Beer for My Horses
Over the weekend my local PBS outlet aired a version of the 2003 Farm Aid concert featuring Willie Nelson and gang. Willie took the stage in a "Customs Police" t-shirt, which is a helluva lot funnier than Neil Young's "Stop Factory Farms" duds.
But the ol' canuckle-head takes the culture jamming prize by finishing up his set with a handful of Native American dancers, some raver-chick in cammo halter-and-mini, and the most hi-tech microphone stands on Earth all sharing the feedback-blasted stage.
Love the music, hate the politics or vice versa or somewhere in between, it's worth a look.

Who the hell wants to go back to working on a farm? I never even liked mowing the lawn, for god's sake.
