From the Guardian:
“It was heartbreaking to see my city in such bad shape,” said Nathan Followill, drummer for Kings of Leon. While his band are still “figuring out” how to help their hometown, he called on tourists to continue visiting Nashville. “Nashvillians are strong so I definitely think we will recover stronger than ever.”
Jack White, of the White Stripes and Dead Weather, agrees. “It’s just one of those things when you’re in any kind of community, if an asteroid falls, you all get together and clean it up. It doesn’t matter what it is,” he said. Although the headquarters of his Third Man label is based in Nashville, it was undamaged by floodwaters. White is now donating proceeds to the flood relief, and the company’s full staff will be volunteering in the clean-up.
