"'The Wire' Creator Talks New Orleans Music, New Series | @prefixmag"

I met Elvis Costello while he was on set near Piety St. after he accidentally almost stepped in my dogs droppings. He was, in real life, one cool cat! Really excited about Treme. They seem to be doing a remarkable job recreating pre levee failure life in NOLa.

Mardi Gras 2010: Deadly Serious

The beet is the most intense of vegetables. The radish, admittedly, is more feverish, but the fire of the radish is a cold fire, the fire of discontent, not of passion. Tomatoes are lusty enough, yet there runs through tomatoes an undercurrent of frivolity. Beets are deadly serious.-Tom Robbins, Jitterbug…

WHO DAT!

I dedicate this song to the NFL

In the swing era, "who dat" chants back and forth between the band and the band leader or between the audience and the band were extemporaneous. That is, there was no one specific set of words except for the two magic ones. "Who Dat?" Lyrics from 1937: Who dat up…
