PRINTFarm Aid 2006 – Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp!
At 8pm, Dave Matthews played a trio of hauntingly beautiful melodies. The audience is enraptured. He began with “Every Day” and followed it with “Crazy,” which kept everyone spellbound.
John Mellencamp followed Matthews and is currently playing. His sound fills the stadium and fields beyond. It is rich with guitar and fiddle. The crowd is on its feet swaying to this big sound and John’s electric presence on stage. Dressed all in black, he is reminiscent of the original man in black himself. As he finishes his second tune the crowd roars its approval and John quickly slams into “Paper in Fire.” The crowd responds by singing along, standing and dancing to the song.
John, on fire himself, has thrown off his jacket, finishes his song and begins to address the audience. They respond in full voice, roaring their approval.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
