Movie: In the Electric Mist

Not the greatest movie in the world, but the small town politics, casual depiction of racial divisions, and influence of money really struck me as an honest portrayal of life around here.

Book: All the King's Men, by Robert Penn Warren or if you're more adventurous, the massive Huey Long, by T. Harry Williams

Louisiana's most polarizing son also makes a good lens to study the class and race divisions that exist in the state.

Song: "Louisiana 1927," by Randy Newman or the cover by Aaron Neville and India Arie

It was written in 1974 about a devastating flood in 1927, but it's all too relevant to 2005.

Absolutely. A southern populist who scares the daylights out of the moneyed interests is just what America needs today.

PS. If you're interested in Huey Long, this is a great book.

T. Harry Williams's Huey Long is the best biography on him there is. I just realized it looks like I'm shit talking it in my above post when I'm actually praising it, it'll change your mind if you think he was a boogeyman.

amazon link, unfortunately no ebook yet :(
