bassidol ::: Favorites Newman sings matter-of-factly because he is communicating resignation at the way the powers that be don't care about people. Think of the off-handed comment about what has happened to "this poor old cracker's land." It is the contempt of the North for the South, of favoring city folk to the farmers (they flooded Evangeline and nearby towns to prevent flooding in New Orleans, I understand). The song is not about emotion, it is about American society, yesterday and even now. 07-08-26 01:54:59 _____________________________________________________

BZOGBZOG ::: Favorites One of the greatest poets of our time. Art on every level. History of my state told in the plain language of people of that time and place. This song makes grown men cry down here. 07-08-03 23:42:59 _____________________________________________________
Ermengarde11 ::: Favorites Yes and even a crybaby like me finds intense melancholy in this tune. God love him! I know what it means to miss New Orleans, and I only lived there one year! (coliseum and st. andrew, off st. charles ave.) awesome apartment like you don't find anywhere else I've lived. 07-08-20 05:34:36 _____________________________________________________
