Great Johnny!!! We are Italian, we growed up listening his music, have a friend from Canada, but son of Italian parents, he took to us the music of the Cougar, when nobodies knew him in Italy, he caught our hearts so we still listen!!! These awesome songs take us back in time! First kisses in the house party, the years of high school the girlfriends we believed to get married!!!! He built a joint between 2 different cultures , I have been in America many times and now realised we are the same, freedom fighters, love defenders!!! Thanks to mr Mellecamp !! Love always win!!!!
Thank you to all the hard working farmers out there in America providing the food that goes on our tables every night. One of the hardest jobs out there!
Great video..i can't help but cry everytime i hear this song..it is a worlwide disgrace not just here in the US what has happened to farming families and nobody that has real power or money cares since their interests conflict with small farming communities....very depressing. In a few years we will al be eating only processed and synthetic food.
you did a great job. thank you for posting, It turns my stomach everytime I see them building houses on good rich black dirt farmland. I have watch a steady growth the past 15 years and it sickens me. where do they think we will get our food when our farm land is gone?

A man from the state told my gramdpa that our milk an butter we made was not fit to eat an we could no longer sell any thing!... The man got three bullets in his car before he could get it out of the yard... country liven you know
Many family’s lost their farm land in the early 80’s and ours was one of them after that my life seems to have became a dream and not waking up, it killed my father and my mother later in years cause that’s all they knew
Pelosi is addled with Alzheimer's....just look at her facial ticks and such and heaven forbid she ever again becomes 3rd in line for succession of POTUS...fuck that then there will be second Revolution / Civil War.....the average American is tired of socialist progressive bullshit!

We'll all be eating 'Solyent Green' if the big companies have anything to do with it! Control of food production & water supplies, means social control is eventually easier.Pump all the shit the powers that be want,into our food & drink.
If you live in a 2nd Amendment friendly state you and hubby need to kit up and be ready....the forces of socialist Stalinist communism are marshaling themselves in the many disguises....do not be fooled by progressive liberal ideology it is a ruse to bring about a communist dictatorship in the Land of the Free, the Home of the Brave...teach your children...tell them of the valor of those who throughout the world stood up to totalitarian communism... if they study world history ask their teachers about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the Czechoslovak Revolt against the USSR in 1968, better still have then ask about the Solidarity movement in Poland in 1986, bet none of their teachers will know anything about these events because big liberal universities suppress these anti-communist historical events....
People should thank more farmers across this country they keep food on your table...
that's true
I got goosebumps watching this, as I'm living on my family's former farm (The old barn's still there)
Great video to compliment a classic song. Bravo!

It was a good experience spending a few years on grandparents farm. Spoiled, learned how it should be with a family working together.
My god. This is an awesome song. Great video.

@onlyathought1 we sure need a mental revolution in this country and world..i'll check it out..although i am so busy trying 2survive!!!!
Amen. Long live the American heartland.
Wow. That's terrific. Nice job.
"Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed
Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land
He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right
But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land"
When you take away a man's dignity he can't work his fields and cows
There'll be blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard
Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms
I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name
And some nights I feel like dyin' Like that scarecrow in the rain
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow."
