I am – Hercules!!

“The Wire” creator David Simon hopes his next HBO series will deal with musicians in post-Katrina New Orleans, according to a story to be published in Monday morning’s New Yorker.

Also? An interesting excerpt from an Associated Press report regarding Simon’s current HBO project:

The fifth and final season of HBO's "The Wire" begins in January, this time focusing on layoffs at The Sun — where Simon once worked — and how newspapers fail to capture certain complex truths. Previous seasons of the acclaimed drama have featured drug dealers, struggling longshoremen, city politicians and inner-city students.
