All week, I've been expecting a jubilant/melancholy thread, featuring the music that makes us out-of-towners feel as though we have a personal claim to the devastation in New Orleans.
I'll start with "When the Saints Go Marching In"--a traditional New Orleans funeral song with hope of a better life to come.

Don't forget the music.
I'm not very good at posting links like that. But I recommend you to get a copy of this week's New Yorker just for the cover. Sad but beautiful.
I haven't gotten mine yet. Hoped to get it this morning, was wondering how they'd approach Katrina.
Merry Andrew--
The New Yorker cover was the goad that made me stop waiting and post the thread myself.
By the by, usually my copy arrives on Tuesday, but this week there was a two day delay.
Soz -- the entire Talk of the Town section is devoted to Katarina. Good reading!
Rita's raining on the parade.
Stumble It!
