They Be Home in a Hour


Central City

On Sunday, the Mardi Gras Indians came out in a vigil for New Orleans, calling people back with their drums. The neighborhoods are still empty and houses are falling down left and right.

That would be great. There was a demonstration against the war recently-the one held nation-wide, and only dozens of people showed up to demonstrate in the lower ninth ward. The setting, of course, was meant to highlight the fact that we need to deal with issues here at home rather than prolong the war.
The people of New Orleans are tired, and I believe that rallying around his music would be something that could get 'em out in numbers. Hell, we could do a series for different musicians that called this place home (physically or in the heart).
