Guy Daniels returns with a new MySpace interview with Shane Theriot. Lots of interesting topics covered including one about hurricane Katrina. Shane says:
When we left for Katrina (thank God that I was home that weekend), I took one guitar, a tape recorder, clothes and some cash. That was it. We had every intention on returning home in a few days-little did we know it would be 2 months. But to answer your question, yes it did affect my creativity. I found that so many things were stripped away and I was left to just a few possessions for a while. I wrote so many things during that period. Things just seemed to flow out of al the chaos that was going on. As for my outlook on life, yes absolutely. It has made me very evasive of any sort of media. I very rarely watch TV anymore and I avoid CNN, FOX etc. or any news program like the plague. There was a whole lot of generosity that poured into to New Orleans- people really do have amazingly big hearts, but so many things were portrayed wrongly and so many things were said that were just not true.
