Lyrics & Music by Evan Greer
Album: Never Surrender

This track recorded by Ethan Miller & Jory Leanza Carey

Ballad of Hurricane Katrina (featuring Emma's Revolution & AfroDZak) by Evan Greer & Friends.

"I was hanging out up at the JED collective (where Kate Boverman and Ethan Miller live) in Maine when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. I remember watching the images on TV and being horrified by the eye-witness accounts of racism, police brutality, and shear devastation in the city of New Orleans.
I had been trained as a street medic during the anti-globalization movement in the early 2000s and decided to head down there to see if I could help with my amateur medical skills and budding interest in herbalism.

[2003]
Album: Against The Blinking Green

"The title says it all. Recorded very roughly live at the Mugar Center for the Performing Arts in Weston, Mass. VERY ROUGH! I kind of hate this recording. The "crowd" that I performed in front of when I recorded was extremely small, and that took a lot of energy away from this song. The reason I wanted to record it live is because it is such a wonderful song to do in front of a big crowd. When I performed it in front of about 150 people at the Not My President's Day concert on Feb 26, 2003, I had the whole crowd screaming "NO MORE!" and cheering at the end of each verse.
The spoken-word section at the end is always improvised and often changes. It depends on how I'm feeling when I play it, and what's going on in the world at the time."
– …I hate George W. Bush in that all screwed fuckin' sacks, yes indeed… I like trees –
