I've been a fan of Little feat since 1978. This is from a song from their record "Chinese Work Songs". It says it all about New Orleans. It's a proud city which WILL BE BACK.
Bury me down in New Orleans
so I can spend eternity above ground
you can flood this town
but you can't shut the party down
ain't no drownin' the spirit
callin' the children home"
God Bless New Orleans.
