black holes and gray matter. in one thousand tangos.

             
claytoncubitt: Most people have heard the song Iko Iko, but they don’t know it’s a New Orleans classic that portrays a Mardi Gras Indian battle. Besides the Big Chief, there’s a Spy Boy who runs ahead looking for other tribes, and a Flag Boy who carries a symbolic flag to wave and warn the Chief when the Spy Boy spots trouble. Near the Chief is the Wildman, who is kind of like his hype man during battles.
