God help the "Fat Man"
Music legend Fats Domino is missing in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, where he had planned to "ride out" the storm. And many other famous music figures there have also been impacted.
UPDATE, 6:26 p.m.: Looks like Fats made it to safety. Praise be.

In your earlier post "America the Ugly", I requested a hot link to donate funds to aid relief efforts. Here it is: http://www.redcross.org.

Now if we can just keep the residents from shooting at the rescuers. :(

Tying into an earlier thread, I've also heard that Alex Chilton is also missing...

Oh Antoine - I do hope we see you "bye and bye".

If Alex Chilton is gone, I'm going to freak out. I just blogged about the song about the guy on Sunday night.
It would be too similar to the time I wrote about Edwin Starr, out of the blue, and within a week and a half he had died.

at least some good news. He's fine.

Relax, Jack - you're apparently not the grim reaper in this instance.
Stolen shamelessly from an online community I belong to: This is third- or fourth-hand, but someone posted on the Posies' board that Jon Auer had received word that Alex Chilton is OK.
