No plane this year folks. Thanks to the generosity of viewers last year, we kept the plane up over the entire Dr. John set plus some additional circles over the Fairground. Though the plane isn't flying, feel free to ask Shell pavilion employees at the Fest when they plan on remediating all their wetlands impacts on our coast!

So, where was the plane last year? Are you doing it in 2010?

I am all about sending this message 100%, but are we really sticking it to any oil company by flying an airplane?

Thank you good Doctor - for telling the truth and staying angry about NOLA's plight. I'm right there with you on your 'clarification' it's not for or against shell and jazzfest, it's for oil industry accountability for our coast. period.

Congrats on your 2009 Big Easy Award for Entertainer of the Year. Listening to "City that Care Forgot" again and again right now - and you deserve it!!!
