was thinking this morning that Katrina and the Waves could get some "attention" like Anthrax did... any chance of them reuniting and getting their name back out there is gonna be a tough sell... especially with "Walking On Sunshine" and "Going Down To Liverpool" in their catalog.

I know this is almost a tasteless post now given the tragedy but how could I have missed this one...from another decade and another riot but very fitting for New Orleans today.
Rioting - The Rugburns
They're rioting in my front yard
They're sending in the National Guard
People lootin, people shootin, baby I ain't just tootin my horn
They're rioting in my front yard
They're grabbing all the beer and diapers
And don't forget the windshield wipers
Fifty pairs, who cares? Man we'll sell' em at the fair
And yeah they're rioting in my front yard
They're burning Manny, Moe, and Jack
The Pep Boys got a broken back
They're stealin' clothes and breaking toes
Hey, did you see that broken nose?
And man, they're rioting in my front yard
The news you can't miss, no
It looks like a hit show
The choppers are taking to the air
The walls are coming down
And yeah they're burning up this town
At least the ratings will be up this year (Burn baby, burn)
Now Rodney King may not have been a saint
But what they did to him could make you faint
We hear the whip, we hear the crack, and just because his skin was black
Now they're rioting in my front yard
Now a man ain't got a reason to smile
If he gets a beating without a trial
Hey wouldn't you be pissed they said Gorillas in the Mist
And now they're rioting in my front yard
Half these people haven't got a clue
They're stealing clothes and saying, Rodney who?
They've got it all wrong, it seems we'll never get along
And now they're rioting in my front yard
Well man, they're rioting in my front yard
Oh yeah, they're rioting in my front yard

How about that one from the Simpsons?
Wiggum: Long before the SuperDome,
Where the Saints of football play,
Lived a city that the damned called home,
Hear their hellish roundelay...
Cast: New Orleeeans...
Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleeeans...
Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
If you want to go to Hell, you should make that trip
to the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp'!
New Orleeeans...
Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!
New Orleaaans...
Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
New Orleeeans...
Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!
New Orleeeans!

Seeing as America finally came to it's senses, swallowed it's pride and asked for assistance I dedicate this song to doodleville.
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...
Where are we now?
I've still got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

This Song Goes Out to You, Big Easy (http://nytimes.com/2005/09/07/arts/music/07rout.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1126119691-mBNt0HgknvC6heiqxELB6A)
By SAMUEL G. FREEDMAN
When Nick Spitzer heard the order for everyone to evacuate New Orleans two Sundays ago, he left his wife and children long enough to drive to his radio studio in the city's French Quarter. There he grabbed several family snapshots, his Rolodex and the master recording of the next episode of his weekly show, "American Routes." Then, on impulse, he reached for a copy of the Fats Domino song "Walking to New Orleans." (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/audiosrc/arts/20050907_ROUTE4_AUDIO.mp3)
As he headed back home, Mr. Spitzer saw the exodus. From the black neighborhoods of the Ninth Ward, all the way across Elysian Fields Avenue, and from the unimproved fringes of the French Quarter, people were pushing laundry carts and lugging suitcases, trudging toward the Superdome. Mr. Spitzer had a passing thought of Pompeii.
By the time he was driving his family from New Orleans toward a friend's house in the Cajun country safely west of the city, Mr. Spitzer was already choosing songs from the pile of CD's in his Nissan, trying to make sense of the inconceivable. He played "The Rivers of Babylon" by the Melodians, with its Old Testament resonance, and he played Louis Armstrong asking, "Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?" (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/audiosrc/arts/20050907_ROUTE1_AUDIO.mp3)
What it has meant to Mr. Spitzer is the necessity to bear witness to his city's suffering and resilience through the art of radio. For hundreds of thousands of listeners of about 225 public radio stations and XM Satellite Radio, Mr. Spitzer and "American Routes" have served since 1997 as the voice of New Orleans, right down to the theme music by Professor Longhair. Now, working with a patchwork staff from a borrowed studio in Lafayette, La., Mr. Spitzer is assembling this weekend's show, titled "After the Storm." (In the New York area, the show is scheduled to be broadcast on Sunday at 5 p.m. on WFUV-FM, 90.7. A list of other stations is at www.americanroutes.org (http://www.americanroutes.org)) "I wanted it to be music of reflection and solace and also hope," Mr. Spitzer said in a telephone interview on Sunday, "an attempt to put some balm on this."
A native New Yorker, Mr. Spitzer, 54, has lived in New Orleans or Cajun country for 30 years, combining his training as a folklorist with his genre-jumping taste in music to develop "American Routes." In a typical week's show, he will explore a particular theme through songs and oral histories he has gathered.
This weekend's show, while typical in form, was to reflect epochal times. Having left New Orleans on the assumption that he would be able to return in three or four days, Mr. Spitzer, along with the rest of the city's displaced residents, has watched and been forced to reckon with the spectacle of flood, fire, rescue, rampage and death.
"This is a natural and cultural disaster," he said. "Maybe America's biggest cultural disaster - in the sense of the loss of New Orleans's cultural stuff, the loss of the communities there that interact and the lack of will to move as quickly as if these houses being flooded were on the coast of Kennebunkport. And even for those of us who got out, there's this grinding uncertainty of whether we'll ever get back and ever live the same again."
Separated from his library of music and interviews, Mr. Spitzer was welcomed by KRVS, a public radio station in Lafayette that broadcasts in English, Creole and Cajun French. He hired a local cultural historian who is also the host of a show on KRVS, Ryan Brasseau, to find music and research previous natural disasters, from the devastating Mississippi River flood of 1927 to Hurricane Betsy in 1965. One of Mr. Spitzer's assistant producers, Jason Rhein, who had fled to relatives in Natchez, Miss., drove down to Lafayette. For his oral-history segment, Mr. Spitzer interviewed Dave Spizale, the station manager of KRVS, who described piloting his boat into New Orleans as part of a rescue flotilla of private vessels.
The most significant work, though, involved Mr. Spitzer's memory and aesthetic. For historical sweep, he chose "Louisiana 1927" (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/audiosrc/arts/20050907_ROUTE2_AUDIO.mp3) by Randy Newman, and "When the Levee Breaks," by Memphis Minnie. For outrage, he selected Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and Sam Cooke's "Change Is Gonna Come." (http://graphics8.nytimes.com/audiosrc/arts/20050907_ROUTE3_AUDIO.mp3) For perseverance, he used the Fats Domino song he had grabbed on his way out of the Quarter.
And for that mixture of mourning and pluck characteristic of New Orleans's jazz funerals, he turned to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band for "The Lost Souls (of Southern Louisiana)" and to the Louis Armstrong elegy he had listened to in the car during his escape.
"There's a line in there that basically says, there's someone I miss even more than I miss New Orleans," Mr. Spitzer said, "meaning that New Orleans is more than the city, the region, the place. It's the personal relations. In another context, it could be schmaltzy. But when I hear that line now, the way it mingles the individual and the cultural, I just start to cry."
