Barack Obama may be no great lover of country music, but when Willie Nelson calls to ask a favor, how can you say no?
The junior senator from Illinois is scheduled to appear at Farm Aid's 20th anniversary concert Sunday at the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park. He joins a lineup that includes Nelson, Kenny Chesney and Neil Young.
Obama, though, is expected to be the only politician on stage.
The concert aims to offer a financial boost for Illinois farmers affected by the drought. Victims of Hurricane Katrina also will now benefit from the show.
