Talk about surreal. I was listening to Roger Sutcliffe at the Globe last night. One of his early numbers was Hard Road Blues, and while he was playing the song CNN was showing the footage of Hurricane Katrina over his shoulder. With the TV sound off, it was the perfect soundtrack, ironic in the juxtaposition. Truthful though.
I'm having a hard time watching the tv and functioning, knowing that friends are living through the aftermath of the hurricane in such squalor. And there's not much to be done from here at this point.
