This year's Endymion

Posted by Kevin Allman on Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 3:08 PM

The worst-kept secret in town this morning is the identity of the 2009 grand marshal of Endymion, which will be officially announced at a press conference at 10:30. (The Tiger Droppings blog also says the Endymion ball entertainment will be classic-rock radio staple REO Speedwagon, though we haven't confirmed that.)

His big national hit this summer, of course, was "Sweet Home Alabama" "All Summer Long," but here's a look at the video that made him a Special Man in New Orleans:

"I've been to a lot of cities, all over this great land...New Orleans. It's one of the cleanest I've ever been to."

Oh fabulous! Hope there will be more SDT lovefest commercials a comin' What am I saying? He'll probably be on the float with him. So wouldn't go to see Endymion if you paid me.

Since I hate Endymion, a crony of El Sid's is perfect for them. I wonder if he'll wear an SDT hoodie?

As one of those Uptown snobs you hear so much about, I will--of course--be skipping Endymion.
