	Blogcritics.org: Randy Hurricane Katrina and Randy Newman's Louisiana 1927
		Neville's rendition of "Louisiana 1927" was beautiful and poignant.For those willing to listen and pay attention to the lyrics it was also a reminder that indeed it did seem that someone was trying to wash the people of New Orleans away.
		The interview focused on "Louisiana 1927." He was talking about what a unique place New Orleans was (care free, care-less), but that it was not a good place "to get get your car fixed." No doubt he's right.
		The 1927 flood is a -- pardon the pun -- watershed event in America history, helping to trigger the flight of poor people and fls from the south to the urban north, driving a permanent wedge between the fl population and the Republican party, and helping to spark The New Deal.

		As New Orleans floods from the failed levees on Lake Pontchartrain, I am reminded of the last time that New Orleans flooded in 1927, when the Mississippi River broke its banks (and a levee was breached by a molasses-tank inspector).
		For all that he would eventually come to be derided, future President Herbert Hoover personally directed the flood relief in his position as Secretary of Commerce.
