Barack Obama spoke at Farm Aid 2005 in Tinley Park, Illinois about the importance of family farmers. He also introduced Chicago's own Wilco, who played "Airline to Heaven."

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.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help — what can you do?

Now it'd be the reverse. Wilco says "I want everyone to give it up for Obama".

Good as senator, shitty disappointment as president. I bet Jeff Tweedy disliked this vid 20 times. :))

Oppo, please don't post on another music thread for the rest of your life. You're poisonous vibe is not welcome here. Just so you know, the Tweedy family and Obama family are old friends. Your political beliefs, better characterized as indoctrinated hateful delusions betray any credibility you have as a lover of good music. You are a hater. You are not welcome at a Wilco concert, or even on a message thread about Wilco. Jeff is a very mellow person, but if he read what you spewed out of your poisonous laptop, he would let you know how unwelcome you are in this world. FYI, a Phd in psych makes you an expert in nothing in this day and time. For everyone of you, I could find 20 with the same degree from a better university that support our president and a few who are real Wilco fans.What are you doing here anyway? I thought Obama haters were outside the realm of people who listen to thoughtful music. Doesn't it make you wonder why there are no ground breaking bands, film makers, artists or creative people of any kind who have anything to do with the Republican party, much less the hateful wing-nut fringe that you no doubt belong to. Get the eff out of here, or me and Wilco's security detail will throw you out. Once again, you don't belong here. Don't know what brought you to this thread, but if you like Wilco and hate Obama, you have a choice to make, because right now, Jeff Tweedy is the man who hates you, and you deserve it.

Most of my friends don't know who they are. I have to convert them or drag them to shows.
