    Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

    This song has always been something I enjoyed since age 12, but the true spirit of it was lost on me until now at age 39. Probably my favorite JM song by a mile now.

    I remember being at Farm Aid and watching him at the 1985 and 1987 shows. Total Rock and Roll dominance. Wild and long hair, everyone was young and rocking. It's a step back now, and a time to reflect on how we've all grown older, and watched the years pass by. But deep inside, we are all the same as back then.

    Kind of a bittersweet tune…”can’t tell your best buddy that you love him.”
    “This is all we’ve learned about living.”

    I just love this song. It's so poignant. Sure wish the director could have figured out which guitarist was playing the lead part in the bridge though. Do you think that he had his back turned to the audience at the beginning could have been a clue? Even if they had no idea how to read cues, they had a 50/50 shot and they blew it! Oh well, most people wouldn't know or care.
