Directly from the article (which is insanely well-written and everyone should take a look at it):

“If the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina can’t shut down the durable New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, than a torrential downpour certainly wouldn’t cause the concerts to cease.”

I’m so glad New Orleans is starting to get back.  I love that city, though I haven’t been back yet.  I am hoping to make it to next year’s jazz fest.  Elvis Costello and Al Green played this year.  Can you imagine?  There are some great pics on that link.  I really recommend hitting the article.
