I saw that this song was inspired by a CNN story Frank apparently saw at an airport...

Does anyone know the details of the story? I searched for awhile on Google without success...surely someone is more search-savvy than myself or already knows the story...? Another example of a FB song i don't pay much attention to, then I listen more closely and now I love it...poor guy

It's about Hurricane Katrina, if I recall correctly.
Check the lyrics and see if that jives.

Yeah, Katrina

Just wondering if the details in the lyrics are all factual...? hurricane-freed convict saves 3, is pardoned by governor but his wife and baby perish in the disaster? brutal. who is this guy?

or is it some similar story and Frank just wrote the song the way he wanted to?

Yeah, it's based on a real incident. I think Frank said he saw it on the news on an Airport TV.
