FarmAid webcast tonite.
The annual FarmAid concert, hosted by founder Willie Nelson, will be webcast today from 4 to 11 pm.
www.farmaid.org. That's Ohio time I think.
Ah, I checked it out. They're asking for a $20 "donation" in order to see the show. Sounds like a great lineup. Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Sheryl Crow, Brooks & Dunn, Emmylou Harris and others.
Unfortunately it's for Windows Media Player 9 only. Strange. I would imagine that Mac and Linux users would be more likely to support activities aimed at helping victims of corporate American greed than Windows users. Especially since we're the ones whose computers actually work well enough to handle a webcast. Most of the Windows peoples I know are hassling with their virus toys, and don't really have the time for entertainment. You'd think Willie would have more respect for the outlaw spirit.
Well, hope it's a good show.
