  • John Mellencamp performs "Authority Song" live at the Farm Aid concert in Irving, Texas on March 14, 1992. 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. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

    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?

    Man, I would've loved to see John Mellencamp back in the day. I was really wish that I was alive when he was really popular.

    Kenny was such a powerhouse behind this band and John’s songs over some many years. Shame they parted ways. Wasn’t the same after, well for me anyway.

    Saw him at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia back in 1983. I think he was still just John Cougar then? I was into heavier music for the most part and wasn't expecting much from him but was pleasantly surprised.

      Kenny Aronoff. Arguably the most recorded drummer over the last 30 years. Has played for everybody.

    "All religious notions are founded solely on authority; all the religions of the world forbid examination and do not want one to reason; authority wants one to believe in God; this God is himself founded only on the authority of a few men who pretend to know him, and to come in his name and announce him on earth. A God made by man undoubtedly has need of man to make himself known to man."
    - Percy Bysshe Shelley

      One of his back-up singers at the time -- either Pat Peterson (one of the former Raelettes that sang back-up vocals for Ray Charles from 1980 - '89) or Crystal Taliefero.
