and I hope you'd do the exact same thing tomorrow, in a heartbeat..

I remember my first Mardi Gras...1965...5 of us drove down from school.NYU...what a blast...I rememer as we're leaving NO the day after, we're tuning the radio, the NO police chief is being interviewed...never forget his coment..somethign like.."It was a pretty good Mardi Gras....only 7 people got killed.."

I was living in NO in 1965 and went to that Carnival. I was in a huge crush of people in the quarter and a policeman put his arm on my face pushing me back. I bit him and didn't get arrested. He said "lady, why did you have to do that, that hurt"


Mardi Gras isn't what it used to be.
