is campaigning to get Willie Nelson a Nobel Peace Prize. The interview took place on SIRIUS XM Willie's Place at Farm Aid 25 in Milwaukee, Wisc.
