Watching Treme, see below. You need to read the Times-Picayune Treme blog which explains all the local references us outsides don't get. So now I have to buy Dr John's autobiography, after it quoted him talking about the making of "Wrong Time, Right Place."

"Bob Dylan started it off by laying a line on me - 'I'm on the right trip, but I'm in the wrong car,'" he writes. "Then Bette Midler gave me one: 'My head's in a bad place, I don't know what it's there for.' Doug Sahm also pitched in: 'I was in the right set, but it must have been the wrong sign.'"

There is a great quote on episode 3:

"Forget everything you've been told about Jesus, Buddha, Allah. There is only one God. And His name is Professor Longhair."
