Haven’t seen this show before then you can expect to hear a great selection of Mellencamp’s hits, performed by a pretty slick band and fronted by the very charismatic Gary Young….’Hurt So Good’, ‘Cherry Bomb’, ‘Pink Houses’ and ‘Lonely Ol Night’ were the anthems of a generation and now the Classic hits of today.
The 31st annual Farm Aid concert was Saturday, September 17 at Jiffy Lube Live, an outdoor performance amphitheatre in Bristow, Virginia, about 30 miles west of Washington, DC.
Every year for more than three decades, musicians, farmers, and fans come together to celebrate—and raise money and awareness—for America’s family farms through Farm Aid‘s iconic concert.

5. Overture
6. Rain on the Scarecrow
7. Paper In Fire

Did you hear about the guy who invented lifesavers? They say he made a mint.
Why do crabs never give to charity? They’re shellfish! Just a couple of Dad jokes to get you prepared for celebrating today….bet he’ll come up with worse ones! Feel free to post your favourites…
