It is the weekend and Carnival, but we are still singing for the Saints! Axé.
Saints! Axé.
I read The Racial State for work but it was fun. This book is very revealing and answers many of the questions I had. Axé.
Eh toi! Eh toi là-bas! Mardi Gras! Axé.
When the Saints come marching in. Axé.
Saints! “Oh, what a beautiful audience there is swinging with us!” Axé, New Orleans, Axé. Axé.
Professor Zero: Are there any questions? Class: Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? I am posting this song patriotically, for the Saints. But if they win tonight I will post versions of “When the Saints Go Marching In” all week. Axé.
