POST NO. 20: NOW THIS?

First Fats Domino, who was rescued from the submerged 9th District of New Orleans, and now this:

Family and friends of musician Alex Chilton (lead singer for 1970s power-pop band Big Star and 1960s rock group the Box Tops) have not been able to locate him since late Monday when he was last heard from alive at his house in New Orleans after the initial storm before the phones in the area went down. His sister in Memphis and friends are very worried because people are now dying in New Orleans from exposure and he has still not been able to get to a place to contact his family and friends. It is believed he may possibly be waiting to be evacuated in the French Quarter, which was within walking distance of his home.

Taken from the NOLA blog.

UPDATE: ACCORDING TO SEVERAL SOURCES, CHILTON HAS BEEN AIR-LIFTED OUT OF HIS HOME IN NEW ORLEANS AND IS SAFE AND SOUND.
