[New Orleans, LA] Deep powerful voice – total command of the stage.
Kind of a Tina Turner vibe. It doesn’t take much to make people in New Orleans
dance, but she had the whole crowd going, at 3pm in the hot afternoon. We
walked in on “I Will Survive,” and stayed for a cover of Stephen Bishop’s “On
and On,” and then a medley of New Orleans classics: “When the Saints” … the
Treme theme song (my favorite!). The energy was amazing. EyesPoetic and I both
confessed to some teary moments. We couldn’t figure out what the issue was
exactly, but it was something about all sorts of people having a great time
together or New Orlean’s general air of joy-for-life – regardless, there’s no
better cure for hordes of competitive status-obsessed statisticians than hordes
of dancing New Orleanians.
