Being from New Orleans, it always meant a lot to me the way that LP, and Chester specifically, reacted to Katrina. He was super involved with MFR's efforts, he did that performance of Let Down, and of course he came to visit the city personally which affected him so much that he ultimately wound up writing TLTGYA about it.
He was such an empathetic and caring person, and he did none of it for publicity or to make himself look good. He genuinely cared so much.
