MJJG list-O-mania: intertextual refs (overt & credited)

That was Dr John's first album.  It is steeped in real VooDoo.  It
represents a very long spiritual tradition in New Orleans.  The French
first colonized New Orleans, and they allowed their slaves Sunday to
express their own religions each Sunday in a place now known as Congo
Square, on Rampart st, just outside the Quarter.  The French also allowed
their slaves to become free over time.  Thus New Orleans developed a black
"aristocracy" to mimic white New Orleans society.  Then the Americans moved
in and fucked it all up.
