irma thomas wwoz

Irma Thomas performs at the WWOZ 90.7 FM studio in New Orleans' French Market during the station's spring pledge drive on March 22, 2018.

I never understood Ron DeSantis' protests against the "woke mob" until I read Monday's article about the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation board's vote against the St. Charles Avenue relocation.

Those "no" votes abused the very cultural imperatives that WWOZ represents. This "woke abuse" sensibility is unworthy of the group and is downright depressing and disappointing. I thought they would have more sense.

Let's all lift our heads for just a moment and listen to Irma Thomas.
