I know we talked about this last summer also, but they just announced the local date of the second annual "tour of minor

league ballparks". Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson together at GMC stadium(home of the Grizzlies). July 8th, all tickets 49.50, kids free with adults. Not a bad deal! :coolio:

From Wikipedia:

Farm Aid started as a concert on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois, held to raise money for family farmers in the United States. The concert was organized by Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. Nelson and Mellencamp then brought family farmers before Congress to testify about the state of family farming in America. Congress subsequently passed the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 to help save family farms from foreclosure.

Today, Farm Aid is an organization that works to increase awareness of the importance of family farms, and puts on an annual concert of country, blues and rock music with a variety of stars. The board of directors includes Nelson, Mellencamp, Neil Young, and Dave Matthews. Young's sermons about the environment are a highlight of the annual shows.

I've never been to a Farm Aid concert, but would like to go someday. I am a member, and watched last year's concert via the internet.

Check out the Farm Aid website for more information.
