The Story of the HurricaneMr Snitch puts
Bob Dylan's old tune to new words.
Katrina took the town out with just one punch
But the press didn't like that story line all that much.
"It's our job", they said, "and we do it for pay."
"It's nothing personal, we just want the last say."
"Someone must pay the price
Maybe someone who hasn't treated us nice
And shown us the respect we're due.
Yeah, Bush and Rove are gonna rue, twice
over, turning media men into mice."Definitely worth checking out. I vaguely recall that the Dylan song was a hit in early 1976. Unfortunately I was in England that spring, so I really don't remember much about it other than the obvious; that it was about the murder trial of Hurricane Carter.
