To the sons and daughters of NOLa, @home and abroad: it is a wonderful thing to live in a place that you feel homesick for, to have places and faces u miss. The grass is not as green anyplace on the planet as it is on a warm uptown night. Downsides? Yeah, but Don't believe the hype. We live In the finest city on the planet. And no other city will have us. So its perfect. I'm back in jersey, a thousand miles away from where I fit, and I've no fear of being the odd man out, But damn. Our city treats us like gods and we barely notice. She keeps her kitchen open all night and let's us spill liquor on the streets. We feel safe and comfortable; We've become such creatures of habit. Reassures and terrifies me at the same time. Because if we had to leave could we? Should we? Better to go out on the roof of an uptown shotgun with a bottle of old NO rum and a flying burritto, listening to wwoz.Fuck the rest of it
