You think about it like this, after Hurricane Katrina, no matter what your situation was, there was, or there may have been, someone there to help you from another city, another state, another country.
If you wanted to play somewhere else, you could get on a plane or get in your car.
And do so.
If you just wanted to go somewhere else, you could do so.
And if you were just here in New Orleans and not thinking about going anywhere else, you could get together with community and create fellowship, create music, create gathering.
With this, this is a culture killer, because the entire notion of gathering close together is no longer acceptable.
