I want to re-up Anne Laurie’s post about how to help people in Houston. I gave to Houston Food Bank.
When Hurricane Katrina hit, one of my local stations did nothing but music from New Orleans for 24 hours. I was just thinking the other day, there’s so much great music from the Houston area too — Janis Joplin, Beyonce, Jimmy Webb, Rodney Crowell, the Winter brothers, the chopped-and-screwed hip hop stuff.
What are your favorite songs related to Houston?
And, speaking of New Orleans, here’s a nice article (edit: here’s a similar article you can read without a subscription — h/t lamh36) about the volunteer “Cajun Navy” of volunteers helping out with the relief effort.
