Anyone else think that the blight and the food blight are connected and that both will end when the tinkers/aiel sing the song?
That the spoiling of the food was related to Rand's "connection-to-the-land-symbolism-thingy". I was under the impression that the DO was responsible for the bad weather, and Rand was responsible for the food. To be honest though, I don't really know anything about this subject, so my opinion is effectively void.
I do happen to agree with you about the Tinkers though. I think that the Song will be necessary for the world to survive after Tarmon Gaidon. After all, the ecosystem for the planet is basically shot. And what better way to solve this problem than to take advantage of a plot element introduced in book one, and (uneccesarily) repeated in almost every subsequent book up until now?
"Take the Gleeman!" Rand and Mat cried, throwing Thom to the Myrddraal. Then they ran away as fast as they could, and Thom's screams quickly faded into the distance along with any inconvenient feelings of guilt.

Ahahaha, I read the capitalized DO as Dark One, not the word itself.
