Deputies fatally shoot man. That Super Bowl halftime show. Masked Mardi Gras

By Bob Warren

Deputies in fatal shooting: We’re following a developing story on the West Bank today, where Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies fatally shot a man overnight. The Sheriff’s Office said the deputies were wearing body cameras. 


Hip-Hop halftime: What did you think of the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday? It was all hip-hop, and our music guy Keith Spera says it was long overdue.


Mask season: Going to the Mardi Gras? Have your mask and vax card in your hand.(Thanks, Drew.) The city's mask and vaccine rules will remain in effect for the big party, Matt Sledge reports.

Speaking of Mardi Gras, our roving parade guru Doug MacCash checks in today with a really cool story about the Krewe of Pygmalion, or as he writes, "Sexy Pygmalion." Oh behave! 


Rented hitman: Here’s a bizarre police story out of Baton Rouge. Police there say a 14-year-old girl is accused of soliciting the murder of her ex-boyfriend through a website called “rentahitman.com.” I know right? The site is satirical. The arrest was real.


Hope you enjoyed Lunch Line today. Thanks for taking a break with us.

Sexy Pygmalion parade is a farewell to a genius float sculptor who died in January

Velvety skin is one of the features that distinguished float sculptures by the Carnival parade artist Randy Morrison, said Jack J. Rizzuto, the co-captain of the Krewe of Pygmalion. Morrison used a chain saw to roughly carve giant blocks of white plastic foam into the colossal nude figures he created for Pygmalion and other parades. Then, Rizzuto said, he used a wire horse brush to meticulously abrade the foam until it was beyond smooth, until it seemed to pulse with life. Read more
