Neil Young performs “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere” live at the Farm Aid concert in Mansfield, Massachusetts on September 20, 2008.
“Just as rock & roll is loud and proud, so is Farm Aid. Farm Aid’s greatest accomplishment, I believe, is in the spirit. It’s the fact that we represent the spirit of the good fight, to keep something good happening. It just keeps getting stronger and stronger….” Neil Young
