  1. “The people on it are going to die if we don’t start taking care of ourselves more than we are” quoting John Mellencamp, who definitely keeps the tobacco farms in business as he is a life long smoker…and you provide ashtrays on tables and are the only show to allow smoking in the entire venue-that’s healthy, lol. Dominic M., you hit the nail on the head. When you change the lyrics to ‘little pink houses from ‘Ain’t that America, Home of the Free’ at Farm Aid to ‘F*** the Machine’ then show the American flag proudly a the end of the song. Well, he must be a little confused, because people noticed and were not too happy.

    1. Neither have Republicans…and at lest Democrats are highlighting the problems faced by the average independent farmer.
