I lived in Baton Rouge for 2 years in the 80s. My husband taught English at LSU. I made him leave before his contract was up to move back to Chicago. I don’t even like going to New Orleans. Learned about Huey Long and was called a Yankee for the only time in my life. Also visited a plantation where the old way of life was loved; they wanted to go back to the good times.

Lucinda Williams has some beautiful songs about Louisiana and her memoir is beautiful also.
