I don't know what Neil plans to do at Farm Aid, but I don't think most
of the performers are going to be country.  There are quite a number of
rockers supposedly involved, such as the Talking Heads, REO Speedwagon,
Eddie Van Halen, Sammy Haggar, Huey Lewis, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell,
Randy Newman, Don Henley, etc, etc, in addition to quite a few country
stars, such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Merle
Haggard, Kenny Rogers, Alabama, Charlie Daniels, etc., etc.  (all this
according to WPGU's Farm Aid Hotline at 217-328-1100).
