The rains tried to wash south Louisiana away.
Then the national media and America's cognoscenti tried to wish south Louisiana's waterlogged ruin and its waterlogged suffering away.
Both are still here, not that you'd notice if you weren't already looking hard for evidence of either.
This edition of 3 Chords & the Truth is a protest against Americans' desire to ignore -- to condescend to -- their brothers and sisters at the soggy bottom of Flyover Country. This go around of the podcast is other things, too -- sunnier things -- but the protest, our musical protest, is the heart of the thing.
Louisiana lives matter.AND YOU -- we -- don't get to ignore that, because all Americans matter, being that no American is more American than any other American.
That's a point this episode of the Big Show hopes to makes as entertainingly as possible. While you're listening, check out the Baton Rouge Area Foundation and the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank and lend a financial hand, if you can.
It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.
