Last Katrina post

This will be my last Katrina post as this is a blog devoted to PR and technology. But I would like to offer some observations on the PR side of this tragedy. Now is the time to be cooperative and generous. Anyone who exploits this tragedy or is even perceived to be less than cooperative will be judged very harshly, if not in a court of law, then in the court of public opinion. The Gulf Coast is home to some of the greatest musicians who have ever lived. Those who fail to respond appropriately to this tragedy can look forward to inspiring searing blues ballads. Do you want your future grandchild to watch some future teenage idol belt out some ballad that holds you in scorn?

When The Levee Breaks

If it keeps on rainin', levee's
goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And all these people have no place to stay
Now look here mama what am I to do
Now look here mama what am I to do
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I ain't got nobody, keep the water away
Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good
Oh cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose
I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works on the levee, mama both night and day
I works so hard, to keep the water away
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me
I'm goin' back to my used to be
I's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
I's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home
