1) The only people that call it "N'Awlins" are tourists
2) Would you rather have heard Aaron Neville?

But really, I agree about the choice of music. But they wanted something rocking, I suppose. Harry Connick Jr is not that, and Better than Ezra is the closest (Baton Rouge) local band that I can think of, but who wants to hear them? Plus, it was the whole thing of U2's guitar player starting the fund for musicians and Green Day's stupid "September" song or whatever it's called.

See this is what is goes back to. Who wants to hear that type of music? Maybe the locals that this whole day was supposed to be about. But the rest of the country(that wasn't affected) wants to hear U2 and Green Day.

Although I didn't know they put out that CD and lead the cause for the efforts.
