If you haven't see the show, I highly recommend it. It's set in post-Katrina New Orleans.

ETA: Steve was paying homage to Woody.

Haven't seen that show lately, but I've been on the set and used to live in New Orleans.

Cool about Steve Earle's homage!

My husband and I love that city too - we met there and go back often.

Such an awesome place!

I loved it that the majority of people were singing along, even as we were filing out of the Waterfront Park.
