Sunday when we went out to join the people for the We Shall Not Be Moved video, it was red dress (hash house harriers) day in New Orleans – I just happened to have a red tutu on so I was mistaken for the wrong event many times that day. As we walked up to the music video gathering, someone asked me what group I was with and I said, “I, we, are with the group of individuality, thank you very much.”
Later, when we were at Take #11 of the beginning of the song, the director shouted, “session break!” and the filmmakers turned away from us = meantime, the musicians and revelers moved onto a different beat – our lead drummer called it out: “ah nah ney, ah nah ney” and we responded, us New Orleanians with hips, hands, tapping our feet to a beat that is in our blood, hey now.
