The Kinks' Ray Davies on New Orleans and Katrina

From The (London) Times: "I have been astonished by the reactions and apparent shame of some of the U.S. television reporters who seemed overwhelmed to discover that there actually is poverty in America," Davies writes. "They made me want to grab my television and shout 'Hello, dear reporter, yes, America actually does have poor and underprivileged people as well. Hello, yes, the president might well be slow to react but at times like this, that's all that an over-burdened, out-of-touch president can be."

He's placed some photos of his New Orleans visits on his site.
