New Orleans: The Holdouts
I saw some interviews with holdouts in New Orleans - those that say they won't leave. It's so sad. There's no place else they want to go, they don't want to give up on their city. It's their past and present, and they can't imagine anything different for the future.
For them, some Jackson Browne, from Hold On Hold Out [clip here]:
Hold a place for the human race
Keep it open wide
Give it time to fall or climb
But let the time decide
...Hold on hold out, hold on
For the countless souls beaten by their goals
Keep a hold on now
....If you hold your ground it'll turn around
Keep a hold somehow
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on tight
Of course, they really do need to leave. The toxins, bacteria and diseases will be rampant and devastating. I wish I could think of a happier song for them.
