Mars danced with the moon and turned her red this morning,
and it was two years ago tonight that Katrina began hammering the Gulf Coast.
Ah, me. 9/11 didn't change everything- Katrina did.
While there's a really excellent Playlist for New Orleans that's been posted by mlharges, there's only one song in my head today:
Bad Moon Rising
Creedence Clearwater Revival
I see the bad moon a-risin'.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Don't go around tonight.
Well, it's bound to take your life.
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes a-blowin'.
I know the end is comin' soon.
I feel rivers overflowin'.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Don't go around tonight.
Well, it's bound to take your life.
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Alright.
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
Well, don't go around tonight.
Well, it's bound to take your life.
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Don't come around tonight.
Well, it's bound to take your life.
There's a bad moon on the rise
Try to keep your loved ones safe- the government won't.
