NEW YORK - Traveling by boat and wading through foul-smelling water, Harry Connick Jr. surveyed the damage by Hurricane Katrina to his father's New Orleans home.
It wasn't as bad as Connick had feared. "It looks like pop's house made it through," he said. "Everything looks like it's pretty dry."
Connick returned to New Orleans Monday, a trip documented for NBC's "Today" show and aired Tuesday. He had traveled to the city last week.
His father, Harry Connick Sr., served as district attorney of New Orleans for 29 years before retiring in 2003. Last week, the 37-year-old jazz singer said all of his immediate family were safe.
Like many, Connick wanted to return to protect his family's house: "I don't want to get looted by the one-eyed rogue crackhead out there."

"I don't want to get looted by the one-eyed rogue crackhead out there." That's an especially unflattering way to characterize the Mayor of New Orleans....

"True Romance"...one of the best movies ever! Gary Oldman played the pimp Drexel superbly, IMO.

I thought Christopher Walken's role was his best. Or course, anything Walken does is brilliant. True Romance was indeed a great flick.

Connick wasn't talking about this one because this one is cute....
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater.
