Picture 64-year-old Neil Young with a straw fedora on his grizzled head blowing a harmonica while pumping on a church organ & singing the old spiritual "The Water is Wide" with new lyrics, after urging us to "READ THE LABEL" on food before buying crap from factory farms. His wife Peggy & a pair of backup singers lend a choir air.
Imagine 43-year-old Jeff Tweedy (in the apparent uniform of the day flannel shirt) strumming an acoustic guitar while performing his passionate Wilco song "I'll Fight" solo, before treating us to "You Are Not Alone," which he wrote & produced for Mavis Staples. Another true believer in the cause: healthy sustainable agriculture. But he dedicated "I'm the Man Who Loves You" to his wife Sue.
It was a friendly family affair in Milwaukee on October 2nd, 2010. I'm glad I attended.
