Here's an eight minute video of Harry Connick, Jr. touring some of the French Quarter and pointing out some of the landmarks and damage. While this strays away a little bit from my commitment to reporting all good news (because Connick points out the harsh devastation from the hurricane), it is also encouraging because he states that New Orleans people are good people and that they will be back. He goes on to point out that the thugs are a very minor portion of the population. This segment puts a very real, human face on what has happened in the last week.
Connick wrote a great tribute to New Orleans that appeared on his album Star Turtle from several years ago. The song is called "City Beneath the Sea" (a reference to the city being below sea level) and it paints a really nice picture of what the culture is like there. The song goes in part:
Take me... Take me
To the city beneath the sea
The river will wrap around me
And the music will let me be
You can find me on the neutral ground
On the corner of Fleur-de-lis
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
