How The Hurricane Hurts

No kidding, an entire Sunday Styles piece on women named Katrina and how the hurricane has affected their lives. Best catch, however, is the quote from Katrina of “Katrina and the Waves” fame:

Katrina Leskanich, the former lead singer of Katrina and the Waves, who lives in London, said that when her Web site began getting thousands of hits – more than 22,000 on Aug. 29, the day the hurricane hit New Orleans – she thought it was because her new solo song was getting airplay on BBC radio.

Now she’s glad that because of a decision made a month before the storm, her new album’s release has been delayed from Sept. 5 to October. “It would have looked like the most tasteless exercise in self-promotion.”

She said she hopes her band’s 1985 hit “Walking on Sunshine” might eventually become an anthem for New Orleans recovery.
