In a crazy combination of the the rural and the urban, Willie Nelson and the rest of his buddies behind the Farm Aid concerts are bringing the event to New York City. It will be held September 9 on Randall's Island. Joining Willie on stage as always will be Neil Young, Dave Matthews, and John Mellencamp. The event is expected to provide all home-grown food and bring in $13 million to the city. It will be Farm Aid's 22nd annual incarnation. About time New Yorkers learned where their Big Apples come from, no?
