What I love about New Orleans, the Knitters played there and we had about four days off, and we left the day before Katrina. A lot of people had to leave and it was terrifying for the people I know. And I was thinking, the last time I was there, if you had to be somewhere when the s— hits the fan, that would probably be a really good place to be. Because that’s a place where people are going to take care of themselves and each other. They love their city and they defended it. Austin is that way, that’s why I love Austin. There are some cities where people are going to stand up and defend themselves and get through a disaster, whatever kind of disaster it is. It’s nice that there are a few places like that left, that still have identity and are tough enough to survive whatever comes.

The poster I saved from the August 2015 show of some of the X members country rockabilly acoustic side band, The Knitters.

My shirt today as I run about the Quarter doing errands, hoping to see/meet some like-minded X fans…
