Let me tell you one thing: here, in Austin, we've absorbed more or less the ENTIRE musical scene of NOLA. They're not going back anytime soon, if ever.

The Old Families of Louisiana (per the WSJ) may well reshape their economic landscape in their image, but the soul of New Orleans is gone.

I'm just so enraged that Texas has enabled them their evil plans by taking in refuge half their city I can just spit.

This is how a REAL governor acts in a crisis:

Twenty-four hours before hurricane Andrew hit South Florida in 1992, Governor Jeb Bush declared an emergency, initiated an evacuation of the population, and called up the Florida National Guard. Some of these 600 Guardsmen stayed on duty for weeks, dealing with the aftermath of Andrew, the most destructive natural disaster to strike the U.S. up to that time.

They patrolled neighborhoods ravaged by 160 mph winds, detained looters and other suspected criminals, directed traffic, and guided military units which followed them into the area. Only two dozen Floridians lost their lives, due to the cool response of the Guv and his Guard.

Well, their musicians will just have to learn to play country, rock or Texas music...

I would have thought the musicians from there might have migrated more towards Nashville or Memphis...
