Souful Sundaes: Shawn Anthony - Beautiful Life

I'm new to this dude. So forgive me if I'm late (always am) but his song was just featured on Entourage and I can't get enough of it right now. Follow the link below for his myspace page and check out his introduction below the imeem player.

Shawn Anthony - Beautiful Life



Fatherless, condemened inhabitants of disenfranchised communities stand defiant, clutching pistols and selling anything they can to fend for themselves on these broken corners. Distant rumblings of cars coming from interestate 10. The smell of uncut grass during humid Louisiana summers. Debris, representing the broken dreams of the disenfranchised poor as they float hopeless by the banks of the Mississippi River. White, clapboard, "shotgun homes" losing their battle with time and the elements, imploding slowly back onto their foundations from decay and neglect. Children playing barefoot in a field of magnolias next to it, momentarily distracted from the sense of despair that hangs like a moldy curtain over their existence. They are the poor and unloved. This is South Baton Rouge. My name is Shawn Anthony. This is our story.

3 Years Later

Katrina hit New Orleans, LA on August 28th 2005. As of August 30th, 2008 Hurricane Gustav is heading that way, although at the time is slated to hit more to the left. I know a lot of work has been done to get the city back to normal, but it can't be near complete after just 3 years. Unfortunately Bushy Boy is still in office. Let's watch them fuck this one up too. We're hoping for the best.
