If they have to end with the same song every night I would hope for Little Bones. That song flat out rocks live.
Unless as stated above... they jam the middle of New O again... thats cool.
I dig ya but...
Was out to see my friend Mr. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tabbenoit.com/">http://www.tabbenoit.com/</a><!-- m -->
Tab was talking to me about New Orleans and what is really going on. He said that most people have no clue what-so-ever the facts of the matter on the ground, even today.
Oil companies are reaping record profits on offshore oil leases AND PAYING NO TAX ON IT. Either to Federal or State governments. The oil leases in the Gulf of Mexico were sold cheap 10 years ago when the price of oil didn't support exploiting the Gulf. The cavet was no taxes on GOM drilling because it was risky...now they are reaping BILLIONS, and paying no tax to the State Of Louisiana. Was gonna go see for myself...that was the conversation with Tab...if you don't see it, you don't know how big it really is. I said (being we were less than 30K from Ground Zero) "9/11 was bigger".
No it wasn't, was his response.
Katrina effected more citizens than 9/11. It was the greatest diaspora in North America since the trail of tears. And Canadians should recognize what is going on, bacause LA Cajuns are ther remaints of another NA diaspora.
So should TTH continue to play NOIS?
Colonel Tom, What's wrong? What's going on?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said, "Hey north you're south shut your big mouth,
You gotta do what you feel is real"
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby, she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years
Yes. Play it and say it. Let the world know that NEW ORLEANS IS STILL SINKING!
I got that the song is done, but the fact is that it is now relevent. Fear no art...and you fear no reflection.
