Hank and the hurricane

Something about those television images of Hurricane Katrina's devastation made me turn to Hank Williams today.
I scrolled down to Hank on the iPod when I left the house, and I have been listening to him since as I embarked on several assignments.
Was it the widespread misery that made me want to hear songs such as "Alone and Forsaken" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry?"
Or did the emerging stories of personal heroism -- borne in part by a stubborn disregard for danger -- trigger an impulse to hear such songs as "You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)?"
Whatever sent me his way, Hank Williams provided the perfect soundtrack for a day where the horrifying images seemed etched in my mind.
