This is, of course, a photoshop job. The picture of George was taken at an event where Mark Wills presented the president with that groovy CARVIN guitar with the presidential seal on it.Big Blue Owl wrote:Hahahaha! I missed this before.

Poor old George

Two years later and the clean up continues
2005 -- US: Hurricane Katrina hits the south, destroying much of New Orleans, where upwards of 50,000, mostly poor African Americans, are unable to escape. At least 28 government agencies, from local Louisiana parishes to the Bush White House reported New Orleans levees were breached, the Bush administration in the know as early as 8:30 a.m. EST.
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

They still have a good culture of music and art, it actually never went any place, matter of fact it is one big factor that helped the city most and there is even a bigger resurgence than before the storm going on now. I got a picture of a jazz man playing on the corner while I was there, I'll send it out to you.Walkinghairball wrote:I have always wanted to go to the beautiful city of N'awlins, but now I don't know.
