If there's been a better song written about the death of the American farm I've never heard it. Perhaps "The Rain Came Down" by Steve Earle comes close. This is just a beautiful poetic peace of music. Maybe a tad too poetic. Henley played it at the first Farm Aid, and I think it just went right over everyone's heads. Not the right type song to do for a festival crowd. But a great song nonetheless.
