| Crawfisher Drew Landry Uses Folk Song To Urge Oil Spill Commission To 'Do The Right Damn Thing' | |
| The White House oil spill commission got some advice in an unexpected form this week: a stirring folk song from a Louisiana native who pushed those assembled to (quote)just do the right damn thing. During a public comment period toward the end of the Monday commission meeting, Drew Landry, a native of Lafeyette, Louisiana and a Cajun singer-songwriter of some renown, told the commissioners that the army of contractors brought in to clean up the oil flooding the gulf are largely wasting the regions limited financial resources. (quote)When words failed, music prevailed, said one blogger who posted the video on Tuesday. (quote)I don\\\\\\\'t remember a time where I\\\\\\\'ve seen a hearing like this. (quote)We definitely need other solutions, going green -- whatever it takes, man,Landry said, addressing commission co-chair Bob Graham, a former Democratic senator from Florida. (quote) We\\\\\\\'ve got nothing. We don\\\\\\\'t want to be a welfare state. There\\\\\\\'s no point in that. We\\\\\\\'re hardworking people. Landry said he and his neighbors work in crawfish holes or (quote) pay the bills- in the oil fields, and the recent calamity has been devastating to their way of life. He chose to express that hardship in song. (quote) I never thought I\\\\\\\'d be the hippie that brings the guitar into the meeting, he said wryly, before beginning to play. (quote) It feels like BP is in control of this deal, and the Coast Guard does what they want, you know, the press can\\\\\\\'t be around. But more importantly, it feels like the people don\\\\\\\'t have a voice in this thing, Landry lamented after he finished singing. (quote) It just sucks. Let\\\\\\\'s just do the right damn thing. It shouldn\\\\\\\'t be this hard. It shouldn\\\\\\\'t take a committee to listen to people. Story continues below The singer-songwriter said he fears the oil spill and the miserable economic environment will force the (quote) expulsion - of the gulf\\\\\\\'s residents, (quote) people who love this place. (quote) I just want to say, nobody stirred while you sang,- Graham told Landry -Everybody\\\\\\\'s with you. | |
